Copies of Teaching for a #LivingDemocracy are about to be (temporarily) sold out on Amazon. Another good reason to get it from @TCPress or your local independent bookstore! Hoping that reading about students doing profound things will help some educators during this *&!!* year

Hello @diigo? Are you there? Site has been down all day.

@diigo Are you still supporting your product? Clicking on tags in my account hasn't worked for nearly a week. I have used Diigo in my classroom for years but may need to make a change if there is no tech support.

@TimothyMBoyle @HFTRR Sounds amazing.

@WeiChen_wc See you there!

I really encourage you to come this Sunday to ask Councilmember Squilla your unanswered questions about the proposed new Sixers arena. Philly deserves to have a say in developments that will permanently impact our city. #powerinterfaith #noarenainchinatown

@powerinterfaith Looking forward to this! (The flyer accidentally says Saturday - isn’t the event on Sunday?)

SLA 11th Graders became Modern Day de Tocquevilles! Learn about the true state of Democracy in America, watch videos of student-written plays, and more. Their insights and creativity are something to behold! buff.ly/43ibFic

@seecantrill @writingproject Yes, for sure! And thanks!

@jhblock I hope its okay to share these at the #NWP Teacher Studio (studio.nwp.org)! They are lovely. Thanks for sharing them Josh and all you 11th graders. Nicely done. @writingproject #writenow #connectedlearning

A little Friday joy from young people in Philly: SLA 11th Graders created "Songs of Ourselves." This extraordinary collection of Field Notes includes Awareness Notes, Gender Notes, Subway Notes and so much more! #phled #sla sites.google.com/scienceleaders…

Neighbor hit by a car at 48th and Kingsessing where there is no crosswalk painted and no traffic calming. Been a dangerous spot for years. Totally preventable. ⁦@CouncilmemberJG⁩ ⁦@PhillyOTIS⁩ #westphilly

@FreeLibrary @Kanopy This is great. A wonderful resource for people.

The Free Library is pleased to announce the return of @Kanopy, the popular on-demand video streaming service! Kanopy PLUS, including Kanopy Kids, is now available at no cost with your Free Library of Philadelphia library card: ow.ly/yqsc50MsHlm

@phillydesign @bcgp @PennDOTNews @PhilaStreets @PhillyOTIS Yes! Same experience for me (every time).

@bcgp @PennDOTNews @PhilaStreets @PhillyOTIS It's great! Except when the lane behind the PPSB is filled with police cars (aka every time I've been on it)

Happy Holidays! Awesome to ride on the new 15th St. protected bike lane from Vine to Arch. Can't wait for the other sections to get protected soon. Thanks for the early present!! @PennDOTNews District 6, @PhilaStreets @PhillyOTIS

@scmaestra @LadyOfSardines Sounds really great! Are you open to sharing? This started my planning wheels turning!

@mbteach @dogukanect @spencerideas Lynda Barry books!

@dogukanect @spencerideas got any leads?

@losangelista Thinking of you and hoping you continue to feel better. Sounds really challenging.

Covid Update: Still alive. I got my fever down to 99.9 with meds! First day out of the 100s. My throat feels like I swallowed glass. I have extreme fatigue still. But less dizzy and it doesn’t hurt quite as much to turn over in bed. Progress. Please be careful y’all. Please.
