Just tried to delete every previous tweet I've ever made on this platform. I haven't posted anything here since they got rid of the bird, but if you liked the things I used to post, feel free to follow me on Threads (same handle).

For more Florida education fun, @CollegeBoard says @EducationFL misstates AP African American studies process.
"Your letter claims that we removed 19 topics that were present in the pilot framework at the behest of FDOE. This is inaccurate."

Word of the day is 'growlery' (1853, from Charles Dickens): a place you retreat to for the purposes of growling, muttering, and letting off steam.

Mary Shelley did try to warn us about hubristic STEM bros who make strange, impulsive experiments and then watch helplessly as their creation destroys itself at the expense of ordinary people.

James Armstrong's paper 'examines how Dickens skewers the use of nature as a justification for vice,
instead inviting readers to rise above their baser impulses, be those tendencies “natural” or not' #Dickens2022
