Didn't have a chance to share this in the #dreamforward keynote. If you find yourself anthropomorphizing #AI, this will show you under the hood and stop that reflex:

“We need to rebuild the trust between teachers and students which has broken as a result of #AI —grade 9s
@heidisiwak.bsky.social says, start with IDENTITY as humans & the choices we make around AI @ecooorg.bsky.social #dreamforward #EduSky
There is a VAST difference between #AI access in independent schools & public schools which is only widening the equity gap! That doesn’t even factor in the fact that so many voices & cultures are missing from training data! via @heidisiwak.bsky.social @ecooorg.bsky.social #Edusky #dreamforward
Kids need to understand that #AI is based on vectors and thus we need to help kids understand how knowledge is interpreted by #AI #EduSky #Math #dreamforward

Passage from Oxford Soju Club by Jinwoo Park —- Canadian author
Loving this passage from “Oxford Soju Club” by @jinwoo-park.com
Oh, friends. Such a great thread. @banana29.bsky.social

The room is not sure what to make of the reality of Louisiana that @librarianjones.com is sharing. The idea of generational underlying festering hate is hard for a room full of Canadians to sit with. #OLASC
So lucky to be hearing @librarianjones.com talk about her experience as an "accidental activist" when advocating for books. #OLASC
Nice chat with Cory at the @onlibraryassoc.bsky.social #OLASC!
'Seize the means' indeed. Time to take back control of #tech in our lives.
@librarianjones.com was so chatty as she signed my book. Good luck fighting for @dirtbagg.bsky.social next!! #olasc
“Our movement, however, needs nothing of respectability politics. Accepting — conceding, surrendering, submitting to — that will only erode our movement until it crumbles entirely.”

Judy protesting outside in a line of other individuals with disabilities. Her sign reads "no more negotiations sign 504"
Judy Heumann was known as the Mother of the Disability Rights Movement.
She was a part of almost every major protest, sit in, passing of disability rights legislation, and advocacy group creation.

I’m sure author @katebeaton.bsky.social would agree !
In her 2018 paper on the subject, Daggett argues that traditional masculine identity is inherently tied to the fossil fuel economy. “The narrative of righteous fossil democracy is crucial not only to American identity writ large, but to its hegemonic white masculinities,” she writes. When the narrative of righteous fossil fuel democracy is challenged, it thus becomes interpreted as a challenge to those masculinities. “Through the rosy nostalgia afforded by petro-masculine identity,” Daggett writes, “the affront of global warming or environmental regulations appear as insurgents on par with the dangers posed by feminists and queer movements seeking to leach energy and power from the state/traditional family.”
The connection between fossil fuel money and anti-trans groups makes way more sense once you understand the concept of petromasculinity
It’s the degeneration of democratic institutions like public education and objective journalism that really congests my arteries — an excellent read open.substack.com/pub/chrished...

Donald Trump’s threats to make Canada the fifty-first US state may just be a play for what lies beneath our soil and in our lakes. Journalist Christopher Pollon investigates what the US might want, what Canada stands to lose, and why the stakes keep rising: thewalrus.ca/the-us-badly-nee...

Wayne Chan with the University of Manitoba sent me this picture of a project he completed over the holidays.
It is the log cabin from the Laurentien pencil crayon package built with toothpicks!
Very cool!
What a beautiful cover - does it hold significance for Norwich in particular?
