Love to see this transformative scholarly publishing project that replaced double-masked review with a peer mentorship model and helped first-time and emerging scholars get published, open access, in a prestigious journal. Another amazing feat from @courtniewolfgang.bsky.social and colleagues. 📚

"Radical Publications in Art + Design Education," an #OpenAccess special issue of Visual Arts Research Vol. 51, Iss. 1, is guest edited by @courtniewolfgang.bsky.social , Mindi Rhoades, Veronica Hicks, and @lllart.bsky.social‬ . Read on @projectmuse.bsky.social : muse.jhu.edu/issue/54813

Countless teachers are bravely committed to defending the freedom to learn — & thereby defend democracy & justice — in their classrooms. They can’t do it alone. They need our public support. Make some noise. Host a #TeachTruth Day of Action event, June 7. Add your city to the map. Read how ⬇️

I wanna crochet this on a pillow for every white man in academia who assumes it’s just their *hard work* that has them riding that glass escalator right past every woman/ POC/ queer person they’ve ever worked with.

NEA Grantees with Terminated Grants or Withdrawn Funding: You have 7 calendar days to appeal, so for those receiving their letters late yesterday (May 2), you have until Friday, May 9 to appeal. We have put together a how-to guide drawing from available resources including @jasonrhody.bsky.social

Just scrolling my bluesky feed singing this chorus over and over and over… open.spotify.com/track/0T3j1K...

Reposting pictures of bunnies is about all I have in me these days. I hope everyone is taking care of themselves as best they can.

Happy May Day y’all.

I haven’t looked deep into the provenance of using “skeet” as a Bluesky post shorthand, and as a person of a certain age I just…cannot*. Is it a flit? A flutter? A click? 🧵

#Students seem to have an opinion about #AI #GenAI use on #campus websites. They are not happy, especially the art & design students. Better listen to them. thelutrinae.com/2025/04/putt...

Imagine the biggest problem in your life being about which bathroom a total stranger uses. Imagine pretending random people you'll never meet are somehow victimizing you with their existence. Imagine being that hard up for troubles that you have to invent them just so you can play the victim.

Did the New England Patriots team plane just fly to Guantanamo? 👀

I’ve been thinking so much about this garden of American heroes Trump has proposed. I’m keeping a list of possibilities and I offer them fair use. 1. Proposals submitted without scale reference, then executed at dollhouse ratio 1:12.

if you know a lot of stuff i think it is your moral duty to be kind and excited when people learn stuff for the first time. the world is full of stuff we don't know about, don't be mean

Our job is not and cannot be policing students so that they don’t cheat. The average classroom instructor is a near-fatally overworked, underpaid contingent thought worker. Our job is to help students understand why the learning is more valuable than anything the cheating can get them.

Generations of poor kids were sold the idea that taking out a student loan was an investment on their future and one they couldn’t afford to pass. Now after multiple once-in-a-lifetime economic downturns and endless avocado toast pieces those same poor kids are being targeted for immiseration.

@sifill.bsky.social reposting this with simply, eloquently “LOL.” is what the internet was made for. Every part of it, including the period, is perfection.

Gay in America: a story in two parts (brought to you by my 262 day Duo streak)

The way this city- the self-proclaimed “Creative Capital”- exploits and then disposes of its arts and arts education community when it is convenient? I can’t. For more I recommend Ty Denmead’s Creative Underclass: Youth, Race, and the Gentrifying City www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctv...

I’m listening… 🧀

as a professor who has been trying very hard to keep her students calm all semester, i literally don't know how to process the news out of Florida State except to say solidarity to everyone there and fuck our leaders who have failed us

Across higher ed, “I have never seen a climate of fear like this in my life" Todd Wolfson & @chenjerai.bsky.social @aaup.bsky.social tell me. "But I’m seeing something else too... that fear is turning into anger & that anger is turning into action" Listen to our vital conversation @therealnews.com

Ya know sometimes as teachers we are really nailing it, and other times a student takes out an honest to god newspaper during class and sets to reading it cover to cover. Note taken.

Yesterday I printed and assembled a zine version of the gallery guide for an exhibition of preschoolers’ artwork, Beautiful Things, that a friend and colleague is curating. Whatever it is that fuels you, find time to do it right now 🩵 #risograph #riso

Yesterday- on Trans Day of Visibility- two of my most beloveds received, respectively, notification of their legal name change and a calendar date for gender affirming surgery. You know, in case you needed a little good news today <3 Keep loving, keep fighting.

Every episode from all 13 seasons of King of the Hill ranked in order of best Bobby Hill hot takes followed by my analysis of the ranking.

I organized my crayon colors by chaotic good, chaotic evil, lawful good, and lawful evil.

Good morning. Listen, you have to just decide. They are not taking the Black Smithsonian. Resolve it in your spirit.

it’s true that a lot of major universities and law firms have the resources to fight back against these awful executive orders it’s also true that many of them are run by powerful people who are delighted to have an excuse to go after a bunch of people they’ve always resented having to listen to

I feel like I might need to have this tattooed on my forehead so I can just lift my bangs up when I need to lest I go absolutely, permanently hoarse .

As Bluesky has grown, I've seen a lot of backsliding on alt text. Please try to be considerate to others and include alt text with all of your images. It helps everyone. Indeed, in the "accessibility" setting in Bluesky you can set it to make sure you add alt text, which is a useful thing to do.

Timeline break: after a seemingly endless New England winter, the yarrow is breaking through 🌿 #gardensky

My colleague Kevin and I are co-editing a book (open access) on Queering Art Education: Content, Pedagogy, + Advocacy. Accepting 300 word proposals now through Sept. 30. #queersky #higheredsky #academiasky #educationsky #museumsky #lgbtqsky #arteducation #artspolicy #artsadvocacy

I also took about 700 of these and came back with zero.

Ya know if you thought a big stack of “n*zi punks fuck off” posters would’ve been off-brand for a national conference for art teachers last week in Louisville, KY you’d be wrong. Ask me how I know…

Had a colleague tell me recently she uses AI “for everything like a personal secretary” and all I could think about was that part at the end of Superman III where Annie Ross gets sucked into the super computer. Scared the shit outta me then but maybe not as much as the 2025 version?

College professors stage NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament Teach-In on Federal Government’s Higher Education cuts “Our ability to train the next generation of STEM professionals is in jeopardy,” said Maia Bailey, a PC biology professor. “We have lost funds to help us teach more effectively..."

The IMLS what is happening, and some suggestions on what you can do to protest the assault on the agency. 📚 📜

What Vance is doing here is ENORMOUS disinformation. International students at the undergrad level typically pay full tuition, which subsidizes tuition for American students on financial aid by keeping tuition costs lower. At the grad level, domestic students are harder to recruit!

You cannot negotiate with terrorists. If the Ivies give in to any regime demands, the goal posts will move. If the massive ivy endowments aren’t deployed to preserve institutional integrity and academic freedom, what on earth are they for?
