Hi everyone.
I'm an elementary teacher in Brampton, Ontario. I'd love to find great educators to follow. Suggestions appreciated.
Considering leaving Twitter...

The biggest adjustment that most people have to make here is realising that there is no void to throw thoughts, art, ideas, music, scream into here... its a conversation, a community ❤️

Just two more things to grade, and I’m finished for the summer. Summer break: when I only have to work one essential job, not two. I’ll miss the students. I do every year.
Where are my fellow ?

Thanks for supporting the site, and we're happy to have new users, but everyone needs to understand that this isn't Twitter, and they're not going to be able to import Twitter behavior here.

They need to especially understand that cheering on Twitter about thinking they'd crashed the site WE PAY FOR is NEVER going to fly with ANYONE here.

To all of the workers in the world toiling day and night to make a better future; to all those who came before us making it possible for us to have a better life today…Happy

Using hashtags is a good way to find interesting posts.

You can search for them and use them in your posts.

You can also pin a hashtag in a column.

To get started, @realDDGlover has a list of popular hashtags pinned in her profile. Have a look!

Had an interesting talk with the folks at the Ombudsman's Office of Ontario re my complaint against school boards on behalf of children with disabilities who are being denied a safe and equal education because of the removal of masks and other Covid protections. Has anyone else gone through this process with the Ombudsman's Office?

If you told 26 year old me, one day I’d be on a video call with my then new born’s cat…I would not have believed you

New folks

All the 501, 502, and other interruptions.
This place is run by one guy, typing fast as he can.
Updating the system.
Have some patients.
It will settle down.

You would NOT believe the heroic effort it took to keep this site up today.

Ya know that feeling when you throw a party, expecting just a few friends...... and some how the word gets out you have live music, and the whole city shows up !

Folks. Please be yourself here. A lot of you are new kids on the block and we sure do understand the hesitation and questions about etiquette and sharing and boosting and all the technical stuff.

Just relax, push buttons, click posts, engage, laugh and enjoy this great place. If on the off chance you do something “wrong” who cares? If it’s necessary, one of us will speak up to help or correct or give you a heads up.

I just feel some tension here and want to say…breathe and have fun. K? 💜
