None of it is a distraction. They want to gut Medicaid + they want to fire federal workers + they want the SAVE act, + the third term. Whether or not they can get any or all of it is up to us, and that doesn't include sitting around trying to parse out what they "really mean." They're telling us.

If anyone reaches asynchronous online college classes, what tools do you use for student interaction? I really dislike discussion boards and so do the students. I'm teaching a class this summer and looking to do student interactions better. BTW, we will be switching to Canvas.

Besides USDB, does anyone know of a deaf school that has a Portrait of a Graduate or Portrait of a Learner? I'm collecting them for a future project. TIA

Now that English is the official language of the United States, I look forward to everyone understanding the difference between “your” and “you’re,” “their” and “they’re,” and “to,” “two” and “too.”

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.” I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott

I am absolutely loving today's Silent Garden Lecture with 58-IN-MIND editors and authors. Only 2 hours in to the full day's schedule and already learning so much!

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Received this from the grandmother of my student I taught for 5 yrs. (shared w/ permission). He's 8 yo. He found my YouTube channel &, in this image, he's watching the ASL translation of my dissertation study informed consent.❤️ Being a teacher is the greatest profession on the planet. This is why!
