Just a casual reminder that in 1861, 11 Senators and 3 Representatives were expelled from Congress for failing to recognize Lincoln’s election and supporting insurrection.
I'm 68 and when I was in elementary school we lined up and were given a sugar cube with the polio vaccine on it. No permission forms. My parents didn't go slug the teacher. In fact, I'm not sure I even mentioned it when I got home
@nytimes it’s ASL not A.S.L. We’ve been requesting you respect the naming convention of our community for decades but you continue to apply your phonocentric rule to our language adding insult to injury every single time. Stop.
Got a 2.4 GPA my first semester in college. Thought maybe I wasn’t cut out for engineering. Today I’ve landed two spacecraft on Mars, and am now designing one for the Moon.
STEM is hard for everyone. Grades ultimately aren’t what matter. Curiosity and perseverance matter.

@katerowley0 Zoom webinar will only allow registered participants to view the recording afterward— so, unlikely ppl would share their Zoom login with others.
While they focused on bathroom bills, “show me your papers” legislation and fighting with sports teams over the Star Spangled Banner, 30 million Texans were left vulnerable to uncontrolled Covid spread, a bungled vaccine rollout and now this “rolling” power blackout. 2/4
@pursuitofreroot My original intent was to recognize the power dynamics between majority-minority languages so Codas can be more accepting of their language use. That it doesn’t need purification. That the ASL “standard” is a bullshit construct.
@pursuitofreroot YES! Not deaf enough. Not ASL enough. HEARING-on-forehead all this junk is toxic. It saddens me that the community using the term “heritage signer” as a means to position themselves and add to this toxicity.
