The thing is … people unfortunately and unforgivably do not care. I do not know why.

Is there an #NCTE25 app?!

This semester has been 🗑️ at work and really stressful for me personally bc I am worried about my kid. But you know what? One thing that always makes me feel good is receiving and giving updates back and forth with teachers I've interviewed. No matter what the future holds, I'm so grateful for it. 🌻

I read Uniquely Human at your suggestion and liked it a lot!

Hey #literacies friends. I am headed to #ncte25. Very excited to be back in Denver. During aera, I took an inexpensive Lyft to Red Rocks if you are looking for a few hours to clear your mind! Highly recommend.

Yeah … no. They will not put up with certain things at all. Solidarity.

never fear! one day. :)

oh my gosh ... @kelseyfrancis.bsky.social are you going this year!?

Just starting to orient myself toward #NCTE25 and suddenly remembered how last year I got to sit about 10 feet from Ada Limon while she read poems to me. 🤓🌻

So much gratitude to the GSB Homecoming Planning Committee for inviting us back to guest host tonight. Let us know how else we can support the efforts chatted about tonight. As you could see, there’s lots of love for #literacies chat! We’re here to support the team!

I think it would be good! 8 PM is also a hard time for me as a parent. No time is great for everyone. Slow chat opens up asynchronous participation. #literacies

I'm sure you of anyone can understand, but sometimes a focus on literacy teachers and their lives isn't seen as literacies ...

@deroomat.bsky.social we were friends anyway but I feel like our #literacies twitter chats spurred the Early Career Cohort we co-lead with NCTEAR. Strengthened our friendship and sparked the idea for how we wanted to serve the community.

So much same! I still don't always feel like a #literacies scholar in the "right" way. Yet the online space was a way for me to get to know people's work in a deeper way and feel more included.

Likewise!!

On a nerdy level, I felt like asynchronous or synchronous online writing became a chain in a string of #literacies utterances, including in person interactions months late. Writing as social participation!

I think #literacies chats was where I became familiar with you and your work, @profhsieh.bsky.social ! 💜

For sure! I missed most of the #literacies chat tonight and am catching up. A bunch of doctoral students from MSU were on them from 2015 ish on and I "met" so many scholars and learned about their work that way. Then I met them in person and it was easier to jump right in to conversations.

THANK YOU to Drs. @anna-phd.bsky.social , @esp-phd.bsky.social , and the entire #Literacies chat 'class of 2012' for creating this space built on community, connection, scholarship, practice, and all things #literacies !

Thanks for caring and listening. :)

Oh they are not helpful at all. I'm disgusted!! (but also I'm in education, so I try to be empathetic and know teachers are doing too much, spread too thin). But I'm stuck in a state where the support isn't going to be great and I'm also an academic so moving is .... really hard (and I've tried!!) 😔

Thank you!

Thank you! Yes, we have done social skills group consistently and recently got external support to go to school. I’m just drowning trying to navigate school and I don’t know when the drawbacks outweigh the benefits, tbh.

Why do we have so many resources on reaching a diagnosis but so little on how we can actually better support kiddos once they have the diagnosis?

Do any of my academic friends have suggestions for resources about supporting an autistic child in the first years of school? (hyper verbal, high IQ, serious obstacles in building social relationships). When I search I get a zillion resources about identifying autism... I want to know what to do!

Hochschild is brilliant!! It’s a shame that so many people misuse concepts from her studies, which are fantastic and framed through the lens of labor. Her concepts are about WORK. She just so happened to include women’s uncompensated work in domestic spheres.

What Arlie Hoschild found was that when women entered the workforce en masse in the 20th century, men functionally went on strike from domestic labor—forcing women to take on a double day of wages and caretaking work.

Friends! I wanted to make sure you saw that @writinglit.bsky.social is having a #Literacies Chat Homecoming on 10/28 at 7PM ET. I hope you can come! *Black tie optional

I set ONE work boundary after 6 years of constantly being overly nice and accommodating. And I got email screamed at by a man who I have worked closely with for 6 years, for whom I have always been covering for when he needed it. #academia
