The nails are slowly being hit into our coffin. Only his lapdogs remain on the council. Out of 26 council members (not all positions were filled at the time of firing), just four are left —the ones he previously appointed. www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...

It's (always) a good day to read @tressiemcphd.bsky.social. Damn. 🔥 On Charlie Kirk, 'debate,' and media control www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/o...

In this guide, we answer your questions: Do I need a prescription? What is this going to cost me? And: My local pharmacy isn’t offering the shot — what now?

Was not expecting to tear up so many times during that march but the community solidarity was just amazing 💪✊

Join me today in Sunset Park. actionnetwork.org/events/stand...

Cuts to and closures of university presses are 100% part of the separation (or as @mattseybold.bsky.social has called it "unbundling") of research and teaching in the humanities and the devaluation of both quite frankly--in this case at the expense of the career training admin claims to care about.

Eldest also started an Etsy shop recently which is adorable (sorry for NYC pricing 😆) www.etsy.com/shop/crochet...

Just sent the eldest to go pick up her little brother which feels like a major parenting achievement unlocked

New Mexico's economy is a fraction of the size of New York City's. If they can enact universal childcare — and relieve working families of a crushing cost burden — surely we can too. It's just a question of political will.

wow looks like a good day to kick myself off the internet. I cannot

Such a great conversation, and an incredible group of participants from so many places and time zones—from Alaska to Australia! Many thanks to @penahay.bsky.social for hosting me 😊

We’re at an inflection point in higher ed: decades of neoliberal policy weakened our ability to fight the current onslaught of eroding academic freedom, the dismantling of shared gov, the adjunctification of the professoriate+

Guys my big kid is at her first day of MIDDLE SCHOOL today, what is time

So great to see this in the world. Thank you to editor Janneke Adema, all of the authors, reviewers, and fine folks at @michiganpublishing.bsky.social for creating this timely special issue!

Appreciation post for the slanting sunlight and late-summer insect noise of this morning's run

Doing research for a thing and am kind of astonished to see that this 2013 website I co-created during my time at the @scholarslab.bsky.social is still functional? praxis-network.org

Posted without comment except to say it's more clear than ever that the National Endowment for the Humanities is severely understaffed. We wonder how that happened (hint: they terminated two-thirds of their staff with no planning beforehand). #NEH

this is the entire trajectory, as the history of ed-tech partnerships reveals. grifter-welfare at mostly public expense is why faculty, staff, and students need to fight tooth and nail, through collective bargaining language and more, to make such deals subject to the community they must serve

Amplifying for the morning crowd. Humanities funding opportunities are increasingly scarce these days, so please share and sign up for the Q&A session on 8 September (2:00–2:45 p.m. ET).

😮😮😮

I am here for this take on AI in higher ed

Increasingly, what makes sense to me is framing a class as a *dialogic community* and assessing students on their contributions as members of that community. Such contributions can be and should be as spontaneous as they are regulated. +

Another piece to read. And bsky.app/profile/loll...

Wow. The University of Chicago, a world-class institution whose humanities faculty in the past has included Homi Bhabha & Lauren Berlant & Ralph Ellison & Hannah freaking Arendt, is getting rid of basically every graduate department involving the acknowledgment that other cultures & languages exist.

Got reviews back for an NEH Summer Institute proposal I worked on w/ a client. It's SUCH a good project, & the four reviews are all excellent. Was it funded? Of course not. Part of me is surprised it went through a review process at all, but somehow the fact that it did feels even more demoralizing

Finally watched K-Pop Demon Hunters with the 8yo and I have to admit he has a point (it was his…10th rewatch?)

"Last year there were ten murders in the NYC subway system, with well over a billion total rides taken. During the same time period, there were 253 traffic fatalities in New York City. One person dead every day and a half. Cars? Those things are fucking dangerous."

An honor to serve as inaugural certificate coordinator & celebrate @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social scholars past and present who have long been at the center of community-engaged + public facing scholarship @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social @cuny.edu

For decades we have over-invested in tech and under-invested in the public and non-profit sectors, which can employ people from all majors. This is accelerating under the current administration. This is bad for college grads. And it's really, really bad for all of us.

A Brooklyn high school student has been detained since Aug 4 by ICE after attending a routine mandated hearing. NYC friends, please call your elected officials and ask what they're doing to (1) ensure his prompt & safe release, and (2) KEEP OUR STUDENTS & THEIR FAMILIES SAFE bit.ly/FreeMouctar

Every library worker has benefitted in some way from @fobettarh.bsky.social's work, and if you can afford to, please pay it forward: www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo.... If you can't donate, please share.

which place critical limits on federal and state power, were removed entirely. These sections include protections such as habeas corpus and the prohibition on the government granting titles of nobility. They claim this was done in error. Link: constitution.congress.gov/constitution/

Significant portions of Article I of the U.S. Constitution were removed from the version published on Congress’ official Constitution website. Large parts of Section 8(which outlines the powers of Congress) were deleted, and Sections 9 and 10,

In case you missed it, this workbook is a guide to thinking through when and how to take risks as a higher ed worker. It aims to help us differentiate between danger and discomfort, while also offering some practical information about how to protect yourself while taking meaningful action.

AI isn't magic. AI is land, real estate, and energy.

This is a very important network connector in a part of Brooklyn with really wide streets and lots of bikeable destinations. Check out the plan from @nyc-dot.bsky.social and be ready to turn out to meetings to support the project!

Eleven more libraries will reopen on Sundays, thanks to the leadership of the City Council. They never should've been closed in the first place. As Mayor, I'll end this absurd budget dance that keeps our beloved libraries in limbo year after year.

This is not meritocracy, it's white supremacy.

Uhhh looks like I'm now president of my district's Community Education Council

Public media is really special. Shame, shame, shame on this regime and its campaign to make everyone scared, obedient, and stupid. They are stealing from all of us and from our futures. Despicable.

Alas, I'm back in Brooklyn. Home sweet home but also why with the heat and downpours? I'd like my 22hrs of daily sunshine back pls

Hi from Alaska, I might never leave

The termination of these awards would have huge consequences especially for small and local organizations, as @katinalynn.bsky.social reported in Slate: slate.com/news-and-pol...

According to POLITICO reporter @kyledcheney.bsky.social, a federal judge has blocked the cancellation of NEH awards by DOGE.
