Are we talking about how the concept of accessibility is being weaponized to arm the digital panopticon, or no? A "public syllabus" for a college course is bullshit. Students' moms' aunts' hairdressers' dogs don't need to google my syllabus. But it does let them check if I'm being too woke or not.
that's doctor arin to you

Look, anything else aside, I really admire Dylan’s post-harassment campaign pivot into just serving insane amounts of cunt at all times
For @ms.now I wrote about Dylan Mulvaney's response to Trump using her to insult a CNN reporter at the White House Correspondents Dinner: www.ms.now/opinion/dyla...

Free design tip from your favorite technical writing scholar: 👏🏻 MAKE 👏🏻 IT 👏🏻 MORE 👏🏻 BIGGER👏🏻 Size actually does matter, and you probably shouldn't use the default 11pt font your word processor ships with. In basic doc design, don't go below 8. Hell, don't go below 10. Help us READ THE THING u made!
Spent quite a while deciding if I should go get bubble tea or not, so I flipped a coin for it. Tails, so no bubble tea. I got watermelon oolong. It's pretty good.
Grading thread. I have 15 medium-large projects to grade by EOD tomorrow. I'm also sick. Will update periodically with my progress.

Thinking about the social worker I know who said he could never go back to being a therapist because it's "corny" to talk to adults who don't have real peoblems like he does. Other than being a judgemental fuck to one (or more) of his kids, I have no idea what these "real problems" are.
I recently asked a MAGAt this. Apparently, the will of the people was so obviously and overwhelmingly in support of Trump in 26 that there was nothing voter fraud and international election interference could have done. People were too fed up w Biden, but maybe Biden could have won if he ran again.
Can Trump explain how all this supposed illegal voting resulted in Republicans winning the Presidency, Senate, and House?

It's so difficult to get cis people to understand the jk Rowling thing isn't that she doesn't like us so you should punish her. It's if you give her franchise any kind of support you are contributing to trans people being excluded from society
JKR has *even* *said *this* and yet cis people still don't get it. They think not supporting a trans genocide advocate is about nothing but theoretic morality play and punishing people who are no doing no worse than being mean.

Ok I love being a teacher but I hate grading so here's today's grading thread. I have 6 assignments left to grade. They're not huge projects, so I'm hoping for an average below 15 min each, but it would be really cool if I could be done in an hour.
Does anyone in my phone have recommendations for piercers or tattoo artists in the greater Cleveland area?
Ideally I don’t think politicians need to be emphasizing how masculine or feminine they are. This obsession with asserting traditional gender roles is a very clear conservative agenda and it’s a bunch of made up bullshit anyways
But I wanna work on my courses for fall semester, not grade for this semester 😭😭😭
Beth Hapworth, 37, recognises that imposter syndrome is a thing – but has explained that she doesn’t have it, as she is, in fact, an imposter.

It's so ugly omg What a perfect visual representation of what having this natal chart feels like tho.
Huh. Feels 90s Taco Bell interior adjacent.
• if you “keep forgetting” - go to settings -> accessibility -> toggle the reminder switch. • “don’t know what to write”? - well, how would you explain the media on the phone to a friend? • worried about being “bad at it”? - it’s a skill that’s developed through practice, helpful resources exist.
all y’all need to start doing alt text on your photos and videos because i am shitfaced off white wine and mojitos right now and still managing to do it on photos and videos so get the fuck together everybody
Just because the same group of mostly anti-neurodiversity, non-autistic people keep trying to make #ProfoundAutism happen does not mean the proposed label actually has merit. In fact, the term has the potential to do great harm, as @drstevenkapp.bsky.social details: www.mdpi.com/2227-7102/13...
