We eliminate connections for efficiency. But we must remember: the goal is not an efficient world. It is a connected world.

Someone needs to teach the new teachers that a lot of vacancies is a red flag.

I hate when people overhype things on on twitter so I will just state calmly that this is the greatest thing I've ever seen in my life

Neat opportunity for anyone interested in teaching CS to learn from @angichau!
Curious about exploring #csed? New opportunity for an associate teacher for CS in our middle school @nuevaschool. This is our teacher "apprentice" program and you would be paired with me as lead teacher. We would co-teach required CS classes together! nuevaschool.applytojob.com/a…

Any recommendations for great PD for computer science teachers? Both in expanding their CS pedagogy and in maintaining CS skills? TIA! @saberikhan @jolinaclement @mosspike @techSMIF

It’s okay to change your mind about things or be curious about new ways to solve a problem.
I went to law school knowing our criminal legal system was broken and thinking being a “good” prosecutor is how I could help fix it.
Now I believe in abolition.

My father said that DMX is the embodiment of living a full life. He’s been dirt poor, & he’s been a multimillionaire. He’s been in prison, & he’s performed in front of 400,000 people. Yet, every time you see him, he’s happy as can be. There aren’t any negative stories.

If life is stressful and unhappy may I suggest not being on twitter much? I spend my time pulling weeds and planting trees now, and barely open twitter. Just don’t need to compete in the who-can-be-more-successful-and/or-rageful game. highly recommend, 10/10

Did you know: lots of 1st gen Asian parents don't teach their kids their native language in order to make integrating at school easier. My parents never spoke Thai to me, and I didn't want to learn b/c of my own proximity to whiteness. It's a constant source of regret for me.
