Today's #poembox #poetry "Missives of Misery" https://jgregorymcverry.com/mypoetry#audiopoems finding such hope bleeding through pains of broken reality. We all need to pick at scabs festering on humanity.#writingcommunkity
Eyes wrenching in pain sprayed by lies of a Tyrant's Hubris. Truth emerges as a Hero of Swann Street spreads wings feathered in humanity wrapping stings of pain in visions of hope #smallpoems
stomping missives of misery laundered on pains of painted hands clocks turning time and time again Not Forgotten they fester as nightmares in light for little ones who lack the luxury to forget #smallpoems

@dogtrax @100% I was too harsh...and it was great advice, just not advice for all children....and teaching to only one narrative got us here, we can't forget schools roles in racial violence as tools of assimilation.
And filing issues even better, a PR is bestest, but other ways to get involved. Can donate to the Open Collective, do out reach, test accessibility features (looking at you alt text), promote the platform among activists
@Hypepraise Hard for palaces of oppression and assimilation to be places of restorative justice but whatschools need not so much fidelity but believing in doing the actual work. otherwise just another "morning meeting" #edtechchat
Get comfortable with idea that some stories aren't yours, some truths you can never know, own up when you do stupid stuff (and you will) when doing the anti-racist work we first need and then build out to society. #edtechchat
@mshutchi thought Terrence Floyd prayer vigil quite positive and moving moment. Need to elevate the heroes whose voices get infringed upon, people, poets, artists, emcees doing this work, Get community into classroom. #edtechchat
"modeling methods to share and support cultural change?" post the links of you reflecting on doing the work that needs to be done, elevate the voices, model listening not "yes, buts" or "glory snatching" #edtechchat
@Hypepraise the freaking Robert E Lee page on @wikipedia calls him a "paternalistic master"...has an entire "lost cause" section about Lee's troubled views on slavery.....total BS. history gets erased every day #edtechchat
@Hypepraise YesI went my whole life. just starting to learn about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ida_B._Wells You think Texas textbooks in the 1980s mentioned here...doubt it...but if we check all the history indexes I doubt she makes it #edtecchat
students are coming to terms with truth that by being black or brown they are not safe and can be killed when interacting with law enforcement. Can't have equitable access if you get choked to death on way to library #edtechchat
teacher can't use computer to check email let alone do instructional design work we need to ask, "Why are you still employed? How are you not fired?" Web is almost three decades old....not enough PD is a crappy excuse #edtechchat
A2 Broken record, but you need to find out if municipal wifi is illegal in your state, if so fight those laws, you need to engage in efforts "to take back the poles" https://www.hartfordbusiness.com/article/ct-municipalities-hail-broadband-legal-victory #edtechchat
