“All forms of education are political b/c they can enable or inhibit the questioning habits of students, thus developing or disabling their critical relation to knowledge & society.” One important implication: “Rote learning & skills drills" inhibit kids' "civic & emotional developments.” -Ira Shor

Power went out at the radiology center with no idea when it will turn back on. One old white lady is on her cell yelling at the rescheduler how everyone here is pissed off. No one is pissed off.

You know times are bad when the terminally ill, retired law enforcement officer wakes up and says, "It's a good day to go fight fascism." We've been at the Reisterstown overpass #NoKings protest since 10am. Brought a chair since stamina requires it. But we are here with flags and signs. #resist

I was about 3 years old and I was on Romper Room ... but the real exciting moment was going to the bathroom and getting to talk to Doo Bee. I didn't know giant insects peed like humans! It was very exciting.

America has never been broke. It’s just violently anti-poor. Troops in LA cost $134M — the price of 44 million school lunches. But sure, let’s keep pretending the issue is lazy parents and not a government that eats kids for breakfast.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Our Community Fridge project is moving along, slow but sure. A business is donating a $1K outdoor "mini" fridge so we won't have to worry about food spoilage during the super hot Baltimore summers. It never hurts to ask. #MutualAid

If you say "I was homeschooled but my parents didn't teach me anything" then you weren't homeschooled, you were neglected. Let's not confuse those.

Medical appointment today has got me anxious, so I decided to do some meditative drawing to pass the time. It's been 2+ years since I've zentangled but it still gives relaxation. #caregiver #art #zentangle

There's not much about the good ol' days that I would bring back - but being able to work a single 40-hour a week job AND be able to afford to buy a house, a car, and raise a family is one aspect I'm all for - just without the racism and misogyny #TaxTheRich #CorporateWelfare
