“AR Gov Sanders suggests course on Black history spreads ‘hate’ against U.S.”

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: Some white people were enslavers. Other white people were abolitionists. If you think teaching that accurate history “spreads hate”—then you’ll have to first explain why you associate more with enslavers than with abolitionists?🤔

@rm4@mstdn.social people seem to be absolutely losing their minds here in SoCal, wish people had a better sense of preparation for emergencies.
It was wild at the grocery store, one person with 4 cases of water, one with 5 cases of root beer, one with 6 boxes of peanut butter pretzels...

The red cross does a good job of basic list...

Is there an org specifically helping our trapped friends to get out of states that threaten their very existence? My friends in TX and FL cannot afford to leave, and I'm sure many of you know people in the same predicament.

The capitalists we are supposed to revere starting the industrial age never once thought that what they doing might hurt the planet.

Here we are now and the new ones do it too. We must acquire their money.

Wishing every educator starting school tomorrow a great school year.

Have a great year if this is your first year or your 25th year.
We have had some challenging and painful years, but it's educators that will make the difference, and despite all the systemic inequities in schools public education still offers the greatest possibilities for a better world!

Someone trying to tempt me back to Twitter with this screenshot, saying “come on, won’t it be fun to respond to this?” Their idea of fun may differ from mine.

Lots of people have made fun of my mental illness and openness about it, most often on Twitter. But I’m okay. So far I haven’t looked at one of them and said “wow they seem really happy and successful, I wish I had their life.”

This is such a typical narrative right.
We collectively need to do a better job helping faculty see that if you want to be a good researcher, you have to be a good teacher.
How do grad students learn to be good researchers?
How do students become inspired to be the next generation of researchers.
I engage in and lead many professional developments and a few learning communities, especially for grad students and future/current educators knowing that it's not really part of my job and that it doesn't "count" but is important enough! We need institutions to take stronger stances around these issues.

Slightly different but related - I was recently talking w a potential client about a project developing a community of practice. I'd used the term a few times before they asked "what is that?" I was pretty surprised but explained and then they told me that teaching was the last priority at their institution bc they're a research institution.

I am still feeling some kind of way.

I think there is a very wide spectrum here of invite only conferences and spaces, where on one extreme is a good old boys club and on the other extreme ways and reasons to fund liberatory and abolitionist spaces for those (especially graduate students) who normally would not get to meet, or meet in safe and affirming spaces.
As to the ratio and range of where most "invite only conferences" fall... We can just look at existing power structures within the university.
I would add to this the location and costs associated with "open" conferences that become cost inhibitive for many and effectively filter out anyone who is not extremely well funded. Some of these conferences are not open at all. One of the first things I look for are if they offer a sliding scale for registration (again, especially for graduate students) and significantly reduced cost lodging.

I'm curious what the *professional* and ethical arguments in favor of invitation-only conferences. It seems to me the arguments against such a practice are obvious, and yet these things are still quite common.
The only defense of them I've heard is basically 'I want an excuse to hang out with my friends in my subdiscipline', but that does not seem like sufficient grounds to keep these things going.

- I'm not casting judgment on people who go to these things, I have even done so myself. But I've always felt icky about them.

Referring to American billionaires as anything other than oligarchs is disingenuous or naive. If it walks like an oligarch, talks like an oligarch, he is an Oligarch. And the whole "self-made" narrative is pretty bunk too. Bezos, Musk, Zuck, are not even remotely self made.
