Rachel Lambert, prof at UCSB, teacher!

Graph showing women's time on market work increasing from 20 to 30 hours a week from 1975 to 2015 while time on housework decreases from 25 to 15. Men's hours stays the same. Time with kids increases from 6 to 12 over the same period.

This is the first graph from the book, which shows that the increase in work hours for women and decrease in housework time (bc of time-saving technology) exactly offset each other. But that increase in childcare time? Unaccounted for. We spend twice as much time with our kids as a generation ago!

We ain't buying it!

New Study: Gender-Affirming Care Dramatically Lowers Suicide Risk for Trans Kids Twenty-seven states in the US ban gender-affirming treatments for trans youth, including hormone therapy.

"[G]ender-affirming care saves lives."

"Suicidality scores among the [study's] patients who provided responses dropped by over 67 percent."

"[O]f the hundreds of patients who started hormone therapy, only seven discontinued their treatment."

Thank you for a great piece. Math test scores are a Rorschach test- everybody interprets them to fit a preferred narrative, yet no narrative actually makes a ton of sense. Although the California stuff you present rings true with what I see in schools. SLOW progress, COVID!, back to SLOW progress

#ITeachMath #EduSky I urge all educators to watch @drtanksley.bsky.social describe multiple studies that show LLMs and other machine learning are antiBlack, increase the achievement gap in math, and target Black students. Chilling. Do not uncritically allow these technologies around our children.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Don't let AI do your homework, Pope Leo tells US youth Artificial intelligence may be a useful tool for learning, but don't use it for your homework, Pope Leo told about 15,000 U.S. youth during a question-and-answer session on Friday.

"The humanities really are a resource — a confidence for living in our times.” Dean Sara Guyer on the modern utility of humanities degrees This interview originally appeared on the Division of Arts

"While other universities report that the humanities are shrinking, at Berkeley, the opposite is true. The music major is the fastest-growing major on campus. We are finding bigger classrooms because film is exploding. English is back to the numbers we saw 15 years ago. We are hiring" bit.ly/4ohKuOe

Great starter pack with tons of quality nonprofit news sources. A great way to move beyond the big sources and get quality news on topics that matter to you!

Very Extra broadsides are my favorite letterpress genre to make. You can tell this one isn't done yet from there still being significant white space. (Uses my recent acrylic PC & wood skeleton lasercut blocks, which both came out well, as well as my wood Luddite lasercut block) #DHmakes

Learning with AI falls short compared to old-fashioned web search Doing the mental work of connecting the dots across multiple web queries appears to help people understand the material better compared to an AI summary.

New research supporting the radical proposition that trying to learn something works better than not trying.

Moms for Liberty Shut Out Nationwide with Every Candidate Losing in 2025 Elections - UOMOD In a stunning rebuke, Moms for Liberty candidates failed to win a single contested race in the November 4, 2025 elections.

Great news for ed! Stunning defeats from the regressive, divisive and racist group that was infiltrating school boards, from the article "Moms for Liberty candidates lost all 31 contested races nationwide in the November 2025 elections, marking a complete national shutout." #EduSky #AcademicSky

Biggest shocker at my talk today, which is consistent with my other talks and media stuff, is that the acceptance rate for men and women are different at highly selective institutions. Men have a much higher acceptance rate because most colleges are scared to go beyond a 60/40 ratio.

What a great story about a great initiative!

Any opinions/experiences on how to distribute an audiobook? I have recorded it on my own dime, I own audiobook rights (book itself is already published for teachers, doing well). I don't want to hand my hard-earned work to Amazon, but are there options? #EduSky #AcademicSky #MTBOS

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :

KEEP SHARING YOUR STORIES about increased ACA premiums due to the disappearance of subsidies. The stories clearly are having an impact, they help people feel less helpless, and they create solidarity that leads to action.

Mine went from $395→ $821. What happened for you?

this is where I go first

the Journal for Research in Mathematics Education is currently accepting proposals for upcoming Special Issues -- and we want your ideas to lead the next big conversations in the field.

Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders. After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.

We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.

If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇

Furious Liberals Call for Schumer to Step Aside, Senate Dems Mostly Quiet After their shutdown surrender, liberal lawmakers are begging their base to unite behind them anyway – as Trumpland celebrates that their opposition is a bunch of 'p*ssies.'

MoveOn, Indivisible, Our Revolution, and 6 Democrats have called on Chuck Schumer to step aside as leader.

So we asked all 40 Democratic senators who didn’t cave to Republicans if they still think Schumer is the right leader.

Here's what they said.

It’s wild to suggest this is a circular firing squad or something when it’s millions of citizen Democrats who hate it versus 47 elected Democrats who conspired to surrender for nothing.

We’re not fighting “each other,” we’re fighting you. There’s only a few dozen of you, but you hold all the power.

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

Young people in NYC absolutely showed out and there should be 1000 articles and profiles about this. Because we have had to put up with 1000 MAGA diner stories for years now.
