Tonight my five year old asked me if Jesus is like a Minotaur and how does one answer that question 😂

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.

I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

We need to call out the blatant lie being pushed by the Trump administration—that Elon’s staffers have only “read-only” access. It has been confirmed across departments that they have “administrative” access to computer systems.

Going through old Pinterest boards and found this that I put on there in 2013(?). Never more true than now

In 2004, I interviewed for a teaching position. The principal asked me how many kids I had. I answered. He asked if I was planning to have more —said he couldn’t afford to have another teacher out on maternity leave.

This is why women need protections, diversity, equity, and inclusion.

I just had a video of Captain Von Trapp tearing up the Nazi flag (The Sound of Music) removed from TikTok for violating “community guidelines.”

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.

I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

I remember when right wing media pundits called democratic presidents dictators for using executive actions to get things done.

Trump just set a record for any president on their first day in office.

Every accusation is a confession

Public schools are the heart of rural Missouri. Don’t defund them with vouchers and charters. - Public Voices For Public Schools I tell you the story of rural schools because we are in a fight to keep our public schools funded and open in Missouri.

Missouri is 49th in funding for public schools -- 50th in starting teacher pay. We don’t provide public schools with enough for the basics. The state funds just 32% of schools’ budget --residents must pay for the bulk of their local school budget through property taxes. pv4ps.org/public-schoo...

Spent the morning shoveling snow with my kid. We talked about how--because the world is increasingly stupid, unkind, and selfish--we need to work hard at being curious, kind, and helpful to others. Even if we're just starting with shoveling the walk for our community.

An old friend said something really encouraging to me today, she said-

“Thank goodness we have the option to change in life.”

Just because one path in life didn’t work out the way you hoped, that doesn’t mean you’re a failure. ❤️

“Pre-existing condition” is synonym for medical history invented by the insurance industry to justify the denial of care.

Being human is a pre-existing condition, and we’re the only developed country on earth where a 3rd party can legally hold that against you to maximize shareholder profit.
