There’s nothing better than stumbling upon something lovely about your own book because you went down a rabbit role about learning. Thanks, Jessica Kulynych for truly getting “Neurodiversity-Affirming Schools” #Edusky #BookSky open.substack.com/pub/jessicaj...

🎧 In this timely episode of Creating Neurodiversity-Affirming Schools, @emilykm-lpc.bsky.social, @timvillegas.com (of @mcie.org) and I dive into dismantling ableism in education. We explore how ableism is embedded in schools, the social model of disability, and more. Listen in. #Edusky

Deleted a post over on Threads bc I realized I don’t have the spoons to manage even the idea of replies, let alone actual replies. This is not a comment on any replies I got, it’s a comment on my ability to proactively self-monitor. Executive function fail.

This week, I talked with @emilykm-lpc.bsky.social and @amandamorin.bsky.social about four actionable changes teachers can make right now to reshape their classrooms into spaces that are more affirming for neurodiverse students. Really good stuff! www.cultofpedagogy.com/neurodiversi...

If you are a special educator who will be affected by President Trump's executive order on the Department of Education, I'd love to speak to you via Signal. My Signal number is 909-957-6133. I'll protect your identity. #SpecialEducation

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

We’ve seen this, right #EduSky? This happened on Friday: The introduction of H.R.899 - To terminate the Department of Education. To be clear, that’s the whole thing, too. No additional text. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

All I’ll say is covering this RFK Jr. hearing as an #ActuallyAutistic person is one of the weirdest experiences of my life

Please watch the screen capture. It’s so much easier than explaining in words what’s happening and why I feel like I have rocks in my stomach.

Tip from @snowjob.bsky.social If you have a whitehouse.gov link you want to access and it is down, try replacing "www.whitehouse.gov" with "bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov" The national archives is still doing its job for now.

I never quite know what to say over here in the Blue Skies. Maybe it’s bc I live in a part of the country that’s very dark this time of year. Maybe it’s bc I have social media app overload. Or maybe it’s bc I’m boring. Dunno. But here’s a picture of me with a giant Pixar lamp. #SocialMediaAwkward
