NYT writing about how The Stranger became a political powerhouse without talking to @ericacbarnett.bsky.social @joshfeit.bsky.social or @mudede.bsky.social is extreme journalistic malpractice. Before they came along, it was a nightlife weekly with funny sex advice

This would be an interesting interview even if the guy's son wasn't the mayor-elect of NYC... www.chronicle.com/article/mahm...

the problem with the left handing democrats a loaded gun tonight to take back to the negotiating table is that they absolutely can not be trusted with a firearm.

I'm attending #CSWE25 and this article is evergreen. www.chronicle.com/article/a-no...

Checking the schedule for my first trip to CSWE and excited to see my longtime 🟦sky mutual @drshannak.bsky.social on the opening plenary. #CSWE25.

Everyone employee deserves to work in a non-toxic respectful environment where they’re paid enough to enjoy their lives. That shouldn’t be a “perk” of a good company.

Dr. Hagopian was kind enough to sit down and talk with me for almost an hour about this. You may find it interesting bsky.app/profile/trau...

Higher Ed in 2025 is opening your mailbox to see that your institution has sent you: 1. A Center for Teaching and Learning call to integrate AI into your classroom; and 2. An Office of Academic Integrity email encouraging you to crack down on students who use AI to cheat.

it's only racial profiling if it comes from the racial profiling region of france. otherwise it's sparkling reasonable suspicion.

Wow. My University of Washington colleague Amy Hagopian was expelled from APHA for her pro-Palestinan advocacy. 🧵 academeblog.org/2025/10/07/w...

To be clear, this "wow" should have been a "yikes."

Happy International Lesbian Day to all who celebrate!

Let me get this straight: Link, a Black user, got banned for calling out the Bluesky CEO for following a racist. That’s not a good look, especially given Bluesky’s historical treatment of Black users here on bluesky.

Quick reminder that fascism is almost always obsessed with the aesthetics of the male body—sculpted, uniformed, disciplined.

“'This tendency to fantasize—when times change and things aren’t what they were—that the poorest and most vulnerable are actually some sort of malicious freeloading class is a very old one,' medievalist @elisewang.bsky.social ... pointed out on Bluesky."

Wondering what image will be on my personalized Antifa address stickers.

Concerning. And very sad to see our national data resources degraded. Thank goodness for the archivists.

Old man going on the Sunday morning shows, looking lost, talking like he’s in a past that died decades ago, all while wearing a 100% Grover wool suit from the Sesame Street collection.

it’s fucking insane that you can log off for a few hours and come back to find trump invaded another city in his own country

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

Recently a coworker gasped at hearing that I generally drink 8-10 shots of espresso a day. Lovely to learn that I can now refer to this as an evidence-based practice. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/02/w...

I had honestly forgotten this.

Very helpful summary of court action re: NIH terminations.

News to make you smile. No kings! More Queens!

There's a place for feel-good events (including protests) that bring people to the cause. But there's ALSO a place for protests that disrupt and shut stuff down, AND a place for protests that are destructive or frightening. All are valid. All are useful. Even if they make you feel uncomfortable.

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx

they never miss

Disappointed that University of Washington isn't on this list. What's up, UW?

I don’t know that social work can ever recover from its silence on genocide. Now that we know its stance on social justice is performative, what credibility does it have? I know many social workers who care deeply about social justice but we're no longer part of a profession that shares our values.

To put it bluntly: If you can allow a bunch of your officers to be reassigned to non-criminal enforcement without a whole lot of protestation, well, you might not really need those officers.

One thing I'm thinking about a lot today is how many people aren't gonna realize they're on Medicaid until they realize they're about to lose their Medicaid

A proud moment for the second city.

Recent hero: my UW colleague and SSW MSW alum Caleb Banta-Green of @adaiuw.bsky.social on why he stood up to protest RFK until security kicked him out. www.seattletimes.com/opinion/i-st...

They're dismantling (what remains of) the social safety net and replacing it with a dragnet instead.

There is a time for small talk,and that time is as you are waiting to deplane.

What is it looking like for folx at social work departments in universities being forced to strip their courses of critical theories, anti-racist praxis, social justice, et cetera and any support from CSWE? I’m hearing of courses being stripped and no idea how the CSWE is intervening. Any word??

Shout out to a highly functional government agency--I forgot to sign my ballot. King County Elections let me know and had a seamless process to remedy by sending in signatures via my mobile phone.

If the news had stayed to this level of detail and simplicity instead of turning into 24 hour consumer slop we mughtbhave avoided some of this mess we see currently in. we should see the conglomerate effort of its parent paramount to change the news as because it wants a merger as the threat it is.

If I was in the white house and was going to sack Pete Hegseth, I wouldn't even tell him. I'd just add him to the group chat discussing his replacement and act like he wasn't there.
