There is a VAST difference between #AI access in independent schools & public schools which is only widening the equity gap! That doesn’t even factor in the fact that so many voices & cultures are missing from training data! via @heidisiwak.bsky.social @ecooorg.bsky.social #Edusky #dreamforward
Kids need to understand that #AI is based on vectors and thus we need to help kids understand how knowledge is interpreted by #AI #EduSky #Math #dreamforward

Oh, friends. Such a great thread. @banana29.bsky.social
Nome@nome.bsky.social · 9mo agoI have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them." That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

The room is not sure what to make of the reality of Louisiana that @librarianjones.com is sharing. The idea of generational underlying festering hate is hard for a room full of Canadians to sit with. #OLASC
So lucky to be hearing @librarianjones.com talk about her experience as an "accidental activist" when advocating for books. #OLASC
Nice chat with Cory at the @onlibraryassoc.bsky.social #OLASC! 'Seize the means' indeed. Time to take back control of #tech in our lives.
@librarianjones.com was so chatty as she signed my book. Good luck fighting for @dirtbagg.bsky.social next!! #olasc

Kelly@broadwaybabyto.bsky.social · 12mo agoI’m told almost daily that if I softened my messaging more folks would support me It’s not the messaging that’s the problem It’s what we’re saying Ableism is everywhere & many people want disabled folks to disappear. They don’t want us taking up space. So we’ll take up more!
Judy Heumann was known as the Mother of the Disability Rights Movement. She was a part of almost every major protest, sit in, passing of disability rights legislation, and advocacy group creation.
