Like honestly, didn't think the apocalypse would be manufactured because of *stupidity*

... but apparently these fuckers are happily zooming to the edge of the cliff bc they love only 2 things: to hate & money... And we're all stuck in the car.

Good idea when you've got *check notes*, an education crisis, a literacy crisis, a society that depends on education as free childcare, & has talked about "the Healthcare cliff" since there's not enough Healthcare workers especially after inhumane immigration crackdowns 🙄 #politics #education

I think we need to stop calling it empathy and go back to calling it decency. It isn't a favour you're doing someone else, it's you proving that you aren't a fucking ghoul

Omg hate that too!

Highlighted from an article : "By disregarding those protections for a subset of individuals, it has opened the door to disregard them. Period."

Why is this so hard for people to understand?

It's difficult at times to hold both "this admin is doing lasting and serious damage to our institutions and the globe" and "this admin is full of the most bafflingly incompetent idiots you've ever seen who fall over themselves like a Vaudeville act constantly."

The duality of man is incredible.

Ah yes, the "Thanks for all the unpaid overtime, here's a pizza party instead of a cost of living raise or bonus." 🙃

(Just a thought I had while reading about Hegseth's military speech, bc I realize what I just said 👆 is like, duh)

Watching this administration is triggering. They sound and act like every clueless "business-minded" adminstrator boss I've had in the education field. (P.S. the majority of bosses I've had.)

But, like, even more racist & fascist.

"None Of These Books Are Obscene": Judge Strikes Down Much of Florida's Book Ban Bill In a major win for intellectual freedom, a judge rules against Florida law that led to removing hundreds of books from school libraries.

How about that? A victory for people who actually read.

The Classroom Observation That Made Me Want to Quit Teaching (Opinion) An administrator said my students were "disengaged" and yet there's more to it than that, writes a 25-year teaching veteran.

If you want a small look into what teaching in America is like now, and how everything feels set up for failure where you're, as the teacher, the scapegoat, may I recommend:

The planet does not need more successful people. The planet desperately needs more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of all kinds.

Micro-retirement: has gen Z found a brilliant fix for burnout? Why wait until you’re in your 60s or 70s to enjoy yourself? Some young people are opting for short periods off throughout their working lives

4 Hour Work Week (2007 📕): take 6+ months off. Call it a micro-retirement. Pursue life goals.

Fast Company magazine: take 1-2 wks off every 12 months. Micro-retirement. Entitled Gen Z amirite? 🙄

Screenshot of an excerpt from an article from Futurism: ...People who used to have cushy software developer jobs are now selling their plasma to make ends meet. "Just five years ago, the smartest advice that we had for the kids was 'learn how to code,'" Bremmer recollected. "That is literally worse advice now than 'get a face tattoo.' You can't do worse than learn to code." Indeed, in its latest labor market report, the New York Federal Reserve found that recent college graduates who majored in computer science or computer engineering have higher rates of unemployment than those who studied journalism, political science, and even English.

Okay but did they need to add that "even" before English? 😭

Okay, why did no one warn me there are SO MANY MORE emails in the corporate world compared to the public (and private) education world (something I honestly didn't think was possible)?

Thank you! 🥹

It's so rage-inducing when ppl argue that the tariffs are fine if you buy USA goods. Well, there's no infrastructure set up, USA has spent the last 30+ yrs outsourcing everything.

This is bullying other countries that prolly won't care bc they do have the infrastructure, meanwhile poor get poorer.

I mean, a book with themes about how the American Dream is flawed and rich ppl suck?

Not relevant at all right now!

“You will hear everlastingly, in all discussions about newspapers, companies, aristocracies, or party politics, this argument that the rich man cannot be bribed. The fact is, of course, that the rich man is bribed; he has been bribed already. That is why he is a rich man.” — G.K. Chesterton

In a thread on X (formerly Twitter), a mom named Emily shared this truth: "[I don't know] if the lack of community care in our culture is more evident than when moms casually say they daydream about being hospitalized for something only moderately serious so that they are forced to not have any responsibilities for like 3 days."
