A stunning view over Worthy Farm tonight as Pulp lit up the Pyramid Stage with Common People — a perfect Glastonbury moment from high above the festival fields... 🛩️🎪✨

Happy pride month! 🏳️🌈
Pride is about not just persisting, but taking life back from the fringes of society, thriving in spite of adversity. It isn't vanity; It's solidarity and defiance.
Sometimes protest, sometimes celebration, however the political pendulum swings, we remain.

Once met a British oil exec in Lagos. The day before, he’d been to a disastrous party at a top minister’s house. The invitation said ‘Fancy dress compulsory’. He had no fancy dress, but was an enthusiastic scuba diver and by chance had his gear with him. He dressed up, took a cab to the house, rather surprising the driver, squelched up the drive in wet-suit, mask & fins, climbed the steps, and found himself in the midst of the party. All the men were wearing dinner jackets, since in Nigeria ‘fancy dress’ means ‘black tie’. He fled back down the drive and understandably had problems getting a cab to take him back to his hotel.

10 years ago Barak Rosenshine published one of the most useful reviews of research into effective teaching ever written. It's a slam-dunk hit in the UK, but barely talked about in the USA. If you're a USA educator that has never heard of it, here it is: aft.org/periodical/american-…

I vividly recall being in a computer lab at Bham, on a Vax terminal, when someone came down from the PC lab and said, you've got to see this ....

This animation shows 14 false-color images of the Padma river in Bangladesh over the course of 30 years, between 1988 and 2018, and shows the continuous evolution of meanders that water and time generate in the environment close to a river [read more: buff.ly/2B9DBMz]

A "fog dome" is a very unusual and rare weather phenomenon. The most likely explanation is that it's caused by a source of heat close to the ground, possibly an agricultural building or a relatively warm pool of water. This one has been spotted in 2016 ow.ly/zRe130oHEAy

🔥Heat wave in Antarctica, +38 °C (+68 °F) above normal.
That's not an error, or a typo.
The remote research station at Dome C recorded a temperature nearly 40 °C above normal for this time of year, beating the previous March record by a startling 20 °C.

Inspired by this idea from @LauraClaire_C to explicitly develop language agreements with her students. Such a powerful way to promote diversity and an inclusive community. @ISLuxembourg

We can denounce the Sept 11th attacks on America and stand up against Islamophobia. Check out these resources from @ZinnEdProject to challenge hateful ideology and promote intercultural understanding.
#WeWillNeverForget
The U.S. gov't. response to 9/11 attacks was war in Afghanistan, followed by invasion of Iraq — and, domestically, an explosion of Islamophobia. Here are lessons to challenge Islamophobia, including part two of the Whose Terrorism lesson above.

As an adult I’ve learned to accept that the clothes I find comfortable are usually labeled “Men’s”. But when I was a student it was a brutal reminder that I didn’t fit in the right box. I battled for the right to wear pants to school (1993). Why we still here? #queer_educhat
