Usually Aimee comes with the rage, but today it was me. There was an article in the Chronicle of Higher Education that tried to limply argue that disabled students (specifically students with ADHD) are getting too many accommodations and it is a disservice to them!

We ranted for about an hour of the hour and twenty minutes that this episode ended up being. I will not link to the CHE piece, but here is Aimee’s piece on AI and Writing, as well as her infamous piece on accommodations.

Also, Aimee did something very hard this week and I am very proud of her, and I am also very proud of all of you who did hard things that everyone else thinks should be easy, but we know better.

Transcript!

We’re back! It’s season seven because these things are arbitrary like all this related to time, like what month we start school in the fall or what day of the week is the first day! This was recorded on the penultimate day of August, just before the long Labo(u)r Day weekend here in North America, and right around when those of us in the Northern Hemisphere start school again (and summer comes to an end for the rest of us not beholden to academic calendars).

Which can make August feel like, well, Sunday (and September one long Monday). This is about how to make the most of Sunday and get ready for Monday in the kindest way possible knowing that TRANSITIONS ARE HARD.

Transcripts are back, BABY! (At least until Otter decides to throw up random error messages at me again. Sigh.)

I’ve been thinking a lot about professionalism and how it is used to hide other, less…socially acceptable -isms, including ableism. How many of us who are neurodivergent have been told, explicitly or implicitly, that we aren’t professional enough?

Otter.ai is being a pain again, so as soon as they figure out how SSL works or how to make it work consistently on their site, I’ll have a transcript. Sorry.
