We're LIVE for the first of our 3-part #EquityInEducation Series! It's not too late to join us... Follow along in this thread ⤵️ @EquitySupt1 @ShaneSkjerven12 @KafrissenKai @CosimoTangorra #BringPeopleTogether #TeVirtualEvents #TeVE

 @KafrissenKai opens with a heartfelt welcome. In this work we are supporting each other! We (@thoughtxchng) are learning & growing (with you). We are committed to showing up at co-conspirators, we won't let "perfection" immobile us in starting this important work! #Equity 💜
@kaileymetcalfe, thank you for standing by to jump in for @KafrissenKai in case of a #PowerOutage! Are any of you joining us from #BritishColumbia today? Quite a storm we are having! #BCStorm 🌬️🌨️ #BringPeopleTogether
What is our WHY for joining today? @EquitySupt1 ponders his place in this #equity conversation. To convene, #BringPeopleToegther & elevate voices! There is no right way to do this, there is only the wrong way - To do nothing, explain it away, preserve yourself and not do the work
It's @ShaneSkjerven12's turn to tell us his story, he says that he is grateful to share his journey in #leadership #equity. His story is beautiful and starts back in 2004 when he was appointed to a school in #Saskatchewan with almost 100% Indigenous population. #EquityinEducation
Serving a community with one of the lowest socioeconomic ratings in Canada has been one of the greatest gifts of @ShaneSkjerven12's life 💜 He just recently got to witness a 21 year old Indigenous woman graduate that he has known sine she was 5 years old.
What has been essential to @ShaneSkjerven12?
He built trust by recognizing his own privilege. He had (and still has) and GREAT team that supports him, you cannot do this work alone! And he embraced traditions of the culture. #BringPeopleTogether #Equity
@CosimoTangorra has spoken with us now and it was truly powerful. Cosimo says that he started his journey in #equity way too late in life, in his mid thirties when he when he realized that systemic racism exists and he had become complacent and was actually benefitting from it.
The honesty & vulnerability from both of these speakers is inspiring.💜 @CosimoTangorra explains his arrival at a #NewYork school district where every single BIPOC family that he spoke with would reveal their concerns about the inequity of opportunity. #BringPeopleTogether
@CosimoTangorra explains how he is now able to work with a Chief Equity Officer who is a tremendous resource for him. This CEO helped to engage the community in conversation, radical changes in onboarding process (recruitment) & policy review. #BringPeopleTogether
We have now engaged in #crowdsourcing with everyone in the virtual event to see which Q&A questions are the MOST relevant to the entire audience. We are able to do this in less than 4 minutes! How would YOU answer this question if it was completely anonymous? #LOUDtocrowd
We love how @KafrissenKai is digging into the data in the exchange we just ran. Themes, differences & understanding how our ideas/thoughts have changed throughout this event. Stay tuned for the replay of this session to hear Kai explain more about the wisdom of the crowd.
We're now hearing from both speakers about how #studentvoice has helped in this work @ShaneSkjerven12 - Understanding privilege! ProD for #EdLeadership is so much about helping #EdLeaders understand implicit bias & privilege - pass this learning on to your students! #Equity
What if?

Your district has such a small minority population they are saying "it's not our work".

As a white leader, you don't feel like you should be the one doing the leading in the #equity conversation?

#TeVirtualEvents #BringPeopleTogether
Answers ⤵️
@ShaneSkjerven12 - Leadership is about humility. It's for ALL of us and we need to embrace it, challenge ourselves to work together.
@CosimoTangorra - Doesn't feel like he is "leading" it, work TOGETHER. It's not just about race. It's about inclusivity for ALL.
That's all for today - we know your time is precious! Thank you to everyone who joined us today, & especially to our speakers, @CosimoTangorra & @ShaneSkjerven12 for truly speaking from the heart 💜 Our next #Equity in Education #TeVE is Jan 27, join us! https://t.co/ceasFUU7Jt

New from me:

I’m launching my Forecasting For SEO course next month.

It’s everything I’ve learned, tried and tested about SEO forecasting.

The course: https://t.co/bovuIns9OZ

Following along 👇

Why forecasting?

Last year I launched https://t.co/I6osuvrGAK to provide reliable forecasts to SEO teams.

It went crazy.

I also noticed an appetite for learning more about forecasting and reached out on Twitter to gauge interest:

The interest encouraged me to make a start...

I’ve also been inspired by what others are doing: @tom_hirst, @dvassallo and @azarchick 👏👏

And their guts to be build so openly in public.

So here goes it...

In the last 2 years I’ve only written 3 blog posts on my site.

- Probabilistic thinking in SEO
- Rethinking technical SEO audits
- How to deliver better SEO strategies.

I only write when I feel like I’ve got something to say.

With forecasting, I’ve got something to say. 💭

There are mixed feelings about forecasting in the SEO industry.

Uncertainty is everywhere. Algorithm updates impacting rankings, economic challenges impacting demand.

It’s difficult. 😩

Trending news of The Rock's daughter Simone Johnson's announcing her new Stage Name is breaking our Versus tool because "Wrestling Name" isn't in our database!

Here's the most useful #Factualist comparison pages #Thread 🧵


What is the difference between “pseudonym” and “stage name?”

Pseudonym means “a fictitious name (more literally, a false name), as those used by writers and movie stars,” while stage name is “the pseudonym of an entertainer.”

Alias #versus Stage Name: What’s the difference?

Alias means “another name; an assumed name,” while stage name means “the pseudonym of an entertainer.”

Another common #question:

What is the difference between “alias” and “pseudonym?”

As nouns alias means “another name; an assumed name,” while pseudonym means “a fictitious name (more literally, a false name), as those used by writers and movie

Here is a very basic #comparison: "Name versus Stage Name"

As #nouns, the difference is that name means “any nounal word or phrase which indicates a particular person, place, class, or thing,” but stage name means “the pseudonym of an

What does it take to sustain screwiness in the way the world works? Mostly, it's just good people, trying their best to get us to a better place... within constraints which pretty much preclude us actually getting anywhere! A case in point with

These authors come across as hugely committed to something we might all agree upon: improving young people's experiences of physical education through better school-based-interventions. Sounds great? Agreed, & pretty much everything about their study models best practice 🥳


Sadly, established "best practice" involves further embedding the medicalisation of PE as if it should be about the potential contribution of physical activity to everything from quality of life, self-perception & cognition to the likelyhood of becoming healthy & active adults 🤯


We're reminded of the Chief Medical Officer's "recommended guidelines of 60 min of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) per day for healthy growth and development" 👇 This is a focus on what we can easily measure (generic) rather than on what we might value (individual).


We get recognition that PE "is not merely an opportunity for children to engage in PA" but that's linked to its role in "the development of knowledge & skills to foster their PA engagement throughout life" - so further focus on health outcomes. A long way from @meaningfulPE 🙄

Something you may not know is that professional Black women are hyper focused on qualification.

We are told young that there will be no leg-up for us, and that we MUST excel academically.

We work hard, compete & get into college.

For many of us, our whole family is counting

on us. We often carry the burden of inter-generational progress, where our success validates the expectations and sacrifice of those before us.

We are always aware that squandering the opportunity for an education would be disrespectful to those who never got that chance.

Then, if we get into graduate school, we see very few others like us, and feel instantly under scrutiny.

There is no hiding or blending in. All your professors are zeroed in on you, trying to ascertain if you can compete. When you produce the goods, they are delighted,

but the delight is often also telegraphing to us that the talent was not expected.

When we ascend into corporate environments, we are again closely scrutinized, not just for competence, but for “fit.”

Our bosses will test us again and again to make sure the “angry black

woman” doesn’t come out.

The onus is always on us to make those around us comfortable, never the other way around.

Once we put our colleagues at ease, things are fine.... until we start getting close to the power echelon.

Then things get dicey.

Magudeswarar Temple, Kodumudi
#Erode
#Tamilnadutemples 🚩

Situated on the banks of the river Kaveri, Magudeswarar Temple is one among Paadal Petra Shiva Sthalam. Kshetram is famous Parihara Sthala for Naga Dosham and for performing Tarpanam to the departed souls.


There are 3 sannidhi here for Paramashiva, Mahavishnu and Brahma Deva.

Sthala Puranam says that once Adisesha and Vayu Deva placed Meru parvat at the centre to decide who is stronger among them. Parvatam was held tightly by Adisesha and Vayu blew the wind to push Parvatham.


In this struggle, peak of meru  parvatham broke into 7 pieces and fell in different places as precious gems. Diamond fell at  Kodumudi as Magudeswarar. Panchamirtham abhishekam is very famous here. Vanni tree situated here is very old which contains medicinal values.


It is believed that Agasthiya Muni did Prathishta of Shiva Lingam here. As Adisesha is one of the reason for creation of the temple, this is famous Parihara Sthalam for Naga Dosham. It is believed that those who


who take a bath in the river Kaveri and worship paramashiva and mahavishnu, will be cured of diseases and will get relief from all illness.

side of the temple, is guarding Devi here.
Story says that, once there lived a weaver named Kuttan who was a Devi Bhaktan. During one festival time Kuttan was so pleased by the Devi Vigraham that he requested her to come along with him. At that time wind blew heavily and Cloths


in Vigraham flew. Kuttan immediately decorated Devi with his cloth which stuck to Vigraham and returned to his village and with his Umbrella. Devi came with him in that Umbrella and stayed in his place. This place is Mangottu Bhagavathi temple now.
