Every day, I worry that it might be my last day at work.

for pity’s sake, I am BEGGING university leaders to stop framing this issue in terms of what this will cost the university. people dont care! EXPLAIN WHAT THIS WILL COST THE PUBLIC: closed hospitals and clinics, skipped treatments, loss of access to experimental drugs, unemployment, recession

Has anyone tried ChatGPT canvas? Is it worthy?

FANTASTIC tool.

🧵 If you’re applauding the abolishment of the Department of Education, you need to do a little research. You have ZERO clue what the DOE actually does. Here’s a reality check on what the Department of Education actually does: (1/14)

Hope I still have a job after all these.

Working on a chapter with some colleagues. But I might need to pull my name from the author list due to the topic could put me at risk for my job. So sad, I want my speech of freedom and academic freedom. I this is not the US i remember anymore.

ChatGPT has been my life coach.

Division for Early Childhood Positionality Statement www.dec-sped.org/single-post/... It's our first post here and it feels appropriate to let you know what DEC's Positionality is for 2025. This message from the DEC Executive Board and Executive Office was published today on the DEC website.

If you're a faculty member trying to support your BIPOC/minoritized students, consider writing a letter of support for them to carry. I am privileged to hold a US passport, *and* I still have a printed and signed letter with my advisor's contact information in case I am wrongfully detailed.
