“My philosophy is, you don’t want the job to change you,” Mr. Miller said. “You want to be able to change others on the job — by what you say and what you do.”

I finally finished making an audiobook for Rethinking Disability and Mathematics. Only two years late! Hurrah! I also made some resources to go with it, like Math Homework (a printout with all the math problems in the book to use before you listen or read) ♾️

This Dr. Abbot line is what keeps me going: "We can’t let ourselves succumb to it. Yes, life can suck, it can be unbearable and brutal and ugly and heartbreaking, but it’s also beautiful and hilarious."

‘The Pitt’ finale ends the most important season of television in years The writers and cast of “The Pitt” zagged from ER mayhem to explore an even bigger crisis: disastrous work-life balance. It made for some of the best television in recent memory.

So much of this episode and season is analogous to being a teacher. I am especially feeling the many partial deaths this year
as I teach a group of students with more serious mental health challenges than I've ever seen as a teacher. #EduSky

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called life. Electric word, life. It means forever, and that's a mighty long time. But I'm here to tell you there's something else: The afterworld. A world of never-ending happiness. You can always see the sun, day or night."

In olden times, you'd walk into a shop and look at, say, a cake, decide not to buy it, and walk out of the shop safe in the knowledge that nobody would be following you around with the cake for the next 6 weeks just in case you change your mind.

We Have Achieved Our Goal of Making Everything Worse Than It Was Before “Some people might argue that negotiating yourself out of a situation of your own making only to walk away with less than nothing is no cause for celebration...

"Go ahead, step outside. Breathe. Admittedly, you won’t notice much of a difference because the world today is pretty much the same as it was a few weeks ago, only more unstable. Which, again—and we cannot stress this enough—was the whole point."

So proud that Harsha Devulapalli & I wrote an entire story about this.

Does anyone have data on Renaissance Learning STAR testing at the high school level? My district now has us administer 3x/year, and I'm hoping to organize against the instructional time lost to testing that has little pedagogical value and that has a negative affect on student confidence. #edusky

The surprising reality of how teenage girls still define themselves Despite strides in feminism, why do teen girls still seem to view themselves through the lens of boys?

Something I’ve been grappling with this year as we’ve all been figuring out the role of AI, canned curriculum, and SoR is how to help teachers see the job as an intellectual activity vs. mere content delivery…docents vs couriers, if you will.

I loved this framing and will hold on to it:

"This is where having a both/and mindset is helpful. Where does the responsibility lie in appreciating art?"

Many "why Shakespeare?" pieces end up sounding the same but (unsurprisingly) @mrneibauer.bsky.social pivots multiple times here, towards something that I did not anticipate:

(In a good way)

A screenshot of an opinion by Oliver Kornetzke from August 18th, 2025. There’s a photo of a tired, bloated Donald trump over the opinion that reads: behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill fitting suit: the sleeves of economy, man, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a clansman, the sexism of a back alley creep, and the greed of a hedge fund ghoul – all spray painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a country fair. Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn’t but has always been – arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed, exalted as ambition, and corruption worship like gospel. It is America’s shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol, proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spike, it doesn’t just lose its soul – it shits out this bloated, obscenity, and calls it a leader.

Reupping this cause it’s evergreen and I feel better knowing someone out there called him out like this

So cool! Thanks for sharing.

A photo of a piece of paper with a diagram being drawn. A grey horizontal line is labelled "number line" and has points marked 0,1, a and b. A red line goes across the top left of the page and is labelled "away". A blue line goes acrosds the top right of the page and is labelled "home". A red line parallel to the away line goes up from 1, and meets a blue line parallel to the home line that goes down to a. A green line goes from 0 through the point where red turned to blue and continues upwards. It's labelled "turn line". One hand holds a ruler in place through the point marked b parallel to the "away" line, while the other hand holds a red marker and draws a line along the ruler to finish on the green line marked "turn line".

New blog post about my method of doing addition and multiplication using the geometry of parallel lines. It's called "Home & Away: Gometric Arithmetic". davidkbutler.xyz/2026/04/10/h...

An FAQ About Your New Birth Control: The Music of Rush 4/19/23 5/1/24 4/11/26

"No one has ever gotten pregnant while listening to the music of Rush. Clinical studies show that when combined with watching a male sexual partner play air bass along to the extended solo in 'Freewill,' the contraceptive efficacy of Rush approaches 100 percent."

Near the end of 2017, the United States Navy filed a notice of intent to begin purchasing human cadavers from the University of Southern California. The purpose: Use dead bodies in trauma surgery training for the Israeli Defense Forces. Since that notice, the Navy has paid USC more than $860,000 for at least 89 “fresh cadaver bodies,” 32 of which were used specifically for IDF training at Los Angeles General Medical Center. One contract is still ongoing. The Navy has already paid USC over half a million dollars, but the most recent contract allows for an additional $225,000 worth of cadavers to be purchased at the Navy’s discretion, which would bring USC’s total earned for the last seven years to nearly $1.1 million. While the three contracts in question make up less than 1% of USC’s 367 contracts with the Navy, Annenberg Media was unable to locate any other U.S. university that had similar contracts involving the IDF. (See the other contracts here and here.)

USC is selling bodies that were likely donated to the university for medical training to the US Navy to literally train the IDF, seemingly without family consent.

This is per reporting by USC’s own journalism school.

“This is not an argument against the use of education technology. During the pandemic, millions of students relied heavily on virtual learning platforms to facilitate access to education while schools and colleges were closed. This is just one of many positive examples of how technology can be used well. “However, in its aftermath, some schools rely upon screens for most aspects of learning, even for children as young as five. One-to-one screen availability has been heralded as an achievement, but we have no awareness of how student learning and socialization may be affected by prolonged screen time. “Schools and colleges are rapidly embracing Al as though they are in a race, with little understanding of how it will impact the quality of learning experiences. Many students are already using many of these tools and are often more adept with them than their teachers, who are also using them. Meanwhile, tech companies actively market their services and tools, and sometimes even give their products away for free, in the hope that such investments will lead to further penetration of the education market in the future.”

“Computer scientist Cal Newport has demonstrated that many ed tech tools are undermining our ability to concentrate and think deeply. We need more research and feedback from practitioners to assess the impact of ed tech tools on learning before they are widely adopted and implemented. “The education sector helped create the social media crisis by looking the other way as kids became addicted to screens. We now have an opportunity, and an obligation, not to repeat these kinds of mistakes with artificial intelligence. Let's proceed thoughtfully, with an awareness that our future is at stake.” “Pedro Noguera is dean of the USC Rossier School of Education.”

Although Noguera explicitly states he isn’t arguing for a moratorium on all ed tech, he really seems to be making a pretty good argument for it here …

… and I’ve definitely been thinking about what some sort of “reset” for students AND teachers might look like … thehill.com/opinion/educ...
