Now my uni wants me to download everything, have students email me their final projects, set up a plan b for the final exam. Ummmm... no? You are asking for me to turn water into wine, but only willing to pay for "it's in the lord's hands."

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

Let’s not forget the smug “no tech” people… but I guess they aren’t on Bluesky

By gutting the Voting Rights Act, the Supreme Court is killing the Second Reconstruction. The first Reconstruction shows how Congress should respond. Me and Daphna Renan in the NYT on the tools we have to save democracy from a hostile Court.

'Emotional behavioral disorder' gets slapped on Black and Brown students to keep them out of mainstream classrooms while white students have learning disabilities and get integrated education, a divide that entrenches systemic disparities—and deprives Black and Brown students of their future.

RFK Jr: "President Trump has a different way of calculating percentages. If you have a $600 drug and you reduce it to $10, that's a 600% reduction."

I am "I remember when journals had good copy editors" years old.

Do journals just have some sort of secret access to my schedule so that they can send page proofs at the worst possible time?

wtf

Sooo.. Ppl who take on caregiving responsibilities for a parent feel closer to the parent, but their emotional well being, physical health, finances & social life all decrease, particularly for women (relationship with partner was sort of a wash). There has to be a better way. tinyurl.com/5x9ccvem
