Was just asked to host a land acknowledgment workshop by a University. I told them my fee & they replied that they were hoping I’d do it “pro bono.” It IRKS me when Universities or multi-million dollar businesses ask Indigenous people for free labor. Was the free land not enough?

I've been asking my male friends to do something - *watch if the first response to everything a woman tells you is to refute, say no or something negative* One texted me later: Holy f*ck The problem is, constantly putting up with unwarranted resistance is bad for mental health.

In Germany, teaching the Holocaust is mandatory. It includes visits to concentration camp, museums, etc. They don’t shy away from their own ugly history. Yet the kids aren’t damaged; they’re strengthened, matured, humbled. US needs to do same re slavery. Not that complicated.

24 days to get from referral to evaluation, and 60 more days to get from evaluation to treatment. Healthcare for mental illness should not take this long to get. 😥

Educators are dealing with immense pressure to go back to normal. But 2 little things keep getting in the way: 1) Normal wasn't really working. 2) We can't.

I'm going to be vulnerable and put this out into the universe, even if it's just for myself, because I am really, truly struggling: I was not trained for the kind of work being a teacher requires right now, and I don't know what to do about that. Thread: (1/n) 🧵

327 new cases in a day, and still @GovPhilScott refuses to mandate masks in public or restrictions on out-of-state tourists. And it's our kids who are suffering most.

My call to @GovPhilScott took 3 minutes, and I was able to share how Scott's negligence contributed to the outbreak of COVID in my daughter's 2nd grade classroom. Schools need real support from the state so we can protect our kids and educators! #vted #vtkidsfirst #RedforEd
