In light of today’s conversation on academic accommodations, I’m going to revive a thread lost to time when I deleted my Twitter profile. It’s about a bunch of academic accommodations that instructors can offer in lieu of an extension on an assignment. 🧵

Got scraps? Well, scoop 'em! Food Scrap Scoop! Cut the crap, scoop your scraps! The scrap scoop that can't be duped. Improve your mood and scoop your food
A green plastic scoop sitting on a blue lunch tray, a fried chicken sandwich in a brown cardboard takeout boat. The green plastic scoop says "FOOD SCRAP SCOOP". There are icons of a drumstick, burger, and apple each with one bite taken. Text continues:

"Done eating?
1. Place leftover food in the scoop.
2. Drop your scraps off at the green food-only bin.
3z return the scoop to the scoop trolley."

If that's your concern, I have great news! There's no evidence that trans people have any kind of physical advantage in athletics, and some evidence that they may be at a disadvantage.

this administration illegally shut down federal agencies, impounded money from Congress, set up for-profit concentration camps and sent children there. They dismantled our public health infrastructure and children died of measles. Doing accountability for crimes against our Constitution is the work.

Whenever you see a pollster or consultant give a take like this, it’s always worth following the money. In this case, Emanuel has paid Anzalone’s firm nearly $300k (maybe more but that’s what I found so far). A consultant class is devouring the Dem Party www.elections.il.gov/CampaignDisc...

Underestimate @RahmEmanuel at your own risk.
He knows how to win. He knows how to fight.
And he knows how to message.
And no one will out work him. Regardless of whether he wins the Democratic nomination in 2028 he will make an impact on the race. You can be sure of that. Don't take your eyes off of him. At the minimum, learn from him.

If the Mayor & most of City Council DO NOT want to fight for transparency and accountability on LA28's finances, WE WILL. REMINDER: YOU ALL (LA taxpayers) are financially liable for UNLIMITED amounts if the LA Olympics goes over budget. www.latimes.com/california/s...
Los Angeles Times article that savs
LA Olympics organizers limit some financial disclosures. a times review shows
A picture of the LA Colliseum shows below the headline with stadium red seatsOrganizers of the 2028 Summer
Olympics in Los Angeles have given
vague and sometimes incomplete
annual reports to the city on details
of their preparations for what has
been described as the largest athletic
event in the nation's history, records show.

A review by The Times of five vears
of annual reports from LA28 shows
that the organization appears at
times to have curtailed the reporting
requirements that are spelled out in
its 2021 contract with Los AngelesThe private nonprofit organization's
yearly reports haven't outlined
progress on roughly two dozen
venues around Greater Los Angeles.
Nor have they included details about
contracts LA28 signed with companies providing such services as security and preproduction work for the opening and closing ceremonies.The incomplete updates leave the
with less city's taxpayers information than promised on matters such as who is winning business - and the attendant iobs and profits - from contracts that soared to $687 million in value last year. They also don't have as clear a picture on things like the progress on plans to install a running track at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and swimming pools inside SoFi Stadium in Inglewood
