@guckert_k @MUEngLib @npfannen @JessMFH Violence over care, again and again. It’s truly disheartening

If you change "my students are so disengaged right now" to "my students are living through trauma, grief, chaos, and looking at a bleak future" does that make any kind of difference?

[Emily Baldys @ebaldys]

Good stuff here, @guckert_k

When it comes to work and school accommodations, it can be hard to know what to ask for. What are some accommodations that you've used or think others should know about?

[Disabled Academic Collective @DisabledAcadem]

What are the most helpful accommodations you've gotten for school or work? Feel free to DM if you want us to post anonymously! Let's make sure everyone knows what they can ask for, and can imagine meaningful supports #DisabilityTwitter #AcademicChatter

Wearing a mask is a powerful statement. It says:

‘I care about myself and those around me’

‘I won’t be gaslit’

‘I reject disinformation’

‘I don’t cave in to peer pressure’

[Emily Baldys @ebaldys]

Great stuff here

[thread: teaching methods / participation]

i see a lot of content this term about lack of/no participation, inactive engagement, silent classes... etc. my class is here to show you some alternate ways into participation that are multimodal, disability friendly and udl designed.

Spring semester DS syllabus is going to be 🔥

[Emily Baldys @ebaldys]

This is beautifully explained

[J. Logan Smilges @jlsmilges]

If it’s true that our classrooms are microcosms of society, then what does it say about society when students who can’t attend, participate, or learn in the same ways as others are punished? The ableism of society is reproduced in the classroom, taught as a structural relation.

[just E @redhotdisabled]

the easiest way to be an ‘ally’ to the disabled community right now is to wear a mask—even when you’re the only one in the room doing it.

if it feels awkward, imagine how awkward it is to care more about what other people think than actual lives 🤷

[Emily Baldys @ebaldys]

@MUEngLib @millersvilleu Thanks so much!

[Emily Baldys @ebaldys]

@guckert_k Three cheers for good news! It’s hard to come by in these times, but very welcome!
