The ADHD urge to think “there’s a better way to do this” and feel compelled to figure out that new way immediately, no matter how long it takes.

Never underestimate a cycle breaker. Not only did they face years of generational trauma, but they stood in the face of that trauma and said “This ends with me.” This is brave. This is powerful. This comes at a significant cost. Never underestimate a cycle breaker.

It's often said: White kids, upon being taught the history of racism, will feel guilty or bad about being White. In fact, White kids who receive antiracist history lessons exhibit fewer racist ideas about Black people while their attitudes about White people are unaffected.

Congratulations to Emmanuel Ramos of Central Falls, RI - this year's Darcy E. Richie Teacher Courage Award recipient! In honor of Darcy Elaine Richie, we are happy to bestow this $10,000 award to Mr. Ramos for his demonstrated courage and excellence in equity-rooted education.

The ADHD urge to start working on new interesting things when I get overwhelmed by my current commitments . . . thus doubling the amount of work I need to do.

This might be my favorite ADHD tweet of all time. I love thinking of the extra thoughts in my brain symphony as "bonus content" (it's a great reframe of an ADHD trait that's often labelled as a negative).
