via @NYTimes I have loved the Indigo Girls for years. I never felt I was supposed to be part of a specific demographic to enjoy their music. I was among a few unaccompanied men at the first Lilith Fair. Good for them. nytimes.com/2023/07/24/art…

@levarburton You were both so important to my childhood. Thankful for you both! RIP Mr Rogers. Long live Levar Burton!!

I believe Fred was a Saint, an enlightened being! #bydhttmwfi

@PrincipalProj I’m all about listening sessions in which my only objective is to hear what is on stakeholders’ minds. Doing one tomorrow morning with parents in the garden at my school. No agenda other than to be present.

@dmkloker 🙌 Love this tip! What's one way you invite feedback from members of your school community?

Saw a meme that said the tagline from the #1 box office movie the day you were born determines your fate, and I love mine. “The most dangerous Bond. Ever. Living on the edge. It's the only way he lives.” -The Living Daylights, august 3 1987 What’s yours?

I challenge you to find a classroom teacher who was working in 2019, worked all through the pandemic, and is still working today Then tell them that "research says" their skills have taken a hit over the last four years Just see how that conversation goes for you

@EckertKathleen Since most principals have no say over compensation, we have to work to improve the staff culture and other working conditions

What can school leaders do to retain teachers? Please share your ideas and thoughts.

When my great grandchildren look to who was resisting this moment of inhumanity, I hope they read the dissents of Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson.

@_hoangpham And mine starts TK in a month!!! Where does the time go?!?

Very proud to be an Emeryville resident today. Bravo @JohnBauters

I no longer trust most Bay Area politicians who claim to be pro housing. S.F. halts project that would replace single-family house in Nob Hill with 10 homes sfchronicle.com/sf/article/s-f…

I realize there should be a colon or verb in that post. I blame summer brain.

Summer vacations by teachers a well earned and necessary recuperation.

“…to have legislation aimed at combating climate change in our lifetimes. Alas, he does not. But Gorsuch is the staunchest defender of tribal sovereignty and Native American rights perhaps in the history of the Supreme Court, and I choose to be thankful for that.”

“If women and Black people could get Neil Gorsuch to see them the same way he sees Native Americans, this whole country might be a better place. If the federal government could get Gorsuch to treat it with the same respect as he treats tribal governments, we might be allowed…
