    Brilliant thread:

    Ok. Deep breath. I think we may look back on this as the first Great Information War. Except we're already 8 years in. The first Great Information War began in 2014. The invasion of Ukraine is the latest front. And the idea it doesn't already involve us is fiction, a lie. 1/

    If you are an educator wondering why you have seen far too little compassion towards faculty from your institution during the pandemic, I humbly ask you to pause for a moment and consider whether compassion is part of your pedagogy. We are all part of the same human organism.

    Because there IS learning here. The learning is not about the content of the course. It is learning about shame, about rigidity, about a world without compassion. If that is the lesson intended, then such teaching is effective.
