I've decided I'm staying put where I am, which hopefully means I'll be housed sooner. I'm also hoping I'll be housed before any measurable snow happens and/or before it gets too cold, but we'll see.
If y'all want to help me get housed faster, feel free to drop me some coin.

Teachers, if your union leadership is advocating AI use, they are advocating against you and you need new leadership. Full stop.

This is such an insane proposal. Beyond obviously being a net negative for students capacity to learn, mental health, safety, etc, etc, AI companies are run by, and partnered with, people and organizations who want to destroy public schools and replace your union members with machines.
We know students, like the rest of the world, are using AI. Teachers need to be equipped to deal w/all the issues AI creates. Our approach starts with maximizing safety & privacy and empowering educators to make educational decisions, so AI tools can benefit not harm www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...
AI has become the norm for students. Teachers are playing catch-up.
At a New York City training session, educators explored how artificial intelligence could support teaching while also discussing their concerns around the technology.

drawing is the repeated experience of finding out that you have no idea what size things are and also that a lot of things, such as chairs, CAN be a lot of different sizes in real life, but whatever size you choose will feel dreadfully wrong

If you have federal student loans, it’s REALLY easy to get out of default - you can consolidate out (easiest but you can only do this once) or rehab out (need to make 9 payments in 10 months). Go here to see your options

I saw the original painting a while ago and immediately knew I needed to make it Jaskier. The actual title of the piece is - Smiling Girl, a Courtesan, Holding an Obscene Image by Gerard van Honthorst

They shouldn’t have to “prove they matter” to access basic support.
They shouldn’t be forced to justify their “worth” to have a chance at survival.
This shouldn’t be up for debate.

Many get sick while traveling.
One major reason is they don’t realize mass transit is high risk because airline CEOs lied about viral spread early in the pandemic and lobbied the CDC to lower precautions.
To make the most of your holiday, take precautions like wearing a mask when you travel!

What I want more than anything is to build a world where gender and all the words and expectations and history are less like a prison and more like a colorful ball pit we get to play around in.
It’s all about context. Like my wife and I still use “wife” even though they’re non-binary, because it feels like such a delicious fuck you to all the people who think we shouldn’t be allowed to be married

Btw this is one of the biggest reasons why it’s not as easy as people think to start up independent newsrooms or just be an indie journalist on substack. If you are actually holding powerful and rich people to account, you WILL need legal representation. Not a matter of whether but when
I say that as someone who has started newsrooms from scratch sometimes with two people - if you’re doing your job correctly you will need a lawyer because the first thing rich people do when you write something they don’t like is threaten you legally. It’s cheap for them and expensive for you

ABA therapy is extremely controversial but one of the reasons these families are so terrified of losing it is ABA centers will provide up to 40 hours of therapy a week. Many of these kids have behaviors that disqualify them from daycare, so ABA placements are the only option for parents with jobs.
Budget shortfalls and nearly $1 trillion in looming federal Medicaid cuts have prompted states to rein in spending on a widely embraced autism therapy, pinching families who depend on the services. n.pr/496jHPj
It's the 'gold standard' in autism care. Why are states reining it in?
