The weird harassment of @Malala on the #oscars feels grossly disrespectful and #xenophobic @jimmykimmel

I grew up on Dupar’s pancakes at The Farmer’s Market in LA.But my best friend, @DawnLafreeda has a pancake empire w/her @DennysDiner Restaurants. Okay, admitting that a Grand Slam w/pancakes is hard to beat. It’s the best comfort food. And we can all use a bit of comfort. Right?

To all of the parents of #nerodiverent kids who have been intensely failed by schools during #COVID #onlinelearning, I am you and I've rage-eaten, cried, and punched walls for you. #covidschooling #werenotokay #ADHD #Neurodiversity @NeurodiversePod @ChiPubSchools
Now completely obsessed with how many cats @lennonparham has. They seem to be swarming around her on the #PlayingHouseReunion

Loving all of the things about @lennonparham and @Jessica_StClair talking about having their babies on set. #playinghousereunion. Just reinforcing what I wrote about here: flowjournal.org/2019/01/lenn…

. @ChiPubSchools dying need to return was based on remote learning failing kids. Now 65% of all kids will be online at ANY given time but it’s fine. So failing THOSE kids is cool @janicejackson & @chicagosmayor? #ctu #SmokeandMirrors #everykidleftbehind #iep504disaster @CTULocal1
CPS CEO Janice JAckson says, of improvement to remote learning, she will not commit to reducing class time... and says there are no plans for overall improvement to remote learning. She says she thinks what cPS is offering is "as strong as it can get."
On @SuperBowl Sunday, 17 years after #nipplegate, I ask that instead of pointing fingers at @jtimberlake, you get in touch w theatrical costume designers/makers & ask them how fabric works. They're largely under-employed right now. They may have time & thoughts. #nothowthatworks

Very curious: how many districts have mayor appointed boards, state takeover of sped for sped law violations, rampant student sex abuse, record school closings in black & brown n’hoods, jailed CEOs, schools w/out nurses, libraries, clinicians, record data breaches, etc? #ERSBnow
