Okay, I can’t find the Weather Window pics on the Global News site, so either they didn’t do one for this week, or I missed it somehow.
Never fear, Fig Jam and Lime Cordial has a nice blog up on the birds in Australia.
Enjoy.
We have to fix it
This from Fred Klonsky’s blog.
Very powerful. People have the power to change things.
Protesting lack of concern for missing First Nations women
The Tyendinaga Mohawks of Canada are protesting the lack of action on the part of the authorities for the missing and murdered First Nations women. It has been decades of inaction for these cases.
About…
Okay, I’ve had some folks clicking on the “About” page, so I thought I’d oblige a little peek into the blogger behind Dolphin….
Bullying Chicago Teachers, via Byrd-Bennett
Fred Klonsky has this up on the heavy handed Barbara Byrd-Bennett.
We must plan for the event that some teachers will be insubordinate and refuse to administer the test. If the teacher regularly assigned to the classroom has refused that assignment, another teacher or an administrator should be assigned to administer the test. The teacher who has refused the assignment should be given the option of going home without pay on all testing days or supervising the students who are not taking the test in silent reading activities. If there are special concerns about a teacher’s conduct, principals should immediately consult with their Talent Generalist at 773-535-2800.

This is just unreal. This reads like a handbook for Nazi Germany and Hitler. What’s next…the police called in to administer the tests?!
It’s Cloud Illusions I Recall…
I really don’t know clouds at all…
(from Joni Mitchell’s Both Sides Now)
City Jackdaw inspired this with his post.
You can still see with the imagination…as long as those aren’t chemtrail clouds**, which invariably are shapeless flat expanses… that you really should not be under after sprayed…your health depends on it.
**brought to you buy Bill Gates and his two, count that, two, scientists who have all knowledge of all the universe to control weather and kill us in the meantime….
Creating fear
Jules has this up on the insanity of the Stand Your Ground, brought to you by ALEC and the Koch brothers, members of the John Birch Society.
Oh, and Jules, Indiana is right behind Florida, so don’t feel bad….
CPS Professional Development
Yes, folks, this is where your hard earned tax dollars are going to…not to teachers’ salaries or the unions like the education profiteers would like you to think….
Good Grief. I have no words.
Wait…yes, yes I do…how many people in this room would like to get up and walk out?
How many?
How many?
Note
**just wanted to note that I added some important information to the “let’s move” post below.
Chicago Teachers Union Strike: A Report
Jan Resseger has a blog up on the report of the Chicago Teachers Union strike in September 2012. This, my friends, is what a democratically run union looks like. Other unions TAKE HEED.
The teacher’s and counselor’s passion is evident in this report. They care about these kids and what the profiteers are doing to them. Note how the police, fire, parents, and community stepped up and supported them. Good for them.
