What’s good new followers?! I'm a professor, dept. chair, and parent of 2 high-energy kids. I taught middle and high school math for 12 years before going into the #AcademicSky. I love nerding out about education + social policy, the MCU, theology, parenting, and gluten-free desserts. #BlackEduSky

Not our texture nor our hair care practices. Not the full range of styles.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

People keep telling me how their AI assistants help them get more work done and I just don't understand why my goal should be to do the work of two people when I'm only getting paid the salary of one.

I was with a panel of people who were all making good arguments about why AI will never replace this or that skill or job, so maybe we'll be okay, and I finally said to one teacher: "you can just say no. you don't have to use it. it steals from people and teaches no skills. it's not a good tool."
