must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

We conclude with four steps to abolition–(1) removing exam requirements through legislation, (2) scrapping exam fees for licensee-seekers in inflexible states, (3) paying reparations to test-takers gatekept by biased qualifying exams, and (4) anti-trust enforcement against ASWB and its member boards

Probably the most influential book I read on my adult career was Remix by Lessig. It is horrifying that LLMs and genAI is the remix culture we get because only oligopolies can legally reuse copyrighted works...including now, apparently, everyone else's copyrighted works, too.

I cannot believe I'm going to have to look up circumvention techniques just to do literature searching on my phone while my kids are at soccer practice or whatever.

Omg I've done so many lit searches on my phone I'm pretty sure my UEFI is now banned from ever accessing Google scholar. Every browser gives me a 403 error for GS on my phone (but no other platform, device). I lit search as systematically as a bot, apparently.

The last time I posted about ASWB on a social work listserv, they permanently nuked the BPD-L email list. I wonder what will happen when I share via the NANFED lists about how to prepare students for ASWB testing changes...

I literally just got laughed at in the Virginia ad hoc commission meeting for suggesting that boards should care or exercise some oversight. If you want to know where the temperature of the regulators is at

This is to a great extent the problem. The story is not so much what they are saying but that they are making these obvious falsehoods into truth through power and suffering. There is no info source or conversation tactic that will help because they do not seek accommodation or progress.
