At least 6500 migrant workers have died in #Qatar since it was awarded the #WorldCup.
@rerutled did the math. In a tournament with 64 matches total, 90mins per match:
At least 1 worker death for every single minute of match play.
That is why I am boycotting #WorldCup2022

.@SamanArbabi posts up to date content straight out of Iran. He’s literally a journalist. What’s going on, .@instagram?
@meta @instagram just suspended my account for doing absolutely nothing wrong other than posting videos of #IranProtests from across the world.
اینستاگرم همین الان اکانت منو ساسپند کرد درحالیکه من فقط ویدیوهای تظاهرات داخل و خارج از ایران رو میگذاشتم.

“Glory and power to girls–their rage, and their daring and their audacity, their immodesty and rebelliousness, their disobedience, and most of all: their knowledge that they deserve to be free.”
If girls are volcanoes, as Ursula K. Le Guin once said, what happens when they erupt?
TL:DR the patriarchy is FUCKED.
The longer version: is the subject of my new essay, which is dedicated to girls in Iran.

NEW!!! How to Bolster Students' Executive Function (the "Conductor of Cognitive Skills") | Brain Blast
#learning #edchat #engchat #elemchat #elachat #k12 #ukedchat #teacher #Principal #teacher #middlegrade
ALT Bolstering Executive Function Tips. Examples: USE PROJECT CHECKLISTS Check out http://pblchecklist.4teachers.org/checklist.shtml. (Source: 4Teachers.org, H/T Valeska Gioia) SET TIMERS Start with 10 minutes of focus at a time. POST THE CLASS/ACTIVITY SCHEDULE Place this info in a spot that is visible to all learners. (Source: Gina DiTullio for Edutopia) WHERE TO SIT Have students sit away from high-traffic areas, with their backs to windows, peers, and corridors. TASK TREE A task tree is a visual strategy that will give the student step-by-step instructions on what needs to be done at the beginning of each class. Each step is shown from left to right or top to bottom and includes a picture and an arrow that connects the pictures (and steps). Breaking down a complicated task into smaller steps is a great way to give students the extra support they need to be prepared and ready to learn. (Source: Jack Hans, N2Y) -Todd Finley

Australian academic Sean Turnell has been sentenced to 3 years in prison in #Myanmar, by a closed military court.
Remembering the message he sent, a year & 7 months ago, when he was being detained: “I am fine and strong, and not guilty of anything 🙂”.

The trial has been carried out in secret and what he has actually been accused of - under the official secrets act - remains a mystery. The only clue we have is from a source who said there was an allegation he had government documents.

I kept an open mind. I really did. But reading Judge Cannon’s ruling left my jaw on the floor in its absurdity. Unless the federalist society wants to argue that this precedent would only apply to trump, this ruling would demolish future white collar criminal investigations…

What you did was incredible. I've been an environmentalist for over 50 years, starting the same age as yourself. I have never seen that sort of impact and inspiration before in that half century. You gave young people a voice and the confidence to speak out. Thank you.

I started striking from school on August 20th 2018 ahead of the Swedish general election. It has now been 4 years since then, and a new election is on its way. We are still here, but the climate crisis is still absent from the debate. 1/4

All that news you're seeing about new weapons coming to Ukraine? They're significant. But they're not the whole story. In Donbas, soldiers described an extremely different picture, one where some units had suffered 50% losses and were constantly running out of ammunition.
