She’s making it happen, y’all.

@jasmineforus.bsky.social is activating non-voters just like she said she would.

“55% of the people that showed up on day one don’t normally vote in a primary. In fact, 20% of those voters were first-time voters.” 💥

Student voice - important. Latest from the students says that they want tighter discipline & disturbance-free lessons. Good. Also, more chips (fries) and less writing
Parent voice - emails/calls responded to that day. School bends over backwards to accommodate them
Teacher voice...teacher voice?

A cardboard Ammonite made by me.

Lots of different cardboard ammonites, made by children with a few of my own thrown in.

I've added a blog to the website all about making 'Ammonites'. I've been based down on Dorset's Jurassic coast for over 20 years now, so I've made a few! 🙂

We are all immigrants. Unless you came over on the Mayflower. I am an immigrant to Canada having grown up in the US. America was built by immigrants. Some people have forgotten that.

We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

A lovely surprise when I arrived home tonight - the January edition of Education In Chemistry from the Royal Society of Chemistry, with my article on page 21!

Hey @thehill.com we’re still waiting on your apologies for this lie. 🤷‍♀️

Tbh it's a bit frustrating seeing edutwitter complaining that they 'can't make bluesky work' so they have to stay on twitter (apparently despite the CSAM). You have to actually try to make this place work for you, not post 3 times and only follow 100 people.

Amazing what someone will do to stop people talking about the Epstein files

I dunno...seems a l'il hinky to me....

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Instead of everybody making the same joke about the FIFA Peace Prize, maybe we could boycott the World Cup?

Here's a really easy New Year's Resolution:
If you're sick with something contagious, you will stay home if your circumstances allow.

If you can't stay home, you will mask around others until there is no possibility you are contagious.

By making these choices, you will literally save lives.

Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

You can't name one thing America needs from Russia.
There's a long list of things America needs from Canada.
So why is Trump kissing Putin's ass and picking fights with Canada?
This is why he has bankrupted every business he ever started.

Next year's artists signed contracts to perform at "The Kennedy Center for Performing Arts." Since a venue with that name no longer exists, and one with a very division name many artists would not wish to be associated with does, they should be able to get out of their contracts.

If this is true, it is the most impeachable offense ever.

Graphic with a blue background and large white text reading “DEAR AMERICAN FRIENDS.” Below is a screenshot of a post explaining that Canada does not have CBS, that a “60 Minutes” episode aired normally in Canada, and stating that Canadian networks are not subject to U.S. government interference. The post ends with “We’re not under a dictatorship. You are.”

This message hits hard.

Merry Christmas! Michelle and I hope you have a wonderful holiday filled with light and joy.
