No prestige quite like the attention that kids bestow motivated by play & joy. Whether as strangers they smile across the aisle in the supermarket; wave while we are in line at the restaurant, to show me they've got (iPhone) game/muscle; yell up the street "I like your bike." 🫠
"Would I say this to a white male hedge fund manager?" can be a litmus test of how all genders can respect a woman. The arrogance of Trump is alive & well in the throat of each American who doles out platitudes or unsolicited advice esp. proud self-labeled progressives/liberals.
Show solidarity: 1) show up at the Diag; 2) send funds via givebutter.com/h2NTYZ or Venmo (SafeUmich); 3) write a letter of support via tinyurl.com/UMCampZap ; and 4) follow and amplify @TAHRIRumich @SAFEumich and @JVPumich
And imagine being buzzed by several-ton speeding F-150s? Beyond nightmare. Each time I cycle across vast Gratiot I know I may not survive. Drivers bust though reds and turn fast w/ zero regard for person in "their" path. Cycling in Detroit MAGNITUDES worse than NY pre-bike lanes.

“While current cost burden rates are just below the all-time high, the lowest-income renters are faring worse than ever.” buff.ly/3xjEtLT By @Harvard_JCHS’ @airbrycki
“It is stressful, even when you’re not the one being evicted, seeing your neighbors’ and friends’ stuff on the curb — baby beds, toys — and knowing they might have nowhere to go, and that you might be next.” buff.ly/4ad3Q0O
I know I'm a few hundred years late on this... Kim Wexler played by @rheaseehorn in "Better Call Saul" shines so v. bright. Her character is one of the few I can think of in popular US tv and film that speaks AND stands strong, does not weaken at knees nor brain to confines. ⚡️
If I had a penny for every platitude people in privilege dole out. Like there's no tomorrow. Is toxic positivity not passé or people in privilege forgot that too from the pandemic? It is so bad coming from both directions: East Coast, West Coast. #MentalHealth #SpareMePlease
Most state/local news has only reported the "what" and "when" not the "how" or "why" on Michigan removing thousands of residents from Medicaid. And media framing problem as "N people lost coverage" is erroneous verbiage; the government bureaucracy removed people from coverage.

On tax day, tell Congress to stop using our tax dollars to fund genocide. Urge your members of Congress to halt military aid to Israel and work toward a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
Hello, Twittersphere. I'm seeking data on American HS #educators' social media habits that do not involve teaching (e.g. peer communities, "influencers," & personal use). Do you have anecdotal or bigger-picture insight via friends, colleagues, or industry association references?

Is it a shell game, or musical chairs, or something else? My guess is some folks will show up to Detroit City Council in the coming years asking for hundreds of millions more to renovate the RenCen and the cycle will continue- expecting the public to pay for private gain.
Shifting workers from the RenCen to Hudson's Detroit means the project is unlikely to meet promises of job creation and tax growth that helped justify a large public subsidy. bridgedetroit.com/net-loser-gilb…
