Are you looking for a neuro-affirming autistic peer-support coach? The Autistic Peer Support Coaching Collective has coaches all over the world and offers dozens of free support groups online every month. www.autisticcoaches.com

Today's complaint about the AI in education discourse: Too much of it is framed around a future that is going to happen to us, as opposed to seeing the future as something we may have some agency to shape. I reject the deterministic view of AI, particularly genAI. It's a tool, not our master.

GenAI is a fascist infoweapon, and techbros are a supervillain class.

Hi! Do you teach at a community college? I’m looking for descriptions of ANY assignment you give Ss that involves writing. Trying to make my FYC course as helpful to Ss as possible so would love to see as many assignments from other CC courses as I can… please share!🙏 #highered #communitycollege

The #autistic experience of suddenly understanding that your distaste for a whole lot of the kind of work you’ve done for the past 10 years is b/c it’s not what you *really* wanted to do—you were just mirroring what others in your profession were doing 🫠😭💔

PSA: Never ask a career community college professor why they don't teach at a better school.

the ai cycle: this will do things on it's own this will do things with human supervision well if we have a human go over everything it does we'll save some money turns out it actually can't do anything

Great job everyone

I think my access is denied b/c it’s from a Canadian journal, so if any of my CA friends can help, I’d be so so grateful! 🩷🩷#highered #EduSky #DoctoralResearch #femme #autism

My bold dream is that all who claim to be for equity & liberation muster the courage to denounce the genocidal atrocities being committed against Palestinians. #NCTE #NCTE25

Hello colleagues! Is there anyone who has access to the article below, by chance? 🙏🙏 brill.com/view/journal...

Two Saturdays ago, a high school teacher and I got 11 high school students together with 9 preservice teachers and had a big conversation about school and teaching and learning. Then, we drafted a collective op-ed. It was published this morning! www.news-gazette.com/opinion/gues...

I really, really despise compulsory sexuality.

The Egyptian pro-democracy activist Wael Ghonim said, "The power of the people is greater than the people in power." This is a checklist of things you can do, probably should do, resources, ideas, ways to move forward. “I just don’t know what to do!!” shouldn’t be something you say now. Here:

It’s a common misconception that ADHD is just an inability to focus. Really, it’s a struggle to control focus. I can hyperfixate for hours on complex but pointless tasks and freeze on simple tasks. Some days, my brain’s a Lamborghini with no brakes. Other days, a rusty bike with a stuck chain.

I hope all the ⚪️ folks who for decades have said things like, “Oh, but I can’t IMAGINE they would—” have the day they deserve.

Mediocre white men should never be in positions of power anywhere or anytime.

Individual teachers cannot be expected to solve this problem, and the challenge requires us to get to roots of a system that students see as purely transactional (for good reason) and for which AI can fulfill the transaction. Putting this on individual teachers is simply unfair.

I’m not saying AI is evil — god forbid I be that moralistic and clear — I’m saying it is worse than that. It’s MID. Too mid to do much more than externalize some risk, produce some mid documents, and accelerate climate risk as a cute little benefit.

I would like to take this moment to formally thank @georgejaneteas.bsky.social for this period’s royalty check 😂🫡 🩷

A super easy action item: call your reps, regardless of party affiliation, and use this (or your own!) script.

Sometimes it takes a bit for a book to find its audience. I’m not sure exactly what’s going on rn, but I’m sure as heck grateful for all of the love this lil’ book has been receiving lately. 🩷 I can’t WAIT to hear what your students and book group members have to say about it. #EduSky

I wrote about this phenomenon in my book, which just happens to be on sale right now 🙂 #EduSky www.routledge.com/Literacy-for...

True story: a few years ago, I was being interviewed by a reporter for the New York Times. I mentioned the history of eviction statutes and how they tied into Jim Crow. The reporter asked "what's Jim Crow?" When I explained, the reporter didn't believe me and said the US wouldn't do that.

Belle Gibson, Ruby Franke, and Amanda Riley will all have their lies, scams, and abusive actions dissected in television series and documentaries over the next several years, and I fear we won’t meaningfully address how whiteness works in this, and why they were able to get away with it for so long.

I got death threats for exposing the young men who were sexually harassing me in high school. Get out of here with that.

Gender is such an immutable, natural binary that we have to enforce it with the full power of the state.

What are your favorite class texts for HS at the moment? #EduThreads Novels, novellas, short story collections? TY!

Slight correction—WE got better at finding us.

Thank fuck for Heather Cox Richardson. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION IS A DEPARTMENT CREATED BY STATUTE; IT CANNOT BE ELIMINATED BY EXECUTIVE ORDER! EXECUTIVE ORDERS CANNOT REPEAL STATUTES! JUST LIKE DEPARTMENTS CANNOT BE CREATED BY EXECUTIVE ORDER! she shouts into the void
