Every time I talk to someone at a small business who can’t find employees, I ask if child care is part of the reason why—and they say yes. It’s keeping working people from getting back in the door. We can’t #BuildBackBetter without quality, affordable child care.

An eng created a fake CV with Instagram, Zillow, LinkedIn, Microsoft and Berkeley on it, all details being nonsense. Got 60% response rate.

Reddit is going wild.

Me, as a hiring manager: what is surprising about any of this. It’s exactly how recruiting works. Let me explain:

This point can't be emphasized enough. The history educators that I've worked with over the past 20 years are struggling to broaden their curriculum beyond state standards that continue to fall short of addressing topics such as the history of Reconstruction and the Jim Crow era.

@nhannahjones ("Ida Bae Wells") replied to a tweet by @KevinLevin:

@KevinLevin Teaching profession is more than 80 percent white and the majority of teachers say they are ill-equipped to teach about slavery/race, and yet we are to somehow believe all of these white teachers are telling white children they should feel guilty for being white. It’s made up.

it is also really interesting that i basically hate twitter's algo feed, but youtube's has worked really well for me, both as a consumer and as a producer. still chewing on that one.

@steveklabnik replied to a tweet by @steveklabnik:

i had 145 subscribers before posting this video. I've gained 11 due to this video, and 7 from other videos since this one was made.

but this video has 1165 views right now. had 1000 when I went to sleep last night. 10x my subscriber count.

@steveklabnik replied to a tweet by @steveklabnik:

anyway. there's lots of really, really bad stuff about the way that this works: this same effect of boosting smaller creators is the same reasons why conspiracy content does so well, for example. that's I think their current biggest challenge.

@steveklabnik replied to a tweet by @steveklabnik:

this is also why i think youtube is an interesting platform: they're one of the few that I'm aware of that has decided to cater explicitly to newer folks. that is, The Algorithm is currently set up in such a way that if they see good stats, they share it more.

@steveklabnik replied to a tweet by @steveklabnik:

I didn't make any changes, but these two bits of analytics tell the story: 2 was a decent title because it was searchable. most of my traffic came from search. but in the last 48 hours, because i maintained a good click-through rate, i got put on the home page

@steveklabnik replied to a tweet by @steveklabnik:

and, since i had a decent click-through, more people clicked! so that's why I'm on this new upward slope. they'll keep showing it to more people until that rate declines enough, I think.

@steveklabnik replied to a tweet by @steveklabnik:

there's like... three slopes.

1. is how it was initially doing

2. after a day, I decided to change the title to something I thought was better. boom! it worked

3. the third point is where I think it gets neat though

youtube analytics are really interesting. here's a graph for that video i made earlier in the week:

Yes. Confronting such racist nostalgia is a feature, not bug, of our work.

It's why we have to deal with occasional violent backlash when our work hits the press.

@Ebonyteach Our family elder generation is this is a nutshell. So we quietly disappeared many "childhood favorites," "classics," and "stories *my* parents read me as a kid" books gifted to our kiddo. Because ick. Nostalgia is not worth perpetuating the harm.
