It is not stupid. I mean at the risk of being self promotional, part of my point of my book is that inclusive STEM education REALLY matters for justice overall in this country. You’ll love chapter 8. bsky.app/profile/chad...

It's still wild to me I get up each morning to do my stupid STEM education job while we make a speed run towards authoritarianism. 🎁 article: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/o...

Elite views of Frandor this morning. #LoveLansing

So apparently they listened. 🥳 bsky.app/profile/wbri...

With recognition achieved, we carry forward the strength of our organizing into building a first contract—one that reflects our priorities and protects faculty rights 💪

Told my students about this today. We’re asking for the resources to serve them better and make sure their future is what they want.

Received a direct appeal from my kid's school district about their funding because GOP leader Matt Hall continues to play politics with our kids and their education. michiganadvance.com/2025/08/21/a...

A four (five?) year project. 😭 We started with a handful and now we’re a recognized union. 🥳 Congrats to everyone. 💪🏽 Time to win a strong contract. #MichiganState #academia #highered

I hate these accounts. But this is such bullshit. My weekly family grocery budget has gone up $50-$75. Gas is $.25-$.50 more a gallon. Our insurance costs are going up 6-15%. And my family isn’t middle class; I can’t imagine how hard this is hitting working families.

Proud of the work we have all done with @utsfmsu.bsky.social over the years. We made history. Michigan State has recognized our union. #academia #highered #msu

“Smart” people don’t talk about IQ scores. Small-minded and insecure folks who need to dominate others do.

That should at least give you an excuse to sleep in til 6

Finding it crazy that I'll get up at 5am daily to do my job as university educator and researcher while my field is being attacked directly by federal officials and actions. ✌🏼

Beautiful biking day in the 517. #LoveLansing

TOUCHDOWN 💚🤍

The Republican Party of Michigan through Speaker Matt Hall is trying to take away free breakfast and lunch for all Michigan children. Every single child deserves a full stomach when they learn. Every. Single. Child. Period. www.clickondetroit.com/news/local/2...

first day of year 2 as an assistant prof done ✅. very excited to be teaching 29 very bright undergraduate students in our upper level stars course this semester! ps. looking for engaging in class exercises for the 3rd/4th year level, so please share what has worked for you in the past! 🙏🏽

Hyper local #lansing news. My HVAC guy had his ads pulled from @wlns.bsky.social and @fox47.bsky.social Larry is a legend. He is unapologetically “woke”, employs the best people, and does incredible work. He deserves an answer why his ads were pulled. lansingcitypulse.com/stories/tv-s...

They’re planning to deputize folks that fill out an online questionnaire as federal law enforcement officers and deploy them to cities. I don’t think my colleagues understood why I raised the alarm in February. #academia #highered www.stripes.com/theaters/us/...

The world is on 🔥 But meeting with my college leadership about AI general education went well and 🤞🏽 we get to work on some new classes. Importantly, in this accelerated environment, we, the dev team, asked to slow down and be deliberate in our design. Now to find some funds to do the design. 😅

My lab's been attacked by an anti-wind group and their lawyers. They threatened the science funding of my whole university, to shut me and my undergraduate research assistants up. NYT just covered it. 1/n www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/c...

More racist BS from avowed racists. apnews.com/article/hisp...

🎉 Big day for @utsfmsu.bsky.social & been years in the making. ✍️ Signed off with MSU on the definition of our unit, and the card check process. We are on the cusp of making history and part of a larger movement of workers advocating for their needs and rights. #unionstrong #unionproud #msu

MSU gave us new “civil rights guidance” Titling this document with “civil rights” and including the following checkpoint demonstrates our capitulation to authoritarianism. “…none are a proxy for achieving outcomes for protected identities.” WTF IS A PROTECTED IDENTITY THEN? #highered #academia

lol fuck that

Wrapping up a three day celebration of our computational and data science department’s ten year anniversary. Lots of #AI and #AIeducation talk at it. Some informed and quite a bit less so. So finding this goal post moving hilarious today. finance.yahoo.com/news/openai-...

“Vagrancy is the condition of wandering homelessness without regular employment or income. Vagrants[a] usually live in poverty and support themselves by travelling while engaging in begging, scavenging, or petty theft.” @wikipedia.org Let’s have some humanity, you doofus.

hey #iteachcs and other #dber folks, we are still seeking a new colleague at Michigan State. Please apply! perjobs.blogspot.com/2025/08/assi... #academia #jobs #msu #michiganstate #ai #machinelearning

Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it

“They don’t know, so I lied to them.”

Why is there athletic tape on her left arm? She gonna pull a muscle being racist?

My rep (Tom Barrett MI-07) lied to his constituents. “…the heart of our federal government has the fourth-highest homicide rate in the country…” DC doesn’t crack the top ten, Tom. Parroting falsehoods doesn’t make them true, it means you’ve lost your integrity. www.newsweek.com/map-cities-h...

I’ve let my kids ride the Metro and walk the streets in DC. All he’s scared of are people that don’t look or live like him. My children are bigger men than Senator CamelCase TwoFirstNames. Choosing not to wear a seatbelt is a citation and a stupid idea. And who the fuck drives in DC?

“More of you should die.”

Hey @iwriteok.bsky.social Modern Linux distros are really user friendly; you can pretty much use @omgubuntu.co.uk or @fedora.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy without huge changes to your user experience. Modern browsers and open office tools have moved forward tons. Good luck!

“…retire credit-bearing unsupervised closed-response online assessments; grade process evidence; use paper, whiteboarding; shift weight to modeling, data, and authentic labs; require transparent, citable AI use; rebuild problem types; and lean on research-based instruction and peer learning.”

It is unclear how people take this kind of work seriously. What a joke. arxiv.org/abs/2508.08842

I never liked the taste of boot leather.

Wonderful stuff. 🥰 #MichiganState www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sfd...

Dude couldn’t keep planes in the air and now wants to push air traffic into “expert mode.”

This is some Hitler Youth shit. Talk to your kids. Make sure they talk to their friends. These actions do not represent the America we love.

Some motivation as a I leave DC after #AAPTSM2025 refreshed to fight for science, science education, and our students. #iteachphysics #iteachcs youtu.be/MSrUBov8U1s?...
