It is fine to question the news, critically look at what you are seeing and hearing and identify bias. It is not fine to say all news is fake so I don’t listen to it. Ignorance about what is going on in the world isn’t helpful.

Just caught up on Uncanny and Gail Simone 💙💛 has created unique new characters for the X-Universe that have unseated some of my favourite characters of the last 35 years. Fantastic!

I really was hopeful the wrestling “ratings” talk would go away once RAW moved to Netflix. Sigh of course Dave dashes those hopes.

Was doing an interview for a friend’s Doctoral research on comics and graphic novels in the classroom and was asked my favourite current read. No hesitation, Gail Simone 💙💛 Uncanny X-men. The character work, the stories, a perfect place to jump in if you have left.

I hate to break it to you all but your fav Edu Celeb Principals share nice warm fuzzy ideas that are removed from the reality of teaching.

It is really wild to see provable lies told by leaders of countries and their supporters not only believe the lie but fight in the face of evidence. Very concerning.

You are not a bad teacher if you do not buy into the “you need to entertain” “would you buy tickets to your lesson” mentality. This idea that our classroom should be a party is ridiculous.

Your classroom does not need to be a party to be an effective teacher. It might sell books and earn you a following but focusing on the work of teaching is more important than being a circus performer.

I think the most hypocritical thing I see from some conservative voices on this app are the statements about the rising rate of homelessness. Hypocritical because if the government tries to address it those same voices condemn them for not being fiscally responsible. 🤷‍♂️
