normalize carrying a book on outings so that you can enjoy a few minutes of reading during idle moments on the train or walking up the street or whenever you wish to escape into another world for a minute or two.

It's incredibly depressing to go back and look at old articles about Jan. 6.
Over and over people in power were warned: a coup without consequences is a trial run. "But not here," they said. "He's finished. Everyone will remember."

Natalie Cline attacked schools, doxxed teachers, spied on teacher training, accused us of "grooming children" for sex trafficking and got away with all of it. Attacking a child was a bridge too far. See @UTBoardofEd bylaws. Report her. Consequences in last 📸. #utpol #uted

Call To Action: Tell your Rep to Vote No on HB 285
Today at 2pm the House Business and Labor Committee will be hearing HB 285 an anti-union bill. HB 285 places unnecessary regulations on labor unions and interferes in how workers use their paychecks.

$400K home needs $80,000 down payment and roughly $2400 monthly payment. That means a take home salary of roughly $10k/month. Who makes $150k a year just "starting out"? Starter homes should be affordable on the median income ($32k individual/$75k family in Utah). So <= $200k.

During the 2023 Utah Legislative Session, 268 education bill were introduced. Of the 268 bills introduced, 164 bills passed (61%). The 164 bills created 39 new USBE rules, 10 new programs, and 9 new LEA reports. This is not sustainable. #USSA

Public School accountability exists through local governance
School Board Members
…are elected officials
…hire the superintendent
…approve the budget
…hire the external auditor
…monitor student progress
Private & charter schools have no accountability to taxpayers

Too often, we give far less grace to our students than we do to colleagues, friends, or adult family members.

You might not feel like it in the moment right now, but you have value and you are worthy of love and kindness. Don’t forget it. The Whale said so.

The best graphic organizers start with a blank sheet of paper.
The goal isn't a perfectly filled-in graphic but organized thinking.
