I've also lived in New York long enough that those pictures just look like the randos on the street who you hope you don't have to stand behind on line at the coffee shop because they're definitely getting the matcha latte with 17 added flavors

I counted up the number of ways (platforms, accounts, apps) that people in my professional and personal lives plus healthcare systems and kid’s school are contacting me and uhh. This is objectively impossible.

I don't think the authors I've been reading are Online, but you should be able to turn up a bunch of good stuff with that phrase on Google Scholar! And didn't mean to sound like a scold at all. I hope you find something interesting!

The end of federal enforcement of special ed laws. Some states - including MN - will likely be ok. But a lot of disabled kids in a lot of states are going to lose the education that federal law and decades of jurisprudence say they are owed.

Education Department wipes out special ed office in shutdown layoffs, union says

The Education Department laid off nearly everyone at the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services.

This is why modern biometric privacy laws must not exclude employee data.

Ah yeah, good point! Computer scientists are being asked to justify their existence in universities for the first time in generations, too, and I think it sets up the conditions to be overly credulous when someone offers you a solution

You have to really *try* to convince a 20-year-old that it’s not worth asking what justice or freedom or social good is. They don’t come by that incuriosity naturally.

week 7, in a city under siege for 32 days and counting, and the students who are able to come to class despite the blitz are showing up like their lives depend on those 50 minutes of togetherness, poetry, and big questions

Miriam Posner @miriamposner.com · 2d

IDK, man. School started 2 weeks ago for us, and once again students remind me that they’re so curious and interested in the world and anxious to ask big questions. We hear that these questions are no longer useful or relevant, but wherever that’s coming from, it’s not what students believe.

If you’re an archaeologist and have never done Skype A Scientist, I urge you to give it a try. It’s a lot of fun!

Sarah McAnulty, Ph.D. @sarahmackattack.bsky.social · 2d

Here I am. Once again. I'm out of archaeologists.

We matched 576 groups w/archaeologists, leaving 13 groups unmatched. This brings me pain! We've never run out of scientists like this before. 598 requests for one category is A LOT. But still.

Archaeologists 🥺
