The Ford government can’t explain why some students are losing access to language programs while others are not. I asked the Minister of Education to clarify this inconsistency. #onted #onpoli

I love Rachel Kolb's interview with Christine Sun Kim, one of the great Deaf shit-talkers of the age. www.thebeliever.net/an-interview...

“Here we are, six years after every province and territory in Canada declared states of emergency because of #COVID19, and yet we have not learned basic lessons from the pandemic.” 🦠

My essay on Decolonisation and AI has been published by @biltonline.bsky.social In it I explore some of the incongruence between AI and decolonisation. Specifically, the logics of dehumanisation that decolonisation should combat underpin a lot of the push to use AI. bilt.online/decolonising...

“I really, really hate writing that pulls its punches, stalls out in exposition that we don’t need.” —Maggie Nelson

1/ A desalination plant supplying drinking water to 30 villages. A flour and starch factory. Oil depots blanketing Tehran in thick black smoke and contaminated rain. 65 schools. 13 hospitals. Centuries-old heritage sites. These are the latest targets in the illegal US-Israeli assault on Iran.

1/ I was in Toronto last night to surprise my incredible mother, Michele Landsberg, as she received the Ursula Franklin award from Canadian Voice of Women for Peace.

These most recent allegations against Trump are vile and disgusting. Nobody is above the law. Especially not the leader of the pedophile protection party.

1/ The images coming out of Iran are already unbearable. Reports of an elementary school struck by missiles, killing dozens of people, with scores more killed around the country. Fear and chaos in the streets as families run through smoke and search for safety.

My Google Scholar alerts are full of notices that Diane Lillo-Martin has teamed up with none other than Pennycook, C.J. Hall and others to produce a sheaf of literary criticism. Something tells me this is an AI hallucination. 😱

"WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE? HAVE WE RUN OUT OF WORDS? IS THERE AN ONGOING WORD SHORTAGE, AND I AM YET TO HEAR OF IT? HAS THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE SUFFERED A SUDDEN AND RAPID DEPLETION?"

I often see oralism either described in (rightfully) furious terms by Deaf authors, or treated with kid gloves in an effort to be "fair." But I wanted to capture the feeling I as a hearing parent of a #deafkid get when I encounter LSL in the wild—it's a hoax.

We need to be investing in Ontario's future and that includes investing in our post-secondary sector before it's too late. Algonquin's 37 program closures and the loss of the Perth campus are a small preview of what's coming if cuts to the sector continue. #onpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

When times are hard, elites reach for the same trick. They use racism and fear to divide us — keeping us punching down so we don’t look up. But we know our fates are intertwined, and that’s where our power lies. Join us in building a government for the many: lewisforleader.ca

Western right-wing movements are gaining traction in Africa to undermine sexual and reproductive health rights and LGBTQIA+ rights. Africa does not need "an irresponsible espousing of harmful, patriarchal values."

Academia wasn’t built for deaf scholars—but what if it was? Our new paper uses #DrDeaf as an example of alignment in action: how deaf ways of knowing and teaching reconfigure academic space and becoming. With tensions, yes—but also with a distinct deaf rhythm. academic.oup.com/jdsde/advanc...

"What does it mean to be understood as a deaf person? [...] By illuminating deaf worlds of (not) understanding and (not) being understood, layers of alienation and shame are reshaped into sites of linguistic flourishing." buff.ly/zoyy9jt

It’s important to celebrate the wins, be they big or small. Also the misses.

Free tuition and abolishing student debt aren’t new ideas. They’re long-standing demands of the student movement. Education is a public good, and a more educated society benefits everyone. Join the movement to make post-secondary education free: lewisforleader.ca

Happy that my first-ever book talk will take place at a Protactile gathering! As Derrida said: "I will never stop beginning or beginning anew to think with them on the basis of the new beginning they give me."

The president’s obsession with the Somali community and me is really unhealthy and creepy. He is trying to deflect from his failures and sinking approval ratings. Sorry, Trump, we all see through your attempts to hide from your broken promises.
