Love a good Taiping Rebellion reference in the morning. My students' faces when you tell them a Chinese guy was like "yes, it's me! Jesus's long lost relation, let's overthrow the Empreror" in the 1800s. A version of that face definitely happened to me this morning when I saw this insane image.

Hello, I made you a feed of your cats watching the Artemis II splashdown bsky.app/profile/did:...

Earthset from Artemis II. I am overcome.

The blue, white, green, and brown of the planet Earth against the black of space

Via @NASAEarth:

“The Artemis II crew captured beautiful, high-resolution images of our home planet during their journey to the Moon. As @Astro_Christina put it: ‘You guys look great.’”

It's no coincidence that the multi-ethnic postcolonial democracies of the Americas do jus soli citizenship while the retrenching racist countries in places like Europe have shifted to a more ethno-national basis for citizenship through jus sanguinis. I know which one America should continue to be.

OpenAI made $2B in revenue last year. Teachers are now paying the emotional tax for it - in classrooms, in trust, in the slow collapse of pedagogy they spent years building.

That's not disruption. That's EXTERNALIZED cost. #raisewages

Image is line paper with writing showing an English word followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled and pronounced. The word is guillotine and pronounced ahskoodahkee-ah

Your Cherokee words for today.
The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

Oh, my tangents get out of control. :) But 1 benefit of teaching the same stuff and occasionally having time to read more is that eventually the light bulbs go off. Henry Clay for example asked if killing thousands of natives qualified AJackson for office, which I think is a relevant question here?

Powerful stuff from our students:

"AI cannot coexist with education — it can only degrade it.... With our own university leading the charge, AI is now corrupting those few sacred spaces and leaving us with nowhere to engage in true scholarship."

Can we just start calling him Tsar Nicholas II or too soon?

As a history teacher, sometime in the last 3-4 years of teaching world and US the sociopathy part of this has really stuck out to me - so many empires destroy themselves fighting over who inherits, so many leaders holding life and death in their hands.. We need a better system in the 21st c.

Forever and ever amen

Beauty.

FIFA's first ever Peace Prize winner has become the first person to bomb a country out of participating in the FIFA World Cup.

CONFEDERATE RECKONING by Stephanie McCurry, 2010. Turns the Civil War inside out to look at what was happening to the non-slaveholders (esp women) in the Confederacy as they kept a society on life support, virtually by themselves, without representation or voice in the madness of a failed society.

Holy shit this! Every movie - every single one of them kills a parent or both parents and treats it like it's normal, CREATES a normal out of it. All life needs processing and discussion, don't act like you're neutral here or you CAN be neutral. - Signed, High School History Teacher

Omelas already exists: no need to build it or choose it. We already live here –in the narrow, foul, dark prison we let our ignorance, fear, and hatred build for us and keep us in, here in the splendid, beautiful city of life...

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''

There are two kinds of people in the world:

People who suffered, and think because of that, everyone else should suffer the way they did because otherwise it's not fair.

People who suffered, and think because of that, no one else should have to suffer either.

Be the second.

As silly as it sounds, I think this is one of those places where sports culture fails us - pundits and analysts are SO wrong SO often, and we almost always just do a collective shrug. Tons of them are former coaches and players aka "great men" so yeah.. we just never call them on their bullshit.

It's exactly this. Musk never gets called on the fact that he's been 10 years out from a moon colony for the last 16 years; Republicans never get called on anything; why wouldn't CEOs start testing out this new accountability-free zone and just say whatever's convenient to manipulate the moment?

Bad Bunny “together we are America”

So I was really curious why Bad Bunny wore a #64 jersey - is that a shot at the complete BS official death toll of 64 after Hurricane Maria or is that just a totally obscure connection?

Also, that show fucking ruled. How are you not moving to the beat, or getting misty eyed at God Bless America?

I've reread this like 3 times. Freed herself from slavery by running away, *went back a week later bc the slaver was talking shit, set his house on fire, and then escaped again is absolutely incredible queen shit

Keep calling, folks.

a man in a boat is looking at a shark in the ocean and says yeah . ALT: a man in a boat is looking at a shark in the ocean and says yeah .

Let me be the first to say that with Kai back... We're gonna need a bigger boat.

You can't reform this. It must be abolished.
