I am the FATE Director at OpenStax, interested in what open educational resources can do to improve access and learning.

There’s a real danger in developing AI policy behind closed doors where industry outnumbers civil rights orgs, unions & critical thinkers.

Things may be a bit fuzzy in AI these days, and yet, that's the best part! Love these people! Super stoked about doing a workshop on Prototyping Social Norms and Agreements in Responsible AI tomorrow 🔥https://t.co/JBzjdxoYKC

92% of school meal programs are facing supply chain & labor challenges, but #childnutrition waivers that have helped are set to expire on June 30. @JohnCornyn @SenTedCruz, please pass the bipartisan Support Kids Not Red Tape Act to #KeepKidsFed this summer and beyond.

Nurses are heroes. Helping to amplify with @txuujm

[National Nurses United @NationalNurses]

Too many nurses and other health care workers suffer from #WorkplaceViolence. We won't accept this as normal!

Our employers must do more to protect us. If nurses aren't safe, our patients aren't safe.

[Katherine Fletcher @kefletcher]

Sending gratitude to @HLGBTQCaucus for all the hard work over the years. I always value your election guides, because I can be sure the recommendations side with love.

[Katherine Fletcher @kefletcher]

Send a message of solidarity to Ascension Seton nurses! https://t.co/E5mrzlZyC3

[Katherine Fletcher @kefletcher]

Nurses are often at the intersection of compassion and science, and we depend on them for our health.
This NBC investigation found HCA has been shortstaffing its hospitals, and in Texas they staff 25% less than other comparable hospitals.

.@RepFletcher @JohnCornyn @SenTedCruz Title 42 violates our moral and legal obligations to welcome those in search of a safe place to call home. We must restore a working and just asylum system!

AJL Official Statement on Blueprint for #AIBillofRights:

@ProfJasmine This American Life's most recent episode is about the electoral maps in Ohio (https://t.co/Pzwe8pGwAX) as is this New Yorker article: https://t.co/iIAl87wqwd

Folks in Ohio voted to make maps representative, but political tactics so far have kept that from coming to fruition.

Free and flexible textbooks and resources - @OpenStax
Geared towards college level but there are a number of high school resources worth exploring.
Test banks, answer guides, slide decks, Google Forms quizzes, PDFs - the resources are extensive

A composite image from this morning's eclipse showing the moon in various stages throughout the night. The size and shape of Earth's shadow is clearly visible here. These events are absolutely magical to witness and quite surreal.

Rice’s @Rice_Biz released its first annual DEI report, showing the school has taken action toward fostering a culture of respect and opportunity. Check out the whole report here: https://t.co/XZUZcQOod9

[Katherine Fletcher @kefletcher]

Moshe suggests a slight change to Rice University's mission, centering public good -- "path-breaking research and unsurpassed teaching for betterment of our world”.

[Moshe Vardi @vardi]

What is the public good? My favorite definition was provided by Hammurabi almost 4,000 years ago: “to further the well-being of humankind.” https://t.co/69sLzP5Gfp

[Jenny Molloy @jenny_molloy]

Together, @goshcommunity has come a long way in advancing #openhardware for science in the last 5 years. In this session, we surfaced recommendations from >50 unconference sessions at #GOSH2022 and suggested four as collective community projects that we could achieve in 2 years.

[Katherine Fletcher @kefletcher]

The replies to this are really interesting and great fuel for education design, policy work, and ed-tech. @OpenStax

[edutopia @edutopia]

What are the 3 biggest tasks that should be removed from teachers’ plates?

[Texas Organizing Project @TXOrgProject]

Connecting with voters at their doorstep is one important way how we build power in our communities and transform our state for the better.

Good seeing you, @Jon_RosenthalTX!

Let’s keep fighting for a #TexasForAll.

[Algorithmic Justice League @AJLUnited]

It's only been four years since the pioneering work of #GenderShades, and look how far we've come. Thank you @Abebab and @nature for honoring this work: https://t.co/q6TlLCSKjD
