Today I facilitated two workshops on #Neurodivergence, and my resounding takeaway is that people are more aware of their need for, and even hungry for, information to build more inclusive educational cultures. That's a big, big win, in case you were needing good news today.

At least 5 dead as thousands flee raging wildfires in Los Angeles area: Live updates | CNN Massive wind-driven fires in Los Angeles County have killed at least five people and left others with โ€œsignificant injuries.โ€ Follow for live updates.

This should be obvious but sometimes obvious things need to be said out loud: If you're not in the LA area, don't expect much out of folks there for the next several days except that they are going to be busy either surviving or trying to help their neighbors.

I know I'm late to the game, but I finally read @thetattooedprof.bsky.social's book, Radical Hope.

I starred so many passages, and found myself constantly nodding along and even saying "Yes!" aloud, too. What an important contribution to #HigherEd!

I had the pleasure of writing an endorsement for @liznorell.bsky.socialโ€™s book, The Present Professor. Happy to see that many are already reading it. The timing is just right for this refreshing read, and the cover is gorgeous. I hope that it finds its way onto many reading lists. #Teaching
