"If you choose to respond, screenshot the tweet, and respond to your screenshot." So says Bill Fitzgerald in this Twitter thread. And it raises obvious questions. Like: there are #edutwitter celebrities? What do they look like? The very next Twitter thread gives us an answer, with some observations by Audrey Watters and Akil Bello introducing us to the phrase "toxic positivity". Fitzgerald also points us to this thread from Jennifer Binis, who asks "about who gets elevated to the status of EduCelebrity." Image: me taking Fitzgerald's advice.
