Even the Seattle Times agrees: @chrisreykdal.bsky.social is right to suggest using the millionaire's tax to plow billions into public schools and offer a property tax cut as well. Win-win.
I just wrote a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social letter: ❗Take Action: Pass SHB 2257 to Fix Tax Burden on Schools . Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/take...
Hey, does anyone want to go see @puptheband.bsky.social in Vancouver tonight? I have two tickets and can’t make it!
Really, really agree with this piece from Huffpo. We don't have to accept the aura of AI inevitability. We can, and should, refuse to engage with it in our classrooms (and elsewhere, but especially in the classroom!)
A third-year PhD advisee of mine is interested in remote summer research associate/fellowship opportunities. She already knows about RAND's summer associate program . . . are there others?
Any teachers out there? Ramping this back up again and figured I would advertise.
I am on the National Weather Service National School Outreach Team. We are composed of various NWS meteorologists across the country that give school talks about the weather. We can use just about any online platform.

So, uh... I just did a Google search which was not about homework... because I haven't been in school in decades, and I got this pop up from Google. And, like, I actually think there are ways to use AI in school properly, but this kind of advertising from Google seems... super sketchy.

Dressing like a guy in Andor now. My shirt collar is also part of my jacket somehow. My tie is some kind of strap. I have two capes on.
The Earth doesn’t “go around the Sun” the Earth goes in a straight line through an area of spacetime that bends around the Sun and I think that’s neat.
And meanwhile, a lot of educators are sending a similar message to young people. When they get super militant about students using AI to "cheat" on assignments, they're sending the message to students--what AI can do is better than what you can do on your own.
“However bad everyone on the outside thinks it is, it is a million times worse. They’re dismantling and destroying everything.”
Read, share, respond. Call your representatives.
The health and well-being of Americans & America's innovation economy are at stake.

One of my very largest pet peeves, as someone who grew up farming is when the advice to ppl who largely live in small spaces and have a full time job is “grow your own food” when most first time gardens produce enough to make a tomato sandwich and enough rage to fuel a jet engine
I could be wrong about this but I really think most Americans do not want to be forced to “do their own research” about food & drug & product safety and would rather that the government agencies that have been sorting that all out for them for decades not be obliterated in the name of “efficiency.”

Today on Volts: you may have noticed that some climate/energy types (like me) have become obsessed with housing & urban land use lately. Why? Why are they climate issues? What's the connection? The great @mateosfo.bsky.social and I attempt to answer those questions.
It's always an open question whether states -- which generally must balance their budgets every year -- will be willing to take on the expenses Washington is trying to shed.
Excellent op-ed from Kevin Litwack, a Seattle Public Schools parent who is appalled at the state's ongoing failure to fund public schools -- and who explains why our richest residents should help provide the money to do so.
And I'm out. I'm on the RIF list, as are many others at the Institute of Education Sciences (IES). It was truly an honor to work as a civil servant at IES on education research, a topic I care deeply about! Here's to the next fight and to rebuilding what has been destroyed.
Oh my god

The entire business model of American R1 universities is not viable without restoration of federal funding, & every individual institution pretending it can solve this problem alone is also not viable. University presidents need to be speaking out, collectively & loudly about this, in DC, right now.
