Does anyone have a primer appropriate for undergraduate students on what Title II is/contains/requires?
And then this morning, I got this email:
"The recent updates to Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act not only impact course content, but work submitted by students as well. Student submissions must be accessible, especially if intended to be reviewed by their classmates.

Citation is power. Citation is epistemology. Citation is the creation of legitimacy and the gifting of authority.

I had an extensive dream that I canned the tomatoes in the fridge, so I guess I should check on those I bought a few weeks ago and process them tonight.
I also dreamt today was the weekend, so that was a bummer to wake up to

Due to poor planning on the part of another office, I won't have a remote day this week. I'm trying to be strategic about planning around not being home to take care of things and have realized I do not, in fact, need to do it all tonight.

*Women receive substantially lower "potential" ratings despite receiving higher performance ratings
*Differences in potential ratings account for half of the gender promotion gap
*Women’s lower potential ratings do not reflect future performance: women subsequently outperform male colleagues

The #ExecutiveFunctionTheft of having to opt out.

About 2.5 months into taking metformin and I'm *so annoyed* at some of my previous medical providers for not pushing or even recommending me to try it. Even at the low dose I'm on there have been significant changes and I'm very annoyed I've waited to get them address.

The negotiated rulemaking session on defining professional programs essentially just added clinical psychology to the bare minimum required by law, even though the law gives more leeway to include other programs. This will end up in court.

Ooof, I'm listening (or was listening) to an academic podcast that uses all sorts of acronyms, even while speaking! And, guess what? My brain can't track all of your acronyms because I don't have a paper to refer back to. Stop this! Just use the words!

"there should be no uncontested races" is a thing I'm seeing and I would like to invite every single person who says that to join their local Dem committee and run a race themselves.

one thing I love about modern UI design is the lack of error messages. Ideally, the user should have no idea why their app is malfunctioning or what they can do to fix it. this is how a phone asserts dominance.
