@ZingerLearns @edutooters Interesting—I am one of the 5%. I have noticed a significant attitude difference between myself when addressing my students with disabilities (a SPED teacher), and that of my classmates. I expect my students to have good lives and to support independence and self-advocacy; my classmates expect “inspiration.” #Disability #Education #DisabilityRights #SelfAdvocacy #WeAreNotYourInspiration #DisabilityIndependence #DisabilityJustice #edutooter

@ZingerLearns @edutooters probably at least 2 different processes in that difference: (1) disabled learners select out of teaching as a possible career and (2) those who don't select out feel pressure to pass and conform, so they don't document/share their disabilities. It's much riskier to out yourself to a potential employer than to a school, even if both are required in principle to treat you fairly.

I hope y'all are understanding that CNN is right wing cosplaying as center now. There's way more important things to report on than that man — I haven't watched it (I don't dignify my time with State propaganda anymore) and I'm hoping y'all stop investing in outlets that do not give a fuck about y'all too.

Anyone experience in being an independent scholar with a PhD?

Seriously thinking of changing paths after completing the PhD so any experiences and advice appreciated!

There's been a lot of talk today about Henry Kissinger's upcoming 100th birthday, but I've yet to see Anthony Bourdain's quote about that war criminal scroll by, and it can't be shared enough.

This conservative defense of "politeness" based on fear of being shot plays out in similar fashion in families where traditional punitive discipline frightens kids into docility. Those who value compliance above all - and who focus only on surface behavior - actually think this arrangement "works."

I am looking forward to reading this:

Unpacking the "Completion Crisis" at Community Colleges https://www.aaup.org/article/unpacking-completion-crisis-community-colleges

Working with people who trust and support you is more valuable than most pay raises when you switch jobs.

This is one lesson I’ve seen people learn the hard way over and over again.

Bigots should feel unsafe around you.

Fox Entertainment fired him for purely economic reasons, certainly not for any moral position.

So, what does McDonald's have to say about the franchisee that uses child slaves? Shouldn't they LOSE their right to own franchises?

“Investigators from the department’s Wage and Hour Division found two 10-year-old workers at a Louisville McDonald’s restaurant," said the Labor Department press release. “Investigators also determined two 10-year-old children were employed – but not paid – and sometimes worked as late as 2 a.m.”

Kentucky McDonald's put 10-year-olds to work until 2 a.m.: officials

So BlueSky forces every post to be sent to a proprietary AI service thing, because of course they do.

I told you not to trust this tech bro platform. Why do people just refuse to accept that tech bro software always has a fucking snake in the grass?

Attacking education, attacking transgender citizens, corrupting the judicial system

Where have I seen this before?

I don’t want to be the next Weimar Republic

We need to continually call out fascism heading into 2024 otherwise we will be.

So, basically the world is going to watch a member of a family get in a golden carriage, get some new jewels and a golden hat to signify he's in charge of that family and all their money.

Only in Republican world can a man assault a reporter, get convicted, and go on to be governor yet a woman named Zooey Zephyr can be a threat to a roomful of men just by talking and end up thrown out of the legislature.

So tired of these people with mouths full of scripture but hearts full of hate.
