#ClearTheAir was born after an extended moment of despair and frustration. I spent 2016 nightmarishly watching the most of #EduTwitter ignore what was happening nationally. Only a few of us were regularly speaking out or talking explicitly about racism generally and in edu. 1/
I was really sad about the world and our profession falling short at such a critical time. I wanted and needed to connect with other people who were feeling the same way. And it was about 7:30 a.m. when I sent a tweet out asking a few folks to meet me that night. #ClearTheAir 2/
Who does a Twitter chat about racism on #NewYearsEveEve ?!?!?
I'm getting emotional right now and feeling so appreciative of the people who showed up and kept showing up. #ClearTheAir 3/

@nytimes published a story about a man who murdered his wife who had Alzheimer's and then killed himself. The author of the article characterized the piece as a "love story" in a tweet. 1/5

The content of the tweet angered me. I have a personal rule against reading articles like this because they upset me so much, but I decided to read the full article to see if the tweet was just poorly written due to character limits and a desire to go viral. 2/5
The tweet was an accurate representation of the author's opinions, and the article included no discussion of rates of fillicide or matricide of disabled people, advocacy to change these trends, or even a basic discussion of Alzheimer's statistics. 3/5
