Okay #pratchat83 what is happening at the very, very end of Unseen Academicals? This is based on a possibly False memory of the audiobook and I don’t have my own copy but I think the last line of the book is spoken by an unfamiliar voice saying something like “now it is”. #pterry

Episode five is really exceptional, and as someone who works with middle school kids, I absolutely see my students in them. Perfectly cast, beautifully edited.

Many autistic people have intellectual disability. It's important to remember that, for them, "Support is not about deciding things for someone; it’s about empowering them to do what they want to do. It’s giving them the tools to build their own best life." From John Marble et al: a.co/47EA3cl

So for #slpeeps and #disability and #AAC specialists, are we talking about the Disney movie Out of My Mind based on the books by Sharon K Draper? Because I just finished the book series and I've never read about #assistivetech in such loving detail before in fiction before.

@keighta.bsky.social Hi, you're here! I'm glad you're here.

I got to see a teenager say his first word, totally unprompted. (it was "Hi" used functionally, and if you know early language, you know that's an extra-big deal). It was four days ago and I'm still buzzing from the excitement! #aac #slpeeps

Throwback to one of the most unintentionally hilarious things a student has ever asked

I mean why not ? #taskmaster

Today a student asked me whether dinosaurs got sent to heaven or hell, and I can’t stop thinking about it.

i think about this tweet so much that sometimes in the morning when i realize i don't actually want to do whatever plan i came up with, I will think to myself "no. do not let the tweet be right about you again" and it works

When everyone takes the thing real serious except that ONE friend

When trying to do pretty basic google sheets formulas, (a schedule for the day in 15 minute increments) Chat GPT is kicking google gemini's ass right now. Gemini is basically unusable and gave me nonsense over and over again.

what you're afraid of: AI telling your microwave to kill you in your sleep what you should be afraid of: AI telling your insurance to reject your life saving surgery because it was trained on medical texts from 1853

I supervise a grad student and she and a student googly-eyed my office while i was out and I love it. #slpeeps
