My PhD was grant funded by OSEP. I have a service agreement. No idea if anyone is around to verify hours or answer questions. I know this is low priority for DoEd right now, but like, what do I do?
How the layoffs impact me personally is truly the least of my concerns, but it’s still a concern!

There's so much for us to fight for right now. It's devastating, exhausting, and it's also possible. We can't forget past and present organizers who have always been fighting for justice.
They have always shown us that collective resistance works. Let's do this, but never alone. ❤️

Today is Retraction Day, when we observe the anniversary of the retraction (Feb. 2, 2010) of the fraudulent paper that purported to show a link between vaccines and autism. 🧪#medsky
![This is the front page of a fraudulent research article that purported to show a link between vaccines and autism. The word "RETRACTED" is written across it in large red letters.
Wikipedia: On 28th February 1998, a fraudulent research paper by physician Andrew Wakefield and twelve coauthors, titled "Ileal-Lymphoid-Nodular Hyperplasia, Non-Specific Colitis, and Pervasive Developmental Disorder in Children", was published in the British medical journal The Lancet.[1] The paper falsely claimed causative links between the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine and colitis and between colitis and autism. The fraud involved data selection, data manipulation, and two undisclosed conflicts of interest.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sox6xar4qdc3ujhi5h4whtlh/bafkreiazjyxk6foryp6lzxcqbls62uaokwhjrjmnzg5uqpdimg77xrt26a@jpeg)

I miss Jamboard. I haven’t found anything that works as well, is completely free, and doesn’t require students to create accounts. Anyone find a great substitute yet?

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.
Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.
Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

I did it. I made my entire asynchronous course in advance. Every assignment. Every due date. Every reading. All organized by week with a weekly message explaining the content. All set to open for students every Monday. Holy moly. Future Rachel will thank me.

New pub today, focused on the ethnoracial diversity of the special ed teacher (SET) workforce.
We found that -- at current rate of change -- the SET workforce will NEVER be ethnoracially representative of the population of students w/disabilities.
