@itsafronomics.bsky.social speaking absolute truth right now: “There is no moment in history, whether trembling or triumphant, where community hasn’t mattered."

@femmeeconomics.bsky.social starting off the kickoff with beautiful words from Ijeoma Umebinyuo: “Start now. Start where you are. Start with fear. Start with pain. Start with doubt. Start with hands shaking. Start with voice trembling ... with what you have. Just... start.” #SACE2025 #EconSky

These 18-year-olds were high school freshmen when COVID hit
They should be college freshmen now
The FAFSA disaster decreased enrollment overall (down 5%)
The affirmative action ban decreased black enrollment at selective schools (down 17%)

With @overleaf.com down, here's a quick tip to keep working.
If you're already syncing overleaf with Dropbox, you can still find your files in Dropbox/Apps/Overleaf
Install the latex extension in vscode or download an editor like texstudio.
Should take 15 mins or less to get set up! #econsky
