BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

I was anemic for many years and it was exhausting. Iron pills work but they can be hard on the stomach . When you start to feel your levels going low( you will know the feeling), it is important that you eat something or take the iron pills when you feel it coming and not wait.

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti.

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti.

β€œPlease get the truth out about our son.”

Alex Pretti, a VA ICU nurse, was killed by ICE while trying to protect a woman being assaulted.

Trump calls him a β€œmonster” and β€œdomestic terrorist.”

Trust your own eyes. Unlike Trump, the video doesn’t lie.

And expect us to buy the lie that he was dangerous and that they were afraid for their lives. It was six against 1.

There is a distant difference. When something is digitally accessible, it can be navigated, used and enjoyed by everyone with or without assistive technology. Many EdTech tools fall short of the mark.

Saw a post on LinkedIn about EdTech tools with the headline β€œ A+ List for Accessibility β€œ and immediately cringed. First the poster they were sharing did not have good color contrast and several of the tools they shared have β€œaccessibility features” but are not digitally accessible.

I think… a good first step.

Accessories in this pack can be used by any Barbie so that’s a win… hopefully they can follow up with a pack with just the accessories.

Fantastic to see Mattel are working with community groups like ASAN… Shame the reporting from guardian is very medical model focused

I think this is a big win because representation matters. Not perfect, but a great positive step.

Four-panel comic set outdoors in winter. Two adults wearing coats, scarves, and gloves stand outside holding cups of coffee and talking.
Panel 1: One character says, β€œI’m telling you, he keeps a list of people he likes and dislikes…”
Panel 2: The other character responds, β€œHe’s got elves slaving away all year doing menial tasks for little or no pay…”
Panel 3: The first character continues, β€œHe always wears the same vest and he only shows up once a year.”
Panel 4: The second character reacts with surprise and says, β€œSanta Claus is a professor!!” The first character replies, β€œHo, Ho, Ho? It’s the null hypothesis!”
The joke humorously compares Santa Claus to an academic, using traits associated with faculty work and research culture.

This is what academia will do to you in the final stretch β€” even Santa isn’t safe.

Be mindful of and gentle with the ways you use Newtown and Sandy Hook today and tomorrow. Those moms, dads, brothers, cousins, and loved ones are here, dealing a hurt most of us can never understand, over and over again.

Listen to them. Amplify their voices.
