Screencap of a post from Beth Frazier Smith on Facebook: Prime Day is coming... and while I can't add "patience" or "extra recess" to my Amazon cart, I can add a few fun things to help my students this year! If you're shopping the sales and feel like spreading a little classroom magic, l'd be so grateful for any support. My Amazon Teacher Wish List is linked below — every pencil, decoration, and organizational bin helps set the stage for an awesome year. No pressure at all - but if you're feeling generous (or just want an excuse to shop guilt-free) my students and I appreciate it more than you know! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/ LGZ28K0580F8?ref=cm_sw_sm_r_un_un_KS9I6d- kHpIDHy Thanks for cheering us on!

Sharing on behalf of my sister who is a saint (school #teacher in rural #NC). Now more than ever both our educators and our kids need our support in the #classroom.

Here’s her wishlist link, even just a few extra dollars helps #ClearTheList: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

My husband, the glorious @simeonberry.bsky.social, is a featured reader at this “country is burning let’s do something positive at the local level” event. Near Western MA? Go forth!

Kidnapping.

Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping.

Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking.

A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

It's time to start reminding people: LILIES ARE DEADLY FOR CATS. The leaves, the petals, the stem, even drinking a bit of vase water or licking a few grains of pollen from their fur can cause fatal kidney failure. ⚠️ www.fda.gov/animal-veter...

The CDC Buried a Measles Forecast That Stressed the Need for Vaccinations The move — along with the CDC’s explanation — is a sign that the nation’s top public health agency may be falling in line under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime critic of vaccines.

This week, as the number of confirmed measles cases rose to 483, the CDC buried a report that would’ve stressed the importance of getting vaccinated.

The move was “not normal at all,” one agency staff member said.

This is the important part! If you submit your application for a gender marker change, you will not receive your passport or your supporting documents back.

Trump just literally eliminated an Executive Order to reduce the price of prescription drugs. They are ripping you off, personally. They never gave a shit about the price of anything.

Back at you 💜

Here's why it would be a mistake to do anything that resists fascists, By Some Fascist

Fact-checking wasn’t “biased” against conservatives. Conservatives just shared more false content. If there’s a sportsball game and one team fouls four times as much, it’s not “biased” for the ref to call four times as many fouls against that team.
