I don't like the expression "working hard". First, it's not "working" in itself that matters, it's achieving outcomes. And second, work should not be hard. You should find work patterns that enable high-volume productivity without incurring a high psychological or physical cost.

🧵On plagiarism + #HiddenCurriculum

Once I received an essay 90% copied from Wikipedia, and called the student for a meeting. I always start with two actions:

👉🏻I show a printout of the Turnitin report and explain that’s why we are meeting

👉🏻I ask if the student is OK

IQ often gets used to promote racism on the internet but it's also highly mathematical so people don't really understand it.

In this thread, I will explain:

1. How the math of IQ works at a high level (don't worry no formulas!)

2. Why IQ is partly socially construct... 🧵👇

An overdue reminder of what can happen when you go to the Moon.

This is a story about how I lost $10,000,000 by doing something stupid.

Ten. Million. Dollars.

Literally up in smoke. Money bonfire.

That’s enough to retire with $250,000+ in annual income.

Here’s what happened…

Make Dua & Remember!

An Islamophobe 2 years ago today killed 51 Muslims & injured 40 in New Zealand as they prayed in a mosque.

As an Imam, I will never forget the solidarity shown by the New Zealand Prime Minister to the Muslim community.

I on the other hand am a cat. I just can’t get this human filter off.

YES!! A federal task force to address #HealthDisparities led by @DrNunezSmith!

A 1st EVER though the problem has been recognized for DECADES.
e.g. Disproportionately higher numbers of African Americans are dying from #COVID19. List goes on.

Thank you @JoeBiden @KamalaHarris

2016: it’s only four years, how bad can it get

2021: are the armed insurrectionists storming the Capitol aware that there is a plague ravaging the land

[Matt Fitzgerald @mattfitwriter]

I don't want to jinx it, but this story has the potential to go a long way toward redeeming 2020.

They were lowering candy to the kids and beers to adults 😭

Here's a puppy riding a rooster.
You're welcome.

Elect Joe Biden so you can read books at night again rather than endlessly doomscrolling twitter.

This makes me miss my mom dearly - so thankful for having a strong women in my life, all mothers rock but mine is the best!

Unpopular (?) opinion here: one positive consequence of everyone being on WFH is that seminar invitations are now online.

As a Seattle-based mom of 3 small kids, I need to limit my trips: it takes 3 days to give 1 talk on the east coast!
