My hot take is that in NYC, it was cooler to watch everyone gathered together on the street for the eclipse than it was to see the eclipse itself in partial totality.

I'm going to assume the fault lines heard the Ethel Cain/Robyn mashup and just needed to move.

friends do save you. over and over again. i love my friends. i’d be no one without my girls

Your employer should give you a recess break if it is 60 degrees or warmer

I hate being called 'dad' or 'cat dad' at the vet. Please stop. My cat is a cool dude. He is not my son. I am not his father. He is an animal.

I learned to crochet over the holidays and now I'm debating if I should attempt a temperature blanet but instead of temperature it's just New York Metro Weather daily vibe ratings.

The best part about summer WFH is I can go into my freezer and have a little popsicle treat whenever I want.

The weekend is here. Time to stay in my trashcan and do nothing.

Hi please let me train you 😌

Hi everybody <3

My work has had me thinking nonstop about LLMs, OpenAI, ChatGPT, and what this new era of generative AI means for teachers.

I might unravel this into a thread later, but for now, here's a link to my first draft ideas: medium.com/@jolson_codes/…

Concept: a year-long research course for high schoolers but every unit is just learning to use a different resource. Like unit 1 is just 'How to Google And Be Really Good At It' for a few months.

Y'all I gotta brag, we are registering for ICM 2.0 JS and ICM 2.0 PY course PD *and* our new Intermediate JS course, Interactive Web, which is super cool and developed by our friends at @GiantMachines Jeff Olson NYC teachers, don't miss out!

✨Now with two new versions of the Introduction to Computational Media high school course! Say hi to ICM JS and ICM PY!✨Ask your principal to sign up today! p5xjs Processing qrtny 💁🏻‍♀️💻🔮

I wish more people understood the insane amount of decision fatigue that all teachers have from teaching. It took me a year+ being out of the classroom to not feel exhausted/stressed by making choices in my normal life.

My senior year drawing professor made us each do a retrospective where we had to gather all art/related things from toddler to present and display it in a room and then everyone in our cohort looked at everything and critiqued it while we sat there.

I teach teenage girls.

I know I’m going to heaven, y’all.
