Today I facilitated two workshops on #Neurodivergence, and my resounding takeaway is that people are more aware of their need for, and even hungry for, information to build more inclusive educational cultures. That's a big, big win, in case you were needing good news today.

I cannot wait for this book to come out. Pre-order now!
I find myself in the liminal space of having a book coming out in a month and to deal with that anxiety and anticipation, I fantasized about some specific people I'd like to read it. biblioracle.substack.com/p/very-speci...

I know I'm late to the game, but I finally read @thetattooedprof.bsky.social's book, Radical Hope.

I starred so many passages, and found myself constantly nodding along and even saying "Yes!" aloud, too. What an important contribution to #HigherEd!

I had the pleasure of writing an endorsement for @liznorell.bsky.social’s book, The Present Professor. Happy to see that many are already reading it. The timing is just right for this refreshing read, and the cover is gorgeous. I hope that it finds its way onto many reading lists. #Teaching
