TweetDeck : Working on a new book about teachers and how their time is structured...
...and reading the research literature on time use...
...and basically, it is *wild* what we ask teachers to do, day after day, week after week.

Twitter Web App : Welp, I guess this is the weekend I get in trouble again for tweeting about #FreePalestine and the atrocities of the Israeli government. Do not look away. This is a genocidal government, attempting to wipe out Palestinians.
Twitter for Android : The war & genocide of Gazans goes beyond the bombs dropped on civilians in densely populated areas during Israel's offensive missions. The war & genocide are perpetual, relentless & manifest themselves in every aspect of Palestinian society.
