In an attempt to help restore some #DisabilityTwitter connections for #DisabilityJustice / #DisabilityRights (& all our intersections) I've made a group here: @disabilityjustice .

Join the group - you will be able to see who else has joined (a bit like a list or viewing someone's followers).

Tag the group when you toot and group members will see your post in their tl.

There are Disability and ActuallyAutistic groups too - @disabilityjustice is inclusive of non-disabled activists & allies.

Here are my slides for #POD22Seattle #POD22Online. The talk is about how ALL of us in education need to acknowledge how our work is dangerously shaped by neoliberalism.

This is a slide from a talk I've been giving about unintended consequences, re: an example of how lack of foresight in tech design can sometimes be attributed in part to lack of diversity. People who get harassed a lot are good at predicting vectors for harassment. (This tweet is quoted in @schock 's book.) I think we're going to see some challenges around dealing with harassment on Mastodon now that more frequently targeted folks are trying it out b/c it's more complex than just blocking...

a recording of my Metaphors of Ed Tech webinar for @ContactNorth is available for those who missed it (or those who were there and just can't get enough Rebecca Riots metaphors) https://teachonline.ca/webinar/metaphors-edtech
Metaphors of EdTech | Welcome to TeachOnline

Criticisms leveled at online education during the COVID-19 pandemic revealed not only a lack of understanding about how educational technology (EdTech) can be deployed effectively, but a lack of imagination.

With Twitter Crumbling, It Feels Like The World Is Collapsing On Disabled People

I don’t want to leave the platform and I feel like I am mourning it in real time.
