Happy to share this new #literacies piece with @sarahejerasa.bsky.social comparing ways that content is suggested and circulated across platforms like TikTok and Webtoon. It was fun to think with frameworks of sponsorship and to talk about webcomics, which I love!

My number one tip for researchers that do a significant amount of non peer reviewed paper publication/outreach:

Create an excel table, every time you give an interview, talk, write an oped or white paper, etc. take 5 seconds to immediately note it in the excel.

Morning! I did a lil analysis and turns out that, when ED employees are illegally fired and contracts are canceled, ED is unable to fulfill its congressional mandate to publish national statistics on the condition of education.

Why does that matter? Well...
