The discursive project of fascism is to convince you that that power dynamics are upside-down. Dominant groups and people are ‘oppressed.’ Marginalized people are in fact dominant ‘oppressors.’

The beneficiaries are the elite of the capitalist class.

A goal of social justice teaching: raising critical consciousness

A goal of neoliberal teaching: customer satisfaction

Book is still out there for purchase, obviously

If you already have it, get your school to buy my book (or assign it in your classes).

LGBTQIA+ people should be included in ELT materials, writes Abner C. da Silva, one of our Brazil-based participants. His essay and the other 29 essays can be found in "Gender equality in English language teaching practice" (https://t.co/jkB5Z80xrE). @brBritish @TeachingEnglish

Blurred out the face and name following my lawyer’s suggestion. Had to delete the previous tweet too.

This is the kind of thing that I have to read on my LinkedIn in a post about trans day of visibility. This kind of aggression, a person saying I should be segregated and use a bathroom that doesn’t even exist. Just imagine what a person who isn’t as privileged goes through.

[Taylor Veigga @TVeigga]

@cintiabcosta And criminal, in both of our contexts 😕

[Taylor Veigga @TVeigga]

@Danilo_ribeiro1 Thank you. It’s not about me, though. It’s about a person who feels confident it is okay to make such a comment on a professional social network about segregating people. All this based on fake news 🤯

Após a mobilização de professores e estudantes, o Governo Lula pretende suspender a implementação do Novo Ensino Médio. A revogação completa dependerá do Congresso, mas já é um avanço. Vamos pressionar. Não podemos deixar o neoliberalismo destruir o futuro dos nossos jovens.

@Danilo_ribeiro1 Eu lembro d vc falando q hospital era complicado. Vc n se registrou em Moscow pq se mudou?

Some problems with accent reduction:

1. accent is not a static object, so it cannot be "reduced"

2. even if an accent were reduced, it does not always change perceptions of the person with the accent

3. accent reduction ignores institutional processes that make accent an issue

@seburnt That doesn’t even count as a joke, it would be too tragic 😩😩😩
