Learning geek. Assistant Professor. Teacher. Researcher. Disabled. Queer. Affirming children’s dignity as learners. Documenting children’s brilliance + teachers’ sensemaking. My views do not represent my employer’s.

I’m a learning geek. I adore children’s perspectives + expertise. I’m grateful everyday for family partnerships. I’m in awe of the work teachers do to cultivate children’s brilliance. I’m a science nerd. I’m a disabled, queer, scholar. All of this leads me to a #SlowResearch approach.

TIL that Moms for America, Moms for Liberty, and Parents Defending Education have signed the White House's pledge to America's youth to invest in AI education, which further clarifies how this AI education initiative is a political project and whose vision of education is being prioritized.

What’s happening is a lot of people who thought a little fascism just meant clearing out some undesirables and making the trains run on time are realizing that actually yes they too will be effected and it’s making them slightly nervous.

I’m going to say this louder this time: if you are lying about having a high-risk condition to get a Covid vaccine, all good, do what you want to do BUT show some actual goddamn respect for people who *actually* have that condition and start masking.

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 11mo ago

Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.

This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Friendly reminder that your fever, cough, fatigue, aches, gastric symptoms may be the highly contagious new COVID-19 variant, XFG, aka “Stratus.” COVID-related emergency room visits are up among all age groups, as the current wave spreads in the U.S., Canada, globally. September will be rough.

Reading the awful news out of University Chicago's Division of Arts and Humanities and the formation of a committee that is apparently exploring the question, "Is there language teaching that we can do via ChatGPT?" should make it clear that GenAI is an anti-worker technology of austerity.

To all academics and writers, you may want to join this potential class action lawsuit if your IP was sucked into AI training without your express permission. I have dozens of pieces in the LibDem database. (There is a gift link to the Atlantic article in the thread.) bsky.app/profile/ruth...

I have four pieces that were ripped off by AI! A JLS audible, C&I article, and two IDC conference publications. @islsnews.bsky.social thank you to the publications committee / board / founders for whatever you’ve done to keep us off this list.
