BREAKING: Coalition Sues to Protect the National Science Foundation from Trump and DOGE Assault
We’re suing on behalf of educators, researchers, professors, and graduate students to stop the latest effort by the Trump administration to weaponize federal funding to push their anti-equity agenda. 🧵
NIH funding is HUUUUGEEE here in NC.
I'm trying this site again. Former rural and low income student and teacher -> educational psychologist studying inequity in K-12 & higher Ed, typically around race, ethnicity, class, gender, disability.
Cat / human mom, lover of food and books (mostly thriller, mystery, and "literary" fiction) 👋
A class action suit against academic publishers
I’m the new chair of the publication committee for the American Sociological Association, whose operating budget is heavily subsidized by Sage in return for Sage profiting off our journals, & we must confront this

Oh neat! Hope I'm in a cool starter pack :)
30-40 people followed me in the past 2 days. Why?? I haven't posted here since AERA. How does this site work??
We’re thrilled to be presenting to fellow education researchers, scholars, and practitioners at #AERA24. We hope to see you in our sessions on Saturday! #FHI360US More info at linktr.ee/fhiataera
(or c obv too) I am very excited for this. Have been tempted to start a TikTok specifically for the same topic
If you pick A, please let me know if you ever need a guest contributor! My husband and bff are teachers in separate districts so at least twice a week I want to burn it all down (even more so than when I left the classroom to get my PhD in 2015)
Oh good
Daycare is more than my mortgage.
Yes, really.
And I'm one of the few millennials who got into the housing market and found daycare. Most aren't so lucky.

Nowhere I go are people wearing masks. They've given up on it despite COVID being back up at the top in terms of infection rates.
Sure, you might be fine because you're vaccinated, but my infant won't be! No care for our neighbor anymore.

The company that made the new RSV vaccine for babies didn't make enough so now it's like parents have to engage in Hunger Games-esque battle for the small supply.
Why is infant health supported by one company? Why don't we have a nationwide vaccine rollout?

Wow well they lost this future business! I don't think I could have remained composed
We have to keep dog pee pads in our diaper bag because there are often no surfaces besides the floor where we can change her.
Often these don't have hooks to hang your purse or diaper bag so you can get even more bathroom shoe germs.

Follow along as I give examples of how existing is so much harder than it needs to be here.
Starting us off, why don't all bathrooms have a changing table?
Why aren't there separate feeding rooms?
We need baby stations like in Japan!

Even giving them the benefit of the doubt on the difficulty of getting any national policy accomplished, there would be millions more daily actions showing they cared.
But no. Our society hates children and their parents. I heard this before having a kid but now I see the proof everywhere...

America is not pro-life and I've never known this more than through my experiences as a parent. If they wanted more babies, they would do the obvious like address maternal mortality, parental leave, child hunger, etc.

Just sent invite code #10,850!
Requests have really slowed down, but if you know clinicians, researchers, scholars, including journals, departments, professional societies, etc. looking to come over, I still have about 500 codes still available: forms.gle/ZyYhpa5MHT66... 🩺 🧪 #AcademicSky
Yeah I feel like the power of AI would be to have program officers upload reviewer comments into AI to have them be turned from "how dare you, lowly garbage" tone into "not bad! Shows promise, just not this year" tone
Smart man!
From the state and won't even move back despite 1) we have a new baby and all of our family is there and 2) my job wouldn't even have to change as I can be fully remote.
That's how bad the state is rn
Glad I can blame drug companies for one more thing! 💩🤬😖

I've noticed the ads I get for skincare have gone through the roof in my 30s. So many serums and creams and masks while my husband maybe gets an ad once a year for beard oil. 🫠
I haven't had a lot of luck with higher ed journals. I hate that's the fact it was desk rejected. Fingers crossed for #3
