Netflix’s claims about how many times a given film has been viewed, it turns out, are a complete fabrication. They quite literally add up all the partial viewing time including seconds something has been autoplayed and then divide by the length of the film. www.nplusonemag.com/issue-49/ess...

“What this view misses is that disabled people can and do lead lives of dignity and self-determination. Real health leadership does not, cannot, mean complete avoidance of disability, or treating it as a fate worse than a deadly infectious disease.“

Exciting news #EduSkyIL, we had enough people to get the Illinios Educator Starter Pack going. If you see this and want added, please let me know! I don't add people randomly because I know not everyone wants to be in these packs. #EduSky #EduCoach go.bsky.app/GJxgu3h

Hey #EduSky Who has got the Sundays?

I've removed the Bluesky data from the repo. While I wanted to support tool development for the platform, I recognize this approach violated principles of transparency and consent in data collection. I apologize for this mistake.

I am thankful for libraries and librarians. Imagine what our communities would be like if libraries were as well funded as the police #EduSky

I am traveling soon which means I am a few hours away from the 🤦🏻‍♂️ moment of realizing I forgot something, oh If I could know what it is now

🧵🧵 While everyone was understandably focused on national politics, something happened in Texas this week that has received far less attention than it deserves, given its potential consequences. And I'd guess even very plugged-in folks dont realize the full scope. Let me explain (at length):

Good morning #EduSky we made it to Friday. Planning ice breakers for PD is making me increasingly aware of what a millennial I am. What are some more modern teacher references and memes?

The head of Oklahoma's public schools seems to be testing the waters for a broad-scale attack on the separation of church and state. He's requiring students to watch him pray for our next president, in violation of Department of Education rules. 1/ www.latintimes.com/head-oklahom...

I wanna see something… If you’re an educator who games, repost this. If you’re an educator who teaches with or about games, comment what you do! I wanna build some starter packs… #Edusky #Gaming

Hey #EduSky after 2 decades in classroom Im in my first district role #EdTech #Coding #AI folks interested in justice and literacy more than hype let’s connect. I had the same handle on the old site if any of mutuals from there want to reconnect

From your friendly librarian: please, please don’t make books, reading, or visits to the library a punishment OR a reward. It’s not as effective as you think it is, and it damages the relationship your child can build with us. Literacy is a birthright.
