On the Untimely Death of Twitter
It’s hard not to see what is going on at Twitter as “the end.” However, I suspect that we will all still be on it a year from now. But it reminds me of what my buddy Mickey has said about owning your own content. The idea is simple. Publish your content on your platform…

2021 was a great year for music—here are 10 of my favorite albums.
It is that time of year when dozens of music lovers patiently wait for me to draw up my list of my favorite albums of the year. And last year, I didn’t even write a proper post. Notice that I don’t say best albums because—I’m not a music critic—and even if I was, my taste…

You can’t be best friends with everyone.
I ran across this tweet in my feed a few days ago. Now clearly, this was a whiteboard in a classroom, I don’t know for which level, but it made me think of a couple of things. First, my mom used to tell me when I was growing up that you couldn’t have too many…

Oh, the irony.
Here I made a big deal about writing every day and what happened? I haven’t blogged on here since May. I doubt you feel sorry for me. And you shouldn’t. So today, all I am trying is to build a little momentum. I started this thing a few months ago called #Tweet100. Started by creative…

What Writing Every Day Means to Me
I am so glad that I live in a time where I don’t have to use a typewriter. Vague memories of an electric typewriter (that was forbidden to touch) in my grandparent’s house fill my brain — not to mention the volume of when it was running. Fortunately, I do all of my writing on…

6 Vegan Dishes My Family Loved
Full disclosure, we’ve been eating mostly vegan for the last month because our family was doing a Daniel Fast. In conjunction with the Factory Church in Woodstock, GA, we fasted 21 days and used the daily readings that the church provided to help guide our spiritual practice. One of the things that I have always…

Writing What I Want
I’m taking the advice of my friend Mickey. If anything, the events of the last few months after the election proved to me that the more you control the content you produce, the better. Which got me thinking, “I should finally dust off my personal blog and start writing what I want to write about.”…

2020 sucked. Here is some music that didn’t.
Normally, I am more on time with this post. But it has been quite a year, and I’m not quite done blaming things on it. Here is my Facebook post that I made with my favorite music of 2020. Enjoy. Photo by Valentino Funghi on Unsplash

Reopening Schools for Students With Disabilities: Everything You Need to Know
Few educators thought, when they left their school buildings in mid-March of 2020, that they wouldn’t step back in until the summer. Now, with the number of cases of Covid-19 rising in the United States, the debate rages on about whether to open schools for in-person learning. For months, students have been in lockdown at home, with…

How Special Education Works in Private Schools
I didn’t even know what special education was until I took a psychology course in my last semester of college. If there were students with disabilities in my classes at the private Christian K-12 school that I attended, I wasn’t aware of them. There were maybe one or two students with noticeable learning differences, but it’s easy…
