Wow, we are now being officially advised against travel to the USA by the Canadian Association of University Teachers. I never thought I'd see the day. ☹️ #AcademicChatter

😁

remember when nancy mace (R-Hell) falsely accused an advocate for trans foster youth of assaulting her when he was just shaking her hand? prosecutors have dropped the case 🙌

This is an excellent and really valuable overview of everything wrecked at HHS.

At the time of writing this story feels under-reported in the US press. #Democracy

This is the simplest and most obvious explanation.

Well look at this. Here's the head of a major university (Princeton!) taking a firm stand in favor of academic freedom and, you know, rule of law. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Got a printer? You can start fighting fascism. Here's a thread of things you can print and distribute. 👇 I promise doing something--even this--feels better than raging silently. And maybe it'll show you that standing up is possible and open you up to more things you can do.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE. In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.

Repost & like, if you stand with President Zelensky!

So I did this today: banged out a couple hundred words of a pitch while managing lab, sent it to the opinion page editor at the newspaper my parents still somehow get in print, and got back a "yes" in, I absolutely kid you not, under 15 minutes

Odds are good that someone in your life has received vital care at a university-affiliated hospital near you. Trump and Musk want to destroy them. Call your reps and demand they push back -- especially if they're Republicans. www.house.gov/representati...

Thank you, I’ll have plenty! I used to crochet a long time ago and just started knitting a few weeks ago. It’s been a great way to stop doomscrolling and reflect 😌 I’ve finished a Sophie scarf and have started a sweater. (I’m waiting for more purple yarn & am casting on a new cardigan as I wait 🫣)

Authors! Submitting your story to an open call? As someone reading through 400+ submissions for an anthology, some tips: Opening paragraph/sentence: I can tell within the first few sentences if a story is a 'no.' 'Maybes' turn to 'no's' by the end of the first paragraph. Brutal, but it's true.
