There are some days where all the things to do (professionally & personally) feel really hard and heavy, but I am grateful that writing is a site of healing for me and that it's a big (& one of the best) part(s) of my professional life.

Hello, Goodbye, See You Later: The Bittersweet Joy of Collaboration #blogpost professorhsieh.edublogs.org/2025/08/12/h...

Horrifying, heart-breaking, and morally unconscionable. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/24/w...

Fighting for disability rights has to include fighting for people whose symptoms of their disability that may make you uncomfortable (i.e. people with schizophrenia).

As I just said on CNN, my father's parents were Nakba survivors. I don't want Israeli children to live in fear and I don't want Palestinian children to starve to death. There is nothing anyone could do to make me put nationalistic talking points above basic human rights.

Also friends, the other day, I was thinking about how much I miss professional community in social media spaces. I haven’t found a humanizing social networking outlet that fills the hole left by the loss of Twitter. Just putting that out there. It feels lonely w/o that community.

This may be my favorite solo-authored piece ever, using found poetry, word clouds and narrative to contribute to a portrait of two #AsianAmerican teachers and their experiences with racialization prior to and through the COVID-19 pandemic. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

My 5-minute EduTalk on "Love at the Center of Transformation" & the importance of humanizing practices in teaching and teacher education: youtu.be/zOSTuigbeJo?...

It went well, Friends. Thanks for sending good energy my way 💜

I'm giving a 5-minute TED-style "EduTalk" tonight & tell me why, with all that's going on in the world, this is at the top of my stress list right now...😭🫠

Submitted two manuscripts today & as an added bonus, saw that the manuscript we had given up on, after no movement since we submitted it in May 2024, is in peer review & we're waiting for a decision. #academiclife

The AERA @slrsigaera.bsky.social Leadership Team is delighted to release the 1st CRITICAL LANGUAGE EDUCATION SEED RESEARCH GRANT! This grant opportunity aims to advance critical scholarship in language education. Come to our SIG’s business meeting to learn more about this opportunity.

Feeling a little discouraged about poor evaluation (response rates & overall ranking with sideways comments not related to me) process & results from last quarter. Literally the first time in my entire career. Rough way to start a week 🫠

For people trying to follow the news out of Myanmar (Both the earthquake & the wider context). The #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar feed is here & is functioning well for coverage. bsky.app/profile/did:...

A few years ago I visited the National Museum of African American History & Culture with my grandparents. When we stepped out of the building my grandmother kept repeating the words “I lived it. I lived it. I lived it.” She’s still here. That history is still in her bones. You can never erase that.

“History has shown us that authoritarian regimes target academics first, fearing the power of inquiry, free expression and the pursuit of truth. We do not choose the times in which we live, but we do choose how we act in those times.” www.tuftsdaily.com/article/2025...

Grieving Social Media spaces that were powerful spaces of professional growth & community for me: professorhsieh.edublogs.org/2025/03/26/g...

In case anyone missed it: three new mini-zines/resorces: • Ideas for promoting our projects, events, etc. beyond social media • Writing prompts for addressing this moment • Action ideas for people new to organizing Full text + printable PDFs to print/fold/share all at: guante.info/zines

It’s just a fact that most of us are not particularly brave. But we *are* social—and we can become braver when someone invites us into action.

Does anyone else have the experience of working on a presentation from a paper draft & realizing that now you want to completely reorganize the draft which was almost ready to submit? No, just me. Okay. Thought so. 😭🫠

#edusky colleagues, higher ed or K-12, please share. We are at Columbia, but we know that this struggle matters for education across the lifespan. A Statement from Teachers College Faculty on the Attack on American Education docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Not me reading @dianaliuedu.bsky.social 's dissertation opening and crying over here 😭

"We're in the midst of an authoritarian takeover of the US government. It's been coming and coming, and not everybody is prepared to read it that way."

Classroom/Library enrollment was down pretty bad in February. National chaos and uncertainly likely has something to do with it. Can you help me make sure that all the educators on bluesky know Skype a Scientist exists and is ready to connect them with scientists? Every RT helps! #EduSky #STEMEd

A federal judge on Sunday ordered the Trump administration to respond to allegations that U.S. immigration enforcement "willfully disobeyed" an order halting the deportation of a Rhode Island doctor.

I don't think enough people appreciate that the crimes of South America's dictatorships were done with the backdrop of an active urban guerrilla insurgency. If we're already disappearing student protest leaders and brutalizing German tourists, what will happen when people start actually resisting?

And if you can’t get anyone on the phone, send an email to your senators. 👇

We will not allow this to become normal. The current administration is trying to crush dissent beginning with those who speak out for Palestinian freedom. This is a threat to all who believe in justice. Tell Congress to protect students & demand Mahmoud’s release: bit.ly/freemahmoudnow

Sharing this statement from the Education Solidarity Collective on Coast Salish Lands which reaffirms our commitments to one another, the land, and working towards more just futures.

On the incoming executive order about the US Dept of Education: First, it's important to state (and repeat again and again) the obvious: Constitutionally, the president can't abolish a Congressionally mandated agency. 1/6

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

A lot of folks are waiting for someone/thing to save them or tell them what to do. People don't realize you can start a protest, make your own fliers, practice mutual aid, write a newsletter. You don't need permission. You can be creative. You don't have to do things how they've always been done.

I say this to myself every single day. 💛

For me, fighting fascism has nothing to do with thinking I’ll win. I don’t fight because there’s an inevitable outcome, I fight because I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t do something.

A few people have shared this here today, so I thought I’d post it.

When I was a young pup I was obsessed with the graffiti frm the May 1968 Paris protests and the one that has been echoing in my head all week is "you will die of comfort"

It should be noted that the strength of a liberal democracy is defined by how it protects the rights of its minorities, especially its most marginalized.

👏 invest 👏 in 👏 education #edusky

storing away moments of morning light and stillness feels more important than ever

"Fascists will go as far as they can to try & shape public perception and create oppressive realities by manipulating language & symbols—don’t let them... Speak up, call us by our actual names, say that you see us." -Willow (my partner!) in @thenation.com 😍 www.thenation.com/article/soci...

National park protests tmw at noon!

If you have the capacity to participate in today's economic boycott, it is a small, but important, way to speak collectively.

"Ultimately, in all things — races, life journeys, difficult periods — it is about running the race that is set out for us and pacing ourselves. It sometimes comes down to finding a marker on the road and letting it pull us in." 1/
