Not a fan of "Physics Teachers on Instagram" sharing vids of a super common lab saying, "check my TpT for the full activity!"
1) You don't own that activity - other people developed it. You just made a handout.
2) Us physics Ts should be sharing freely and openly w/ each other

The number of people still seemingly unaware that Substack has a Nazi problem means it’s apparently worth mentioning yet again that Substack has a fucking Nazi problem.

Help! Parton Community Council has 60 days to raise £70k to buy Parton Kirk (resting place of James Clerk Maxwell). They plan to turn it into a visitor centre celebrating our great hero! The other buyers could turn it into long-term storage 😬 Even £5 would help 🙏🧪⚛️

"getting their subjects fed to them" tells you everything about how these clowns view teaching and learning
Linda McMahon on successful uses of AI in classrooms: "The first couple hours every day students really have on headphones, they're in front of their computers, they're getting their subjects fed to them...the beauty of that is the student almost has a one-on-one tutor...I have seen it work so well"

Since much of human knowledge has migrated from libraries to the internet, once sane government returns to the US, a new mandate should be given to the Library of Congress: to create and operate a search engine that is free to all to use. Something that is free of ads & AI, independent of oligarchs.

This election season is so overwhelming, and I'm not even talking about how many messages I get daily for donations. It's the nationalization of so many state races where disinformation is indistinguishable from actual bad candidates--I can't reasonably vet every candidate in every state myself

Over the last 5 years, have you found yourself identifying more with your home state than the US as a whole over time?

Clean indoor air is *the* main answer to the spread of respiratory disease. Just like in the 20th century we agreed potable water and unpolluted outside air were public goods, in the 21st we should be mandating air changes per hour and filtration inside.
Two new pots of money (one private, one public) totaling $650M, targeting clean indoor air.
I'm concerned by the private fund's structure, but today I'm choosing to focus on the benefits that could result from new money flowing into efforts to clean our indoor air

Elon Musk alone isn’t responsible for Belfast's racist pogrom
The violent response to an attempted murder would have happened regardless of Musk, Lee Hurley writes.

Fellow cis people: Making up “cutesy” pronouns for yourself is literally making a game and a joke out of people’s identities. It’s so fucking disrespectful and dismissive. Take pronouns seriously.
To my body and my emotions, it is received no differently than if you just outright said a slur, because as a trans person, cis people doing this kind of shit are usually saying "my pronouns are fuck/off" or "don't/care" or on occasion, saying to me that they're going to make my pronouns "was/were."
