Reached the cry in a dark room phase of the week. The impact on loved ones, students, & staff broke me today. The stories of fear, student self harm ideations, anxiety, tears…then seeing people taking joy in the cruelty was too much today. Gonna disappear tonight & jump back in the fight tomorrow.

Today, honor a King, not a Felon. #mlkday2025

Bear with me on the long post ahead... Woke up pissed, scared, sad, numb, and worried this morning. It is the day I have been trying to convince myself wouldn’t happen or that there was some miracle that could prevent this impending disaster for so many families, children, and so many others.

Vikes win and secure the 1 seed. I actually think they’ll win by 10. Detroit D is too hurt and they haven’t played a defense as strong as MN’s in awhile. I really think it’s @vikings.bsky.social year! MN 38 DET 28

Seeing many stories on the edu socials centered on Christmas. Had a convo w/ a few of our Muslim students needing a pep talk. What came out was how hard this time is for them b/c of all the Christmas stuff people talk about. Please pause before putting that elf on your classroom shelf next year.

Solid win! Though could have used Jacobs to go for at least 50 yards tonight 🤷‍♂️ Already looking forward to next week against Detroit! #GoPackGo

Sign it’s been quite a week: Out of habit from saying it so much at school, I tried to re-direct my dogs this morning with First - Then statements. 🤦‍♂️ #EduSky

Watching this on repeat to help me break through the self-doubt and questioning if I have what it takes to do the work during this most challenging of my 24 years in education... #EduSky #EduSkyChat youtu.be/i-e8ZJBzw8Y?...

Hey @arneduncan.bsky.social or any other #eduSky policy folks... What are some questions or plans LEAs should begin thinking about if 47 tries to eliminate the Dept of Ed as he campaigned on?

What's your Sunday evening prep routine to get ready for the week? I get my weekly newsletter out to staff, try to zero out my inbox, and set my calendar trying to prioritize time to support in classrooms - even though my classroom visit plans are usually toast by Monday afternoon 🤷‍♂️. #EduSky
