substack.com/@mousepatronus for our newest episode. The subject: PARENTHOOD.

In 6th grade, my teacher Ms. Z read this #book to our class. Fast forward 20 years (!!) and this book shows up in a little free #library on my walk. Time for me to go read in the sunshine!

Today's #challenge: go outside, find a little free library, and pick up a book. ☀️ And tell me what you're #reading!

#educators must always center their #teaching in the understanding that #trauma is in the room. For all we ask them to carry, we must remember what they are carrying on top of that - the invisible backpack - that impacts their day-to-day functioning. By maintaining our awareness and our #empathy, we can help #students unpack this extra weight and find understanding and belonging in the #classroom.

Today we finished listening to an audio recording of "Two Old Women" by Velma Wallis. This tale comes from Athabascan culture - specifically the Gwich'in tribe - and follows the story of Sa and Chidzigyaak, two elderly women abandoned by their tribe during a harsh winter. The story follows their struggles and the success of their survival.

@MisterMultiverse @dgar actual conversation at the grocery store yesterday

🌱Learning isn't possible unless a child is brought out of their survival state into a thriving state.🌼

Ensuring that our students know they are safe and they belong is crucial to regulating the lower brain. When a child passes through the lower levels of Maslow's Hierarchy (safety and security; love and belonging) they move into a state where they can engage the cortex and participate in the learning process.🧠

"#Americans were sleep-marched into #fascism": Signs of creeping #authoritarianism we can't miss again

Americans have "no lived experience of what happens when #oligarchs sink their fangs into a country"

By Chauncey DeVega
Published February 3, 2025

"Late last year, as Donald Trump and his transition staff crafted executive orders, pardons, and a multi-front policy blitz designed to create 'shock and awe' at the dawn of his second term in the White House, they were confident that the American people would ultimately let them get away with it — no matter the initial media or political backlash.

"According to two advisers who spoke with the president-elect in advance of his inauguration, Trump was betting that a 'flood the zone' approach could overwhelm a demoralized Democratic Party and oversaturate the media ecosystem. Trump and his officials were confident the general public would grow numb — and stay numb — to this opening onslaught."
