SCOTUS overturns Roe v Wade

I don’t know what to say. I’m not surprised, nobody should be surprised. But wow am I angry. It’s the stupidest problem in the world to have – a country of 330 million people has chosen the worst fucking idiots in the world to lead and make decisions. Ah, fuck it. I’ll write more later.

Facebook’s not the monster

I’ve just listened to the NPR Politics Podcast coverage of Laurie Haugin, the whistleblower who was formerly a product manager at Facebook and who released thousands of documents to the media and congress, documents that she says show Facebook is aware of the damaging nature of the choices they make and choose to continue harming

Once a Week

That’s not so bad. Once a week, that’s all it takes. I can commit to that. Sure. And I’m not like telling anybody about it, so there’s no weird psychological trick that convinces me I’ve already accomplished something and keeps me from doing it. “Hey everybody, I’m gonna write a blog post once a week!”

Laid Off

It’s been years since I wrote a post, so let’s catch up. I finished off my career as a teacher in May, 2019 after a final year at Bruce Randolph School, this time as a 7th grade science teacher. I had been ready to change careers for a long time, and in the Spring of 2019 I

DCTA Talks LEAP By Bill Weisberger   Sitting in the Sandoval Room at North High School on Monday night, I was nearly brought to tears multiple times by the stories teachers told about the damaging effects of LEAP teacher evaluations in DPS.

Without Warning, Two Community Parents Deported Last Week

By Bill Weisberger, January 23, 2017 On Thursday this past week a student ducked into my room 10 minutes before the morning bell and asked if he could just sit for a while. I said sure, no problem, but when I actually looked up to see his face I realized that he had been crying. It took me asking him one time

Yes We Can

By Bill Weisberger – January 10, 2017 Barack Obama gave his farewell address to the nation tonight. It was a call to action, and it was a tearjerker at times. I would have been emotional seeing Obama leave regardless, but the fact that Donald Trump will be taking his place is what really kills me. In fact,
