@shengokai ❤️I'd be very grateful, but don't want to make more work for you if there is something else to point to. I've been following you for a while and really like your take on the field, especially the intersections with race and disability and issues.

@shengokai Also, I went to grad school with your colleague, Dr. Weimin Sun -- if you get a chance, tell him I said hi!

@joshua_r_eyler Ha! Yes, that’s the news they play on gas pumps at Kwiktrips all across the north. Annoying, cheerful, and fast-paced but mostly apolitical and reaching an audience of people who need your message.

I often talk about adding alt text to images, but I never actually talk about what makes good alt text, for people who are unsure. So here's my perspective as a sighted person who sometimes uses a screen reader.

Tips for writing alt text for images and gifs:

@keleftheriou @siracusa @AppStore Thanks for pointing this out! Another aspect to it are the ads sequences that run in otherwise “kid friendly” (even under 12) games. Seeing ads in those games were how we learned that these bad apps existed in the first place.

You bore us. If science is a “commitment to truth” shall we site all the historical non-truths perpetuated by scientists ? Of course not. It’s not science vs Philosophy ... It’s Science + Philosophy. Elevate your Thinking and Consciousness. When you measure include the measurer.

So is there like a test I can take to tell if I am human or if I am dancer?

The Wonder Years premiered 33 years ago today (1988) depicting events 20 years earlier (1968). A similar show today would be set in 2001.

@curriculargeek But are you the boots in the corner? Or the boat asleep in its boathouse?

@joshua_r_eyler Is it just effective teaching, though, or is there a deeper problem with whiteness and patriarchy (“great men” theories of history and philosophy) basically being the liberal arts tradition until the mid-20th century?

What a year today has been.
