Evangelical pastors telling women to “go home” have no idea it’s in our homes (with or without partners) that we are raising fierce feminists who are going to leave one day and set off to destroy misogyny in the world around them.

Today I taught a Mexican student that “quiet” classrooms are a product of whiteness & it’s okay to be loudly engaged. Then he pointed to my Kombucha and said “What’s that?”
Me: “The whitest thing on my desk.”
You win some, you lose some 🤷🏻♀️

If our focus is solely on "engagement" in the classroom, we've created a culture where the student needs a teacher to learn. If we focus more on empowerment, the student gains ownership over their own learning, growth, and direction. #InnovatorsMindset

A friend told me to watch a novela called “La Rosa de Guadeloupe” on Netflix and so far it’s about a young boy who accidentally kills the girl he has a crush on by firing a gun on NYE. 10/10 would recommend

This is so very important. Survivors of internment camps, survivors of the Holocaust, they are speaking out against ICE and its inhumane detention and deportation practices. xitter.cf/AdamCDesrosiers/status…

Ruby Bridges is still alive and only 63 years old. This was not long along. Many of the people who endured cruelty and humiliation and faced down racism are still with us and have important stories for us to hear and digest. #BlackHistoryMonth xitter.cf/jemishaaazzz/status/95…

Me: “Hey, did you lock up?”
Nat: “Yeah, so if anyone tries to come in, you should attack them. Use the pun book - it has taken out a few people. The puns are killer. 😏”
It’s so good to be home

Good. Marijuana enforcement is carried out with staggering racial bias. More cities should follow San Francisco's lead. xitter.cf/NPR/status/95901339068…
Student 1: “Miss, you got a boyfriend?”
Me: “Nope, not since you asked me last week.”
Student 2: “Not YET, Miss.”
Hey, you know, thanks for the positivity 😏

Happy first day of Black History Month! A few reminders:
Black on Black crime is a myth
Yes, slavery was a big deal
The Civil Rights mvmnt was not a 3-day festival where MLK passed out cotton candy
Rosa Parks’ ghost will slap you if you say “what about white history month?”
