I still think about Nicole on occasion.

I couldn't make it two scrolls of my mouse without thinking incredibly mean things about a whole lot of people.

So many things in this moment are stupid and enraging and this is right up there.

@korytellers.bsky.social It's nation-wide!!!

Thanks for sharing, Glom! I thought maybe it was a local thing but it's so great to hear it's a national project!

People wearing orange shirts that say repair cafe are working on gadgets, lamps, sewing machines, and more for people. There is at least one can of WD-40.

Just had the pleasure of standing in the sun for an hour, welcoming people to a repair cafe held in my village. I got to hold open the door when they walked in with something broken and then again when they left with something fixed.

What an incredible idea and incredible group of people.

Granted, I taught middle school back in the 1900s, but if I saw one of my students doing this, I would have pinged in immediately as an attention seeking behavior. His face practically telegraphs it.

Publisher demands $500 from impersonated author to retract paper Last year, we wrote about a Walsh Medical Media journal that refused to withdraw an author’s paper unless he paid a fee β€” even though he didn’t write or submit the article. For one reader, some det…

Lol. This is academic publishing taken to its logical end.

Grammarly is using our identities without permission Grammarly’s AI stole my boss’s identity.

This year's #F1 opening credits are great! Stroll got something much better than last year and Bottas is ridiculous.

Also, races are now on Apple, not ESPN. They combine the preshow with the qualifying rounds which is good, but the screen shows spoilers as you navigate to the event.

Rebecca Solnit Says the Left’s Next Hero Is Already Here

β€œOne of the great weaknesses of our era is we get lone superhero movies that suggest that our big problems are solved by muscly guys in spandex, when actually the world mostly gets changed through collective effort, more like caregiving than it is like war.”

Factory model school - Wikipedia

If you're so inclined to understand said rage, I'm the author of this Wikipedia article about the myth of the factory school.

An Unconventional Seating Plan Designed to Benefit Focus and Learning After years of search and experimentation, this teacher finally hit on a room layout that allowed for efficient shifting between whole class, small group, and independent work.

And have to share two @edutopia.org posts in a row because this one from @mrrablin.bsky.social is SO cool! I have never seen this seating-arrangement strategy before.

So there is a story about the "top 10 cities at risk during nuclear war" circulating in various tabloids/etc. with my name attached to it, and I will say that a) I never have (nor would) make such a list at all, and b) I never said any of the quotes attributed to me in the article.

This framing made me laugh mostly because it violates the "dead person rule" I was taught regarding IEP goal writing in college (if a dead person can do, it's a bad IEP goal - ie. "the student won't yell in 5/5 classes").

But also, this is policing teachers' speech and so it goes, so it goes.

Everyone who showed up was over the age of 65 and had specific, pointed questions about AI. It was a great conversation.

Exactly. And shout out to editors specifically.

One encouraging theme in last night's NC primaries is the simple fact that being pro-trans is now like being anti-ICE among Dem voters: to them, it means you're a fighter, it means you're not giving into Trump.

That's a really, really good sign.

This is a textbook example of how modern Conservatism is not the same as conservative thought when it comes to public schools.

β€˜Nazi heaven’: Inside Miami campus Republicans’ racist group chat The chat is the subject of a Florida International University police investigation.

The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students β€” and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"

For sure! This is a good summary of three models of disability if they've never hit your radar. You're describing the social model; people who say "increase" are generally referencing the medical model.
