All of this. I also want to add that, in my research, I found that a lot of “inconsistencies” in a victim’s story actually came from gender bias affecting investigators’ record keeping and interview methods.

Also a cool thing? Getting SO many emails sharing about how this is now happening in many classrooms in many places after @cultofpedagogy.bsky.social let me share about it this past summer! More peer affirmations in more places? Also: very cool! www.cultofpedagogy.com/peer-affirma...

If folks in the Democratic party cannot find it within themselves to be absolute staunch supporters of trans people's rights because trans people are people who have inherent worth, then they should at least do it because if we give up on trans people, then we're literally giving up on democracy.

Every one of those brave and inspiring people you hear about on the news was exhausted and terrified the whole time. They were sad and angry and wanted to crawl into a hole and not come out. They wished they could have stayed in bed. Then they did it anyway. But they did it scared and sad and tired.

I’m so grateful to @epi.org for creating and circulating this chart as exhibit one in this phenomenon because so much of the source of this disparity, somany of the difficulties of teaching and so many of the problems in education are gender all the way down.

Let me recap: the MPD is 30 million over budget, helped Lang plan his riot, set up barricades for him, let him drive multiple vehicles into a crowded area, one of the cop had their foot run over, and now we can’t press charges because the cops are in on it in the first place.

This piece is great and I wish to staple it to several scientists' foreheads. And while it's about the creation of text, I think it also applies to writing codes, since many (for example, cosmological) codes are publicly available, which means LLMs have vacuumed them up.

An air quality alert is in effect from this Tuesday morning through Friday morning across most of central and northern MN. Heavy smoke from several large wildfires across northeast Minnesota and Ontario will continue to move into northeast Minnesota behind a cold front through Tuesday. Very heavy smoke is expected across the Arrowhead today, as large wildfires continue to spread. AQls may reach Maroon (hazardous) at times in Lake, Cook, and northern St Louis counties.

Well, debating teacher autonomy versus teaching consistency is all the rage on LinkedIn, apparently. But when a well balanced post is written, hardly anyone reads it. People still want one-sided hot takes, it seems. christianmooreanderson.com/the-problem-...
A graph with two axes:
X = Collectively gain capacity (discretionary capacity made available by coordinating a way of teaching).
Y = Teacher's retained autonomy (discretionary capacity still available for coordinating a way of doing a curriculum).
There are two positions with higher teacher autonomy than collectively gained capacity: Siloed teaching, and systems in which there are shared general ideas.
The other positions gain more from coordinating. Shared scripts gives the worst outcome in terms of collectively gained capacity and teacher autonomy (giving the system a low capacity). Shared curricular EdTech platforms reduce the teacher's autonomy to low levels also, but can offer greater capacity through, for example, compiling lots of data on learning. Shared lesson structures and activities across teachers retains some teacher autonomy (the teacher can still decide what to say and do in lessons), and there are some gains from collective capacity through the networked sharing of ideas and resources. Finally, the best position for preserving teacher autonomy and gaining from coordination is a system of shared teacher principles and emergent resources. All is explained in the post.

This is also a very clear demonstration of how "we'll pretend it's over and the weirdos can just mask" and, more generally, relying on masks as a long-term solution individualizes a problem that should be addressed structurally. Masks are NOT, actually, universally accessible. Clean indoor air is.*

If you are worried your town is next - start organizing now. Make connections. Talk with five neighbors. Start those signal groups for your school or neighborhood. And know that every bit of organizing you do now will pay off tenfold when ICE comes to your community. 2/2

I've been saying it a lot, but these deaths line up with what happened in early concentration camps during other regimes: Deaths from poor conditions, disease, or abuse. These deaths are not accidental. They are the direct result of a camp system that is designed to harm those being imprisoned.

Federal agents in MN have yet to slow down using aggressive tactics, racial profiling, and trampling on well-established rights. I joined a group this weekend to make a reminder that as long as our neighbors are threatened by ICE, we will do our best to take care of each other.
