SAT FOR RESISTANCE I teach my SAT students to be suspicious of absolutes - claims with 'always,' 'only,' or 'the best' are usually wrong. A confident tone is not a substitute for evidence and reasoning. Check out various Dumptruck statements for examples. #criticalthinking #learningisresistance

This is our precious boy, Cat, whom we lost at the start of the pandemic. This was one of the times he encouraged me to take a break from long, stressful hours at work. I especially miss how, when he'd go on walks with us, we'd look back at him, and he'd look back behind himself. 🖤🐾 #caturday

This regime wants its people to be stupid. Learning is resistance. #JudgeSusanCrawford

I honestly believe that, if cats could type, they would spell words correctly and use good grammar.

I can totally see this

I am so glad some youth still know their history.

On our way to this now.

Joy Reid reports that Tesla has lost so much value that Starlink is now Musk's primary source of wealth. Anyone know how to take down Starlink satellites? #SinkStarlink

Capitalism has never been and will never be compatible with democracy.

I am also critical of Dumptruck. Please deport me to Canada.

This pretty girl is hanging out with us on this unseasonably warm day.

Someone please explain to me why women's clothing rarely comes with pockets but men need pockets on their PJ pants.

I feel this so hard. Twice a week at least.

#Haiti: On March 15, Doctors Without Borders was forced to suspend activities at Turgeau hospital due to rising violence. As our teams evacuated, four of our vehicles were fired upon. Two drivers sustained minor injuries. This attack is a blatant disregard for humanitarian work.

Don't let the puppet tell you what to do.

It's a good thing we switched to a fiat currency and invented the internet so that we can't abandon the dollar and create a decentralized, more democratic system. That would obviate the nonsense going on in Washington, and who would want that?

And you don't even have to be a Christian!

'Pravda' (or 'Truth', as in '... Social') was also the name of the state-owned propaganda newspaper of the Soviet Union. Perhaps worth being wary of entities that purport to be self-descriptive.

As long as our economy is based on a fiat currency anyway, I wouldn't mind if we could collectively figure out something else to do that makes all those American dollars held by the top 1% effectively worthless.

I would prefer not to live as a supporting character in someone else's psychodrama.

In honor of Gene Hackman, we're watching Superman, but now I'm stuck wondering what motivated anyone to approach Mario Puzo for the screenplay.

College Board deleted vids for multiple classes on AP Classroom about issues dealing with American Indians, Slavery, Racism, and sexism. For APUSH the first two videos on Slavery in the British Colonies were deleted, videos on Native American societies and Euro conquest, and Reconstruction. #edusky

Saturday afternoon cartoon.

In cutthroat cultures, people kiss up and kick down. They protect themselves by currying favor with people in power and exploiting those without it. In supportive cultures, people speak up and shield down. They protect others who lack power by raising problems to those who have it.
