Want to go to Brazil with travel support? Check out #SMeW — a great opportunity for students to learn, connect & grow! I co-chaired its 2019 launch (with Lori Pollock & Christian Kästner, with tremendous support by #ICSE19 GC Jo Atlee) and coined the name (yes, the duck 🦆)! @icseconf.bsky.social

CICM + LSFA 2025 was really great!

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Eu torço para que o Ed esteja certo. O blog/podcast dele betteroffline.com revelou a mim muita coisa que eu não sabia. E ele é um ótimo narrador. Os podcasts dele em formato de monólogo são ótimos.

The number of times the media has danced around whether Trump is a racist when the guy is so open about it every time he gets a mic.

This you would not cancel your Disney+ for. But Jimmy Fallon 🤡🌍

People proudly canceling their subscription to Disney+ only now, while they were one of the first companies added to the Palestinian boycott list 🤷‍♂️ Once again just shows how selfish it all is. Support the murder of some others, okay 👍. Take away my "freedom of speech", not okay 👎 🤡 🌍

It seems like it’s dangerous for scientists to speak out against Colossal’s “de extinction research”. www.newscientist.com/article/2490...

“Rich Grenyer, a biologist at the University of Oxford, said de-extinction is a “dangerous” distraction and that gene-edited animals are “at best a sort of simulation, rather like those unnerving animated AI portraits of dead relatives some… people create”.” www.theguardian.com/science/2025...

Just want to acknowledge that Delaware previously said they would join the Northeast Public Health Collaborative, and The New York Times mentioned Maryland in their story, so both states are likely part of it, but waiting on official follow up announcements (they weren't in today's press release).

Updated map of the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. Health departments who have officially confirmed that they are part of the collaborative include Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and New York City.

UPDATE: According to the @healthvermont.bsky.social, Vermont is officially part of the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. They weren't part of the official announcement today, as they were busy issuing their state's own standing order to protect COVID vaccine access.

One of the first actions the Northeast Public Health Collaborative has taken is to issue their own COVID vaccination recommendations, based on professional medical societies. coronavirus.health.ny.gov/system/files...

Fascinating example of illness politics in action.

Again, I'm just describing the situation. If we want to transform it, there's pretty much only one thing for converts to do: shut the fuck up and listen. But even that might be too much to ask.

Unfortunately, social progress has revealed to the oppressed that they no longer have to be subordinate to their oppressor, convert or otherwise, and so we refuse to accept this subordination in progressive spaces aimed at transforming the situation of oppression. Thus, we have an impasse.

As habit is a disposition towards action, essentially, we recognize that any potentially privileged ally's solidarity is conditioned upon whether we make ourselves subordinate to them. This habitual stance forces a reinstatement of the situation of oppression where the oppressor decides for us.

To be clear, this is not a one-time thing: this is a history of actions by supposed allies of demonstrating themselves to be unworthy of the trust we place in their desire to get out of the situation of oppression. It, in our eyes, becomes a habitual stance of would be converts.

Now, Freire doesn't really talk about this, but the oppressed have to trust that converts actually want out of the situation of oppression in order to extend a hand to converts in solidarity. Insofar as the converts don't trust us, they demonstrate that they are unworthy of our own trust in them.

This is, for Freire, a sign of our supposed "allies" inability to trust us. Because they can't or won't trust not only that we know something, but that our knowledge is valuable, they're fundamentally incapable of being in solidarity with us. This, in turn, fractures our trust in our allies.

We can see this in how folks are pushing back hard against even the barest hint of disagreement with horrible fucking ideas like "RSVP online for a protest," as if we should sit the fuck down and let our betters decide our path to liberation. As if we don't know how best to deal with the moment.

Here's the wrinkle, we need these supposed converts. Not only do they possess access to resources that have been denied the oppressed, but our liberation is interdependent with their liberation from being oppressors. If we do not free them from the situation of oppression, they'll just reinstate it.

Because they refuse to let go of this world, because they have been conditioned to see themselves as experts on all things, they can NEVER be the architect of the new world. They lack the capacity to transform the situation of oppression and liberate themselves from the ways it dehumanizes them.

Insofar as this is the case, these would be converts to the cause of the oppressed (which is really just fighting fascists, tbh) approach their solidarity with hesitance and spring upon any opportunity to demonstrate that they know better how to achieve liberation than the oppressed.

What we're seeing in the "don't sign up for protests" discourse is what Paulo Freire described as the convert's failure to trust the knowledge of the oppressed. As the convert tries to stand in solidarity with the oppressed, they refuse to let go of a world where they were the authority by default.

O piloto Mauro Caputti Mattosinho, 38 anos, que transportava regularmente Antonio Rueda, presidente do União Brasil, afirmou em depoimento à Polícia Federal (PF) que o presidente do União Brasil, Antonio Rueda liderava um mega-esquema de lavagem de dinheiro que atendia ao PCC.

O piloto Mauro C. Mattosinho se diz indignado pelas conversas e reafirmou ter transportado uma sacola de papelão que aparentava conter dinheiro vivo, na mesma data em que Beto Louco mencionou a outros passageiros que teria um encontro com o senador Ciro Nogueira (PI), presidente nacional do PP.

My breakup with mainstream media came the day after the election 2016. CNN's CEO had said earlier that year, "Trump is bad for democracy, but good for business." It was the quiet part said out loud. I never went back to watching CNN again. Liberal media is a myth. There is ONLY corporate media.
