Let’s go! Did you fill up your gas tank. Buy any food or medication you might need?

Sat at my desk today and wrote an email response to a grad student who’s been doing critical work on our team today. They’re feeling grief and despair about the future of the field, dwindling job prospects, and finding ways to care for themselves. They’re not wrong to feel this way. 🧵

There are two people in Congress-the chairs of the Senate & House Appropriations Committees-who have enormous power over the illegal impoundment of funds appropriated by Congress, which is sowing chaos across the US. They need to be relentlessly contacted at their offices, in person and by phone. 1/

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Excerpt from a public letter Roald Dahl wrote encouraging people to vaccinate their children.

Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything.

“Are you feeling all right?” I asked her.

“I feel all sleepy,” she said.

In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead.

The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was twenty-four years ago in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her.

On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunized against measles. I was unable to do that for Olivia in 1962 because in those days a reliable measles vaccine had not been discovered. Today a good and safe vaccine is available to every family and all you have to do is to ask your doctor to administer it.

Just your daily example of how DIVERSITY is a strength. This study looked at patient outcomes for 710,000 hospital operations and found: “Care in hospitals with greater anaesthesia–surgery team sex diversity was associated with better postoperative outcomes.”

When I tell you I’ve been having too much fun at #AERA24 to post please know that it is because I came for the hugs and to see folks. I stayed for the presentations and today I’ll talk in this Division K session. Thanks to Dr. Tia Madkins our wonderful chair.

🎤🎶Hello conference season my old friend, I’m behind on submissions again, maybe an extension will be softly creeping, organizers changing their minds while I am sleeping? But there’s a vision of a poster in my brain, do any typos remain? Echoing in the sounds of deadlines. 🎶🎤

It was a good day, taught this morning and got to watch my students wrestle with creating metaphors to describe their philosophies of education. Then I got to work with my friends and co-authors on an R&R now we have a revised version of our Pedagogies of Joy (POY) paper!

Scholastic Book Fairs is ending their segregated book program. We made ourselves heard.

A letter from the Scholastic corporation that reads "Dear Authors and Illustrators,
I want to update you regarding the Book Fairs Share Every Story/Celebrate Every
Voice case.
First, I want to apologize on behalf of Scholastic. Even if the decision was made
with good intention, we understand now that it was a mistake to segregate diverse
books in an elective case. We sincerely apologize to every author,
illustrator, licensor, educator, librarian, parent, and reader who was hurt by our
action. We recognize and acknowledge the pain caused, and that we have broken
the trust of some of our publishing community, customers, friends, trusted partners,
and sta", and we also recognize that we will now need to regain that trust.
This case will be discontinued starting with our next season in January. For the
remaining fairs in the fall, Book Fairs is working on a pivot plan as we speak. We will
find an alternate way to get a greater range of books into the hands of children. We
remain committed

I didn’t think I’d captured the eclipse on Saturday but I just needed to learn where to look! Look for the green lens flare.

No thank you Scholastic. When I ran the children’s section at an independent bookstore we hosted book fairs with schools and almost every selection would have been in the segregated section. PTOs & schools bypass Scholastic, reach out to your local indie bookstore, and host your own book fair.
