Fredrik Backman’s new book “My Friends” is my second summer read and it’s a gut-punch and I am immediately undone. Lots of loss lately. Lots of heaviness. Teenagers really are the best kind of human.

I started listening to this in my AirPods & it took me aback that my voice just pops out of the void 😂😂😂😂😂 5 minutes in and I have thoughts! 1) @covingtonedu.bsky.social’s voice sounds like he does a podcast 😂 2) MORE TEACHERS TALKING ABOUT THINGS ON YOUR PODS podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

The must-listen of the day, hands down 🙏 (also: can this be required listening for all teachers before the 25-26 school year? 🤔)

If you're looking for a tangible thing you can do for Juneteenth that doesnt feel performative. Go to @heymrsbond.com (a BW who is a born and raised lifelong Texan) and send her a VenMo, purchase items for her classroom, or if you are a publisher/know a publisher, pass her info to them.

Played a game that asked “what would be your dream job if money wasn’t a concern?” I’d be a teacher, y’all. I’d always be a teacher 😭

Do I put conference presentations in my resume/CV?

Research that proves what many of us educators already had observed. @heymrsbond.com You'll like this if you haven't already seen it.

You know a conference quote is good when multiple people hop online to share it at the same time

The speed with which @marcusluther.bsky.social has a document assembled and messages with plans in the group chat has to be studied 😂🤣 “The man is NONSTOP!”

The look on Audra McDonald’s face when she sang, “I dreamed it for YOU, June,” has consumed my thoughts for a week. It’s agonizing.

FOUR HOURS LEFT ☀️ $17 sponsors one student to use Spark Space for one day (internet, electricity, & more). Because students are still studying—and midterms are right now. Even $1 tells these students that we believe in them & their dignity. 430/510: chuffed.org/project/spar...

Absolutely! This is what one of my students said in her reflection about what she wanted to remember about the year. Laughs first--because we loved to make space for joy--but work after that.

Sometimes, before they thrive, THEY FIGHT. I spend so much time convincing students that thinking is worthwhile and important. And that what they have to say is worthwhile and important. Once they do it though?! Magical. Unstoppable. Undefeated.

"We do hard shit together" would make for a very-efficient one-sentence syllabus 😂

I’d argue that rigorous and academically challenging work builds a strong classroom rapport. We do hard shit together 💛

One of my bigger frustrations from this school year: the false dichotomy too many buy into that you can EITHER have positive rapport and relationships in the classroom OR rigorous, academic challenge. Both/and. Both/and. Both/and.

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

Maybe, especially if your voice shakes.

Silence is violence. Speak up, even when your voice shakes.

If this were any other country, the United States would invade the United States if it got to the ‘assassinating dissenting political leaders’ phase of instability and turmoil.
