It appears that #SCOTUS is not yet a complete tool of ultra right, GOP States Rights crowd.

If you remember the Civil War was fought in the South’s perspective not in the name of pro-slavery, but in the name of State’s Rights, the “right to be bad if we want to”. 🙄 The same thinking that insisted on segregation, and today, hostility towards The Voters Rights Act throwing up multiple roadblocks in the way of convienent voting.

Laurillard (2012, p. 222) on teachers and tools. I agree with the sentiment, can't think of many examples from #highered

"...tools have provided the major engine of human development, because they improve the efficiency of human effort (Wolpert 2003). Teachers, as much as any other profession, need custom-built digital tools to help them with their ever more complex working environment. They deserve better support from digital technology."

#Houston #ClimateChange Oppressive 100F heat for weeks, with the prospect of months to come, The garden relies on us and watering to stay alive. The #Texas electrical grid is reported under stress, I hate thinking about electrical failure and loss of AC, pondering why I failed to install a natural gas Generac System. Is it too late? At the time I was just thinking of Hurricanes. 🤔

I was just talking to a neighbor -- who's absolutely lovely, biblically nice guy -- and had to explain this fact.

Black and Latinx folks aren't categorically poorer because we're "dumb". That's just how the country was set up.

When it comes to white supremacy, some folks attribute "intelligence" to what is actually "insidiousness"

One thing JK Rowling got correct in the Harry Potter books was exposing unseen labor: https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/ai-artificial-intelligence-humans-technology-business-factory.html These folks are the “house elves” of tech. (Although Rowling, of course, make house elves mostly content with their slavery.)

Love your local opposum!

Republicans want to block anyone from getting abortions even when one is needed for their health.

Democrats want you to be able to control your body entirely until the point of viability and then to be able to get an abortion when your life is in danger and when doctors knows there’s a serious issue.

That’s the bottom line. One of these two things saves lives and it isn't the Republican position.
