On the eve of our submission window opening, we felt we should add an AI policy

omg the art in this piece is STUNNING!!!!!!!!! I'm too distracted by how pretty it is to take in the very useful information in the charts 😆 www.edutopia.org/visual-essay...

ICYMI! The writing cohort only has 4 spots left, and the group is shaping up to be AMAZING! #EduSky

In case you missed it! The book came out 2 years ago but audiobook rights are a whole different thing; I'm excited that this expanded accessibility is now here!

"remember the mid-2020s when everyone was obsessed with AI? Whew that was a weird time." Manifesting a time after this...

finding it hard to put into words just quite upsetting I find the idea of Google getting rid of the "ten blue links" format of search entirely, genuinely feels like your landlord announcing he's removing your kitchen and replacing it with a bouncy castle, I need my kitchen, let me keep my kitchen

The audiobook version of Becoming an Everyday Changemaker is FINALLY here!! 🎉Available wherever you get your audiobooks!

I looooove these videos of college graduates booing AI!!! More!!

Tuesday June 9, free/PWYC. Educators know reflection is essential but we don't always carve it out for ourselves. Let me help! Join for an evening of reflective writing and connection with fellow educators to make sense of the year. k12 & higher ed welcome! www.tickettailor.com/events/uncon...

I've been really enjoying the subreddit "IsThisAI." It's good practice to learning to identify AI and usually some great discussion and tips in the comments. www.reddit.com/r/isthisAI/

Something I wonder about a lot is why certain experiences don't radicalize everyone. A lot of people experience grief but not everyone seems to transform because of it or develop solidarity with grievers. (1/2)

It's my favorite thing when I criticize PBIS, someone says "well it sounds like you actually don't understand what PBIS is," and then I hit them with my annotated bibliography of PBIS critiques (including my own peer-reviewed academic article). I am an informed hater!!!

Kid yesterday in class I was covering briefly so the teacher could pee, looking at the stickers on my computer: What does that (solidaridad sin fronteras) mean? Me: Solidarity without borders. Him: My sticker is a simpler version of the same thing. Me: What's yours? Him: Fuck ICE. 💛

Yesterday I opened registration for my summer learning offerings! I'm excited to facilitate 2 cohorts: one for education writers, one for education changemakers (or "aspiring" in either category). Plus a one-off slow down and reflect event. All details here: www.tickettailor.com/events/uncon...

The report as a whole has an underlying assumption that if used "correctly" and "carefully" then AI will (or even must) be an aid to student writing development. For a document intended to look at AI "critically" this strikes me as a glaring shortcoming.

Dang, if all the fish in my 5 million gallon aquarium died, I'd start by testing the water, not each individual fish. 🤔

I generally do not care that much if I'm left out of academic work because I'm not a researcher. But you're going to take the exact name of MY framework that I wrote, which I *know* you are familiar with, and build your work on top of it without citing me at all?? It feels personal!!

Today is always a great day to not use generative AI ever again.

The saga continues - their very next post is AI slop again, in which the product looks NOTHING like their actual product, and the caption is copy-paste from chatgpt including "Let me think about what would engage your audience..." 🤣

I just have absolutely no chill left when it comes to ableism.

This summer I'm teaching a workshop on human-centered education writing. What's your favorite piece of education writing that centers students/teachers as full people, even as we discuss policy or practice? Blogs, articles, book chapters, etc all welcome! #EduSky

Also. things like "speaking into a mic" and "using alt text on social media" may seem small and you might not always know the impact. But these are VERY low-lift things you can do to get yourself in the habit of considering access. They'll help you build the muscle to do more.

One of my biggest pet peeves, not just at conferences but all events where you do have access to a mic. If you have some kind of weird hangup about speaking into a mic, please do your own work on that. Your hangup isn't more important than everyone's access.

I finally got around to scanning a book chapter that @drduane.bsky.social and I wrote in 2022 because I reread it recently and thought, hey, that was pretty good! 😅 Here for your reading pleasure, Thirteen Ways of Looking at Trauma (in NCTE Special Issues): drive.google.com/file/d/1jEuF...

They just posted an apology!! Lolllll

They never replied to this, then a few days later posted a new AI ad and are getting dragged in their own comments and on reddit 🤷‍♀️

One of my neighbors has the last name of Pope, and they keep missing their FedEx package so the delivery driver apparently has time on their hands

Season 3 has some of the best AND worst episodes of LOST. Watching the weird Jack Thailand one now 🥴

Anyone know of a website or article that is geared at swaying an average person away from AI? A small local biz made their first AI ad post and I commented on it negatively (pointing out a huge error in the ad). They messaged me to say whoops and I feel like I might have an opening...

I swear, every time you're feeling smug about your progress with chronic pain, your body is like NOPE and is so quick to humble you.

A couple of the songs on this album are soooo good and yet I don't want to listen to them because it's too much emotional damage 😭😭 23 💔💔💔 #thegreatdivide

Lost season 3 premiere, one of my favorite cold opens of all TV

Well that happened

"let's talk about high school, talk about death" (from Noah Kahan's song Dan) is a pretty good summary of what I do for work 😆
