It's done. 13 years after the Celtics traded Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett to Brooklyn for players and 1st round picks, those first two picks are now both top 10 scorers in franchise history.

@TreeHouseBrewCo Indeed! The first time I had this out of a growler shared with friends was nothing short of a transcendent experience. It might be my favorite beer of all time.

Lights Out is Pale Ale heaven. Originally brewed to celebrate a transient time in our history, when one Monson brewery closed and another opened, this beer seems to defy logic in its easy-going sessionability and its hop-saturated character. It's proof that you can have your cake and eat it too. Get it!

The only thing that's real is this very moment. Present Moment once again knocks us off our feet with its unique tropical aromas. Galaxy, Australian Cascade, and a lively blend of American hops capture our attention from the first sip to the last.

@TreeHouseBrewCo Huge fan of your pale ales and with respect to the GOAT, Lights On, I think this was one of the best ones you’ve ever made. So glad it’s back!

Magic in the Sky is back in our sights from its celestial orbit. A hidden gem from the spring of 2024, this Pale Ale combines hops from some of our favorite growers from New Zealand: Garston Farms, Freestyle Hops, and Eggers Hops. Its glowing deep yellow color and frothy head erupt with notes of passion fruit, pineapple, and fresh OJ. It's everything you've come to expect from us: super hoppy and super drinkable. Don't forget to look up and marvel at the wonders above you.

Brace for screaming: AVERAGING GRADES IS THE FOUNDATION OF INEQUITABLE AND INACCURATE GRADING PRACTICES THAT REQUIRE “EQUITY” BANDAIDS WITH UNINTENDED AND OFTEN NEGATIVE SIDE EFFECTS TO FIX. Rant over.

@flyingmonkey13 That's fantastic. We need great people in these roles. If you ever want to move to bucolic Western Massachusetts, I know some excellent school districts that would benefit from your leadership!

I’m actually having more fun avoiding saying its name (and reading your feedback) than just saying it and hearing the snickers. 😁

@CarlAzuz "this one" is a great way to dodge two completely uncomfortable pronunciations 😂

Anybody noticing that indenting paragraphs has become an *editing* step and not something kids do as they write? Even some of the stronger writers are like, “Oh imma do it latter.” (and they forget - or do it haphazardly.) It’s just hitting one key. It’s no extra effort. Why?

Ok. Get an informal observation last week. Get a big list of all the things we did wrong Monday morning. Took my Monday prep for coverage. Gave us more to do at our Monday after school meeting. Checked up on us again during Tues most difficult class to see if we used the list

@arenella1 I'm surprised Musk allowed this to be published on his propaganda platform. This site - which used to be a wonderful source of connection and collaboration - has become a real dumpster fire. With that being said, I appreciate your patriotism and willingness to share.

I just got off the phone with a life-long Brit friend who works for their intelligence service. The Brits and the Israelis both believe Trump is doing Putin's bidding as his absurd cabinet appointments are all hostile to the agencies they might be heading. My friend concluded our

@coachcullen411 Thanks, Kevin. I've really just dabbled in Bluesky. Haven't had the time to recreate myself over there. I actually created a profile 2 years ago but forgot about it. I primarily use Twitter to participate in the #bfc530 chat, and plan to continue to do so, regardless of platform.

@heymrsbond The best PD I've ever had was led by fellow teachers at the old New England Association of English Teachers conferences. In particular, sessions on poetry slam, speaking skills, debate, writing portfolios, short stories, and analysis stand out. Focused and content specific!

Now that schools are going phone-free, we have to ask about the computers and tablets kids are given in schools. Do they help, or distract? We're starting a series on ed tech at AfterBabel.com. Jared Cooney Horvath says: They distract. afterbabel.com/p/the-edtech-r…
