#ActuallyAutistic educator, writer, bibliophile who already loves your dog(s). Opinions are mine. Out now, my book <The Present Professor>! https://www.oupress.com/9780806194691/the-present-professor/
This video is imparting genuinely amazing news about the shingles vaccine, but also contains a description of vaccines that made me laugh so hard I had to sit down. “We inject the dead version so that when the live one shows up it knows we’ve killed before” is both accurate and SO FUCKING FUNNY
I'm just a social scientist, once again asking the people of the world to consult one of us before deploying survey instruments. 🤦🏻♀️🫠
It's gooooooooood. And Paul is a lovely human. 💜
I don't fundamentally disagree with your point, but this graphic makes as much sense as the US map with counties in red and blue. Square mileage doesn't vote/pay taxes; people do. As someone else mentioned, those GOP counties are much more sparsely populated.
“Our findings redefine SARS-CoV-2 infection as a condition of long-lasting immune compromise.”
At this point, I genuinely have no ability to comprehend how is anyone not scared sh*t-less about the long-term consequences of infections, especially on kids?

What a beautiful piece! I'm preparing to give a talk to faculty at month's end that leans on reflection, and I'm loving this notion that pedagogical challenge become easier (possibly even solved) when we engage in reflection. #HigherEd
This is amazing. Why didn't I think about a similar campaign for The Present Professor?! 🤦🏻♀️
A banner that reads "I'm Presenting! CLASS 2026: Conference on Learning and Student Success" Tuscon, AZ, April 15-18.
So excited to be presenting with @josheyler.bsky.social, @liznorell.bsky.social, and @thetattooedprof.bsky.social on "The Case against Using GenAI in Education: Meeting the Moment with Care and Courage" at AAC&U's CLASS conference! April 17, 11am. It's going to be so much fun!
In communication with non-autistics, autistics "are constantly on high alert, overthinking how their words might be misinterpreted" & "often try to read between the lines, which is tiring & can lead to speaking less or feeling less confident" www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... mixed methods study
Scientists: "Food gives you energy"
Me after eating:
A hotel thermostat displays an indoor temperature of 59° F.
My friend and I went to NYC in early January and slept with the window ajar. It was 59° when we woke up the next morning. We felt triumphant.
Today I traveled from 75°+ Nashville to Boston, where there's probably going to be snow tomorrow, and I'm like a husky on her best day ever.
Big shout-out to Logan airport, which has "arriving aircraft" and "departing aircraft" signage on the roads, so you don't get stuck in a Dave Barry-esque brainteaser: "I'm arriving at the airport, but then I'm departing for..."
Hahaha yes it does! 🤦🏻♀️ I'm having a perimenopause hot mess of a Saturday, I'm afraid. 🫠
When **IT came out. 🤦🏻♀️😂
This is all new to me, but the headline I saw earlier felt a bit sweeping in its claims of Tetris as a magic solution. I'll dig in more soon--this is fascinating!
.
I played so much Tetris on my original game boy when I came out that I dreamed of falling blocks for at least a year in my early teens.
Speaking of op sec...😂
I don't know a lot about Tetris for trauma & only just heard about this hypothesis 3 skeets above yours, but there's something about repetitive play that engages a different part of the brain & allows for a wee bit of dissociation. Says the woman who plays spider solitaire at least 100 rounds/day.
Congress must return immediately and vote to put an end to this war.
Every Senator should be on the record—the American people deserve to know which of their leaders supports another potentially bloody and costly war in the Middle East.
No war with Iran.
I saw a Bluesky post about this earlier and thought... um, kind of an important thing to note, folks. Also: In what universe does it make sense to disallow calculators on a test like this?!
She is ICONIC in episode 9. 🔥🔥
They DEFINITELY should've asked you, yes.
I'm begging the people decrying a moral panic about Epstein to read a book, any book, on the topic. Moral panics involve:
1) Media-driven falsity
2) Panic over ongoing and future threats, not accountability for past actions
3) Calls for draconian policies
That's not what's happening.
@lizzieohreally.bsky.social (and the whole team at @slate.com) consistently make my life better. Like this 👇
Seriously, I was just driving to pick up my dog from daycare and this thought occurred to me. If this doesn't happen to you, you *might* be #Neurotypical. 😂
Apropos of absolutely nothing, this afternoon my #Neurodivergent brain popped out this research Q: Do neurodivergent ppl notice the gorilla more often than neurotypicals? I offer this RQ up to anyone who wants to investigate. #Psychology #Research #AcademicSky www.npr.org/2010/05/19/1...
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.
Recommend this relatively short survey about what resources could help meet accommodation needs. It took just a few minutes and asks thoughtful questions about how things could be improved
Thanks for sharing!
This is the way. 🐻
