Don’t worry parents. The cult 47 moms in one of my IEP/Special Education support groups have the answer. If your state is not doing right by your kid, just move. 🙄
Hey “Back to the states” crowd. Standards of learning and curriculum is ALREADY determined at the state level. What exactly do you think is being “sent back?” It sure as hell won’t be funding.
It’s ED’s turn. 🤦♂️👇

So, this website has existed since 2006. Did someone tell DOGE that they can look here first? 🤷♂️
“For example, children or people who are intellectually disabled. One of the reasons the Supreme Court prohibited the execution of the intellectually disabled is because, due to their impairments, they are more susceptible to wrongful conviction. The Order could even result in the government being allowed to execute people for crimes where no loss of life occurred.”

If you have a child with Special Needs, you know how much your child depends on Medicaid, the ED, IDEA, and more. I just called my senator to demand that he fight Musk’s hostile takeover of the government. 5calls makes it easy.
You guys. The amount of brainwashed, ignorant cultists in my Special Education/IEP support groups is astounding. They refuse to acknowledge what is happening and believe that departments can’t be dismantled without Congress. 🤦♂️
IF YOU VOTED FOR TRUMP, I HATE YOU.
Thankfully, I don’t have access to your social security number and other private information to seek revenge. I’m not a government official.
ELON MUSK DOES HAVE ACCESS TO YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER AND MORE RIGHT NOW.
If you are a republican or even voted for Trump, I’m sure this is not what you voted for. Call, write, email your republican leaders and tell them HELL NO!
Meet Gavin Kliger. One of the 19-24 year olds aiding Musk in his attempt at a hostile government takeover.
Meet Luke Farritor. One of the 19-24 year olds aiding Musk in his attempt at a hostile government takeover.
Pretty sure this is another one working with Musk to gain illegal access to government systems.
The list from the Wired article about the 19-24 year old engineers helping Musk illegally take over government systems.

Individual links for vaccine information sheets for individual vaccines from the CDC are taken down. As of right now the “download all” link still works on this site.
And there it is. A bill introduced to terminate the Department of Education.
Unelected. Unintelligent. Unconstitutional. Trumpers will ruin us all.
When news outlets report that illegal actions from felon 47 like the federal funding freeze affect “real people,” do they think everything else he’s done affects AI people? WTF. Do better.
Merit-based hiring ya’ll. 🙄
Post Trump Department of Education releases its first bit of propaganda.
Rakuten, the company behind Kobo still has a DEI page. Just saying.
There’s a p25 tracker here. Maybe share with your family that still believes it wasn’t the plan all along. 🤷♂️
How about canceling cancer research for an issue that reaches across the aisle. What now Trumpers?
“Chrystal Starbird, an assistant professor of biology and a cancer researcher at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s School of Medicine, had been planning for months to attend a study section next week where nearly 60 grants were set to be reviewed, but she got word a couple of days ago that it was canceled.”

Special education students benefit from school integration. It doesn’t always happen

This will negatively impact special education. We tried to tell you Trump humpers.

Most of the studies I have seen in reading comprehension / learning favors physical books. One of the reasons is the distraction inherent in reading digital books on devices. This doesn’t really apply to dedicated e-readers though. Anyone know of studies / discussions that does a direct comparison with a dedicated device vs paper books?

In times like these I like to think that somewhere, out there, Johnny Gasparini is still searching for his, adjusted for inflation, $5.86.
About. Damn. Time.

I never did read the Dragonlance novels when I was younger. I’m reading Dragons of Autumn Twilight now and the “friends” are all absolute assholes to one another. 🤣
With all the talk of UFOs lately, I’m kind of hoping we get the “Childhood’s End” treatment. I’m ready. 🛸

But, it was about the policies, right?
Starting off my spooky season listening/reading with “What Moves the Dead,” by T. Kingfisher.
Just finished importing my literature notes from “4000 Weeks” by Oliver Burkeman into TheBrain App.
Qobuz suggestion algo > Apple Music suggestion algo.
If Stephen King’s Sleepwalkers had taken place in Ohio, the humans would not have prevailed. 🤷♂️
I’m finally trying out TheBrain app.
Two things stand out. Deliberate terminology. You have a thought and a thought has a type. I find that refreshing. This begs for a relatively flat structure with tags added for flavor.
I have a thought about Groundhog Day. It’s a movie type. And its genre tag is comedy-ish. Just like, well, my brain.
This is still one of my go to’s when I’m feeling down. Not only is it full of great wisdom, but Mr. Bradbury uses the term flimflam and I think we need more of this type of vocabulary in our lives.
I just spent WAY too long investigating how to sync a highlighted Zotero pdf into Readwise with the highlights intact. All I had to do was look at the imports on Readwise to see that PDF is supported. Worked great! 🤦♂️
This is why I’m currently simplifying my digital stack.

It cannot be this heavy of a lift to PREpend text to an Apple Note can it? Best I can tell, you need to:
- Find original note
- Get body
- Delete original note
- Create new note with new text followed by the original body text.

Finally getting around to seeing Alien Romulus. Empty theater! Love it!
Currently importing all of my Readwise highlights to Apple Notes via the Readwise API and Shortcuts. Gonna try native Apple stack for writing, notes, etc. for a bit.
