@DrSZuckerman It's throwing me off an unreasonable amount. I didn't like the direction the platform was headed, but this serves as an ever-present visual reminder of the ick.

"The only thing that crushes the spirit of academic workers more than legislative attacks on our profession is the silence of people in a position to do something about it." 👏👏👏

@DrSZuckerman This makes me sad! Aela sends tiny mews in solidarity. Also, Charlie and Harold are excellent cat names. Distinguished 🤌

@DrSZuckerman Ooph, that's a lot to hold. Take care of yourself too.

@FromPhDtoLife I'm am *literally* doing this right now! I've been consulting on this topic for about 6 mo and this tracks with everything I've heard. Always looking for more participants though :)

@derylhatch Considering I still have my quant classes to finish, this is...terrifying and interesting simultaneously. 😅🙃

[Alex Zatizabal Boryca @AZBoryca]

@lizgross144 Curious! I agree in principle and believe we should push for this future; I also believe there exists beneficial applications in practice (e.g. conversational learning as a thought partner and a mechanism to explore critical thinking skills). Thoughts? https://t.co/2jZ9gFJY41

@kevinrmcclure Thank you for your work this year and dedication to supporting educators, especially when we're all burned through. May 2023 bring you the clarity you've given so many this year. 🙏

[Alex Zatizabal Boryca @AZBoryca]

@AGVielma Done 😀

@ErinKingIDTS @breakartyman Stopped for pics, stayed for words. Poetry, @ErinKingIDTS 🤌

[Alex Zatizabal Boryca @AZBoryca]

@kevinrmcclure Yes! And it absolutely creates tension. University of Nebraska Omaha falls into this category. The Lincoln campus is on its way to creating a staff Senate, which is a step in the right direction but not nearly far enough for the protections you're getting at.

@BryanAlexander I read every word in his voice.
