People can tolerate accessibility if it gives the "curb cut effect" and is actually helpful for abled people. People hate accessibility when it means changing the way they do things or missing out or slowing down.

not even a single thought

On trauma and memory and words not being enough.

The reason I don't care about all the plot holes on LOST is that these characters are so excellent. Like, Ben Linus?? One of the most interesting characters in all TV imo. I would watch all these characters do whatever

A week from today!

Generally we think of alt-text as the domain of those with accessibility needs. However alt-text is useful for many reasons, which benefit your viewers, as well as you, the creator!

Vincent swimming after the raft 😭 (more LOST rewatch posts ahead)

"when people show you who you are, believe them" is one of the most important life lessons and one of the most painful to learn

Big News! @teacher2teacher.bsky.social and @principalproject.bsky.social have joined the Edutopia family, adding new ways for our community of educators to get just-in-time advice, share high-quality resources, and connect with peers. Stay tuned for more updates!

This month's pay-what-you-can workshop! Teacher boundaries in trauma-informed education...if you're not a therapist or a social worker, what IS your role? And how do you protect yourself from burnout? #EduSky buytickets.at/unconditiona...

The other times I've watched LOST I never noticed how weird it is that they just...stop looking for Claire?? Like she's 8 months pregnant and kidnapped and you guys just moved on in 12 hours???

If you would like to spend some time appreciating Iranian stories, may I recommend the documentary Joonam? It's a beautiful and complex story about family and home. Made by/starring my SIL 🥰 www.joonamfilm.com

I think what’s drawing so many people to Artemis II isn’t just the science. It’s the beauty, the poetry, the art, the interconnectedness. Humanities matter.

losing contact with the earth for 40 minutes sounds nice

Rewatching LOST, idc what anyone says about the end I love this show so much

Mott's applesauce has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever #companyretreat

it really is bananas how hard it is to get people to care about ableism, especially when pretty much every person will become disabled at some point in their lives.

take some time today to read the post and then the linked obituary. a call to be more human.

Local influencer posts AI slop April fools day thing. Everyone comments "AI slop." He makes long video about how using AI goes against his values but it was late at night when he came up with his idea and he's too broke to hire an actual artist. Buddy that's not the defense you think it is!

Its so interesting* how disabled people are erased from society & media but are then used to sell things like Waymo and AI as 'emancipating' technologies. I guess this lets people feel that they are somehow participating in disability justice when they take a self-driving cab? *Cynical, gross

Oh is it science-fiction-shouldn't-be-political-o'clock again already? It is. It always is. Writing is. Writing is a political act. Possibly why tech bros want to take it away from us. Keep writing. The madder the better. You mightn't hear the song you're putting out but others will.

I finished the first part of my current revision (fixing the order/structure of the whole book). Phew that was a SLOG but now I can do the more fun parts!!!

Patrick singing to David is top tier but I love David lipsynching to Patrick so much too. 😍🥰

The best ADHD advice is not "here's a hack so you can do things like a neurotypical." It's "here's how to stop being so hard on yourself for not being neurotypical." I'm never going to have perfect habits and routines, but I am going to be much softer with myself.

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

Oooh I'm so excited that @heymrsbond.com finally wrote up her home email strategy for @edutopia.org !!! www.edutopia.org/article/comm...

I finally realized why other people's AI use makes me feel so hopeless and i think it's something about realizing that I thought I had shared values with a lot of people but it turns out we actually don't value the same things at all.

Now do the rest!

This is wild: a company is secretly scanning the internet for Zoom meeting links and turning them into AI-generated podcasts for $$$. Some meeting participants only found out after we told them. Included meeting on protecting kids from ICE, was supposed to be private www.404media.co/this-company...

This says “trap” in letters three stories high with flashing lights and a siren, and still some profs will walk right into it.

"the problems are literally the entire thing." Preach!

Company Retreat (Jury Duty season 2) is soooooooo good I'm obsessed. The casting team deserves every award

Artemis heard it was #Friday and immediately entered power-saving mode. #cats #BlueskyCats #gato #adoptdontshop #fosterkittens #DMV #adoptme #tgif And yes, you should follow our fosters on the ‘gram @littletailfosters

I don't really have a desire to do all the event planning pieces of it, but sometimes I kinda want to bring EdCamp Vermont back. I used to looooove that day! (Just had a memory pop up from the first time I hosted it).

This is such a fun and cute idea!! And I could see applications in a bunch of content areas. Who Will Your Students Be in 2040? www.edutopia.org/article/care...

A classic anti-masker tactic is to claim that if you don't wear a mask 100% of the time, it isn't worth it. Untrue. Every single time you wear a mask, you reduce the chances for viruses to spread. Wearing a mask always improves public health, even if you only do it occasionally.

Nope, Google Docs

Dolores Huerta's statement on Cesar Chavez: “I am nearly 96 years old, and for the last 60 years have kept a secret because I believed that exposing the truth would hurt the farmworker movement I have spent my entire life fighting for... I can no longer stay silent and must share my own experiences"

This is such a unique way to build awareness, I love it. The advertising has been starting a lot of conversations locally. www.mynbc5.com/article/ice-...

The pressure to be disabled in name only is huge.
