Excited??? I am!!!

OneNote Avenger spotted at #ATIA2022 !!!!

The Hackathon that keeps giving and giving and giving!!! #ATIA2022 Thanks to @MicrosoftEDU and @OneNoteEDU for paving the way for all of the great assistive and accessibility that have come from this.

What’s your first run average when using Editor in MSword?? #ATIA2022 @rachelmberger just transformed her document with grammar, punctuation, spelling and writing style checks all natively built into Microsoft Word.

@gtconway3d @soledadobrien Are they untruths? We all filter experience through a lens of previously lived experiences. Someone could say their actions were not racially motivated— but how is that proven? I could say someone’s actions are- how would we prove that?

Untruths, no matter how much they are "deeply felt" to reflect a "sense of personal truth," remain untrue.

@powellnyt An investigative report does not equal full truth in the same manner that an accusation does not equal full truth. The sad part is that it took an accusation to put programs in to place that should have been there anyway.

Inside a Battle Over Race, Class and Power at Smith College. Tension between a student’s deeply felt sense of personal truth and facts that are at odds with it. My story: nytimes.com/2021/02/24/us/…

@birdsivu @MaTTFLaMMaBLe @PaulBegala How do you help lend a hand in a situation like this? Youth and health are a blessing and asset in many situations— I’m not sure how far they go to generating power, heat or water.

@MaTTFLaMMaBLe @PaulBegala While many are hating on this guy, he is right in so many levels. I believe we have to step up and take care of a lot ourselves. Older folk need to be helped first by their younger family members and the neighbors who are able to help lend a hand. It is actually biblical.

The mayor of Colorado City, Texas. Good God. @PaulBegala

@jackieaina Everybody is called to live their own journey. My Christian journey is about holiness, modesty and purity. MINE. I don’t judge, condemn or cancel anyone who’s is different— I celebrate them in however they express themselves while I celebrate myself in how I express myself 😊

@blocht574 More than anything this has shown me the need for greater mental and emotional health supports for students and family— outside of schools.

Unpopular opinion: if students mental health relied on sports alone our society needs to change the emphasis on sports. Love what sports do for my kids but they aren’t everything

@blocht574 This opinion is popular with me.

@SethDillon #1- she didn’t call on the people to do anything. #2- not sure which election she’s referencing— but if it was the 2016 Presidential one... there has been actual proof (not just affidavits and statements) that there was election interference and still... Hillary got more votes.

Why isn’t her account permanently suspended, @jack?

@TheBrandonMorse I was able to find the definition you cited on Pediaa.com but could you point me to which dictionary— I’m always here for learning moments.

@SMithEducates All good. I'd define it as what it is. The hatred or prejudice of a specific race, or the belief in the superiority of one race over another. As to its origin, it's what racism has been defined as for decades in everything from the dictionary to common sense.

We're never going to get anywhere in the racial conversation if racists like this keep getting listened to. They don't want peace or conversation, they want to hate.

@The_Cambo @emzanotti The same to you 😊

@SMithEducates @emzanotti Fair enough. Hope you have a blessed day 🙂

@The_Cambo @emzanotti Never said I was holding it against her. Simply stated that she had a cover opportunity. Beauty is subjective— would never take away that she is beautiful to many— to some the most beautiful First Lady— to others possibly not.

@SMithEducates @emzanotti Yeah, when was that? 20+ years ago? But yeah, hold it against her that she’s beautiful and modeled in the past. She is without a doubt our most attractive First Lady ever.

@TheBrandonMorse Apologies— deleted my last tweet due to spelling errors. Thanks for identifying where you do not feel the definition should come from. What definition do you ascribe to? and where does it come from?

@SMithEducates Not activists with agendas.

@TheBrandonMorse So. What is your definition and where does it come from?

@SMithEducates I'm gonna save us both time and just let you know that the university definition put forward by social justice advocates is not the definition of racism and that power structures don't actually play a part. Racial hate and bigotry is just that.
