When people tell you you can’t just eat away your problems, show them this article about eating invasive species. www.bbc.com/travel/artic...

This year, respond to the Trump admin by burying my head in #education policy and technology. Just to ACT. As exec orders passed that 1st week freezing funding for accessibility, my son was diagnosed with #autism. Politics is so personal. It is strange to be so motivated and so, so tired.

Some state oversight coming to the rescue in Bridgeport. Good stuff! ctmirror.org/2025/01/22/c...

Connecticut is a little chilly today.

Design idea: an ouroboros (snake devouring its tail) with the caption “don’t tread on me for I am also you”. Printed on a gigantic flag and flown from the back of a really shitty truck.

The rise of accountability testing, the teacher shortage, the ubiquity of smartphones and social-media platforms — all contributed to Gen Z's academic habits. Then the pandemic arrived, adding new challenges and worsening existing ones. chroni.cl/426IMb4

A morbid thought as LA burns and half the country was just buried in snow: Some say the world will end in fire Some say in ice. From what I’ve tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to parish twice To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice

Great summary of some of the many players at work making decisions and allocating money. #education #EduSky #connecticut ctmirror.org/2025/01/02/c...

Fantastic video. Glosses over education @ min 13 but this is how you lean into a disrupted status quo. Let’s grieve political losses quickly and rethink how we will advance quality of life through policy with the chess pieces where they are www.meidasplus.com/p/dems-are-c...

If you were born in the 1900s, this is your PSA that you can just watch a New Year Celebration in a different time zone and go to bed early. Happy New Year! We love you, London- Good night!

I tend to make new goals during the new moon, and it’s so close to New Year’s Eve this year! In the next month, I plan to attend some of the town board of ed meetings and get involved in the school systems my kids will attend one day. Anyone else have any #edusky goals?

RIP Jimmy Carter. Thank you for all you have done for your country. www.chronicle.com/article/here....
