I’m a learning geek. I adore children’s perspectives + expertise. I’m grateful everyday for family partnerships. I’m in awe of the work teachers do to cultivate children’s brilliance. I’m a science nerd.
I’m a disabled, queer, scholar.
All of this leads me to a #SlowResearch approach.

Stephen Miller: "All that bullshit is done, over, it's finished. The gangbangers you deal with- they think they're ruthless? They have no idea how ruthless we are. They think they're tough? They have no idea how tough we are. They think they're hardcore? We are so much more hardcore than they are"

What’s happening is a lot of people who thought a little fascism just meant clearing out some undesirables and making the trains run on time are realizing that actually yes they too will be effected and it’s making them slightly nervous.

I’m going to say this louder this time: if you are lying about having a high-risk condition to get a Covid vaccine, all good, do what you want to do BUT show some actual goddamn respect for people who *actually* have that condition and start masking.

Sick leave
Paid holidays
No child labor
Safer working conditions
Health care and retirement benefits

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.”
Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment.
No questions asked.
No proof required.
Pass it on.

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself.

Reading the awful news out of University Chicago's Division of Arts and Humanities and the formation of a committee that is apparently exploring the question, "Is there language teaching that we can do via ChatGPT?" should make it clear that GenAI is an anti-worker technology of austerity.
