Purim teaches us that joy can be defiant, courage can be collective, and survival is only the beginning. We gather, we give, we protect one another — and we refuse to disappear. Chag Purim Sameach.

The Children Speaking from the Rubble Tell us, what do the living do? Do you dance? Do you make bread with each other? Do you walk in the parks in autumn, smelling the late summer flowers? Is it true that some things get to grow old? What is the world doing now? Are you fighting with sticks and stones? Do you remember us? Do you lie down under the stars and listen to the birds passing overhead, and do you get to feel the little wings of your own wild heart be opened? You have somewhere to go then, don't you? Go. Don't let us keep you. We have names. We are safe. We're at school. We are hiding in our favorite little places, waiting for you to tap us on the shoulders, to tell us it was just a joke, come home now, and the bombs and boots are just a game we're playing, and the bread and milk are waiting on the table, and the moon is new, and the gardens are in blossom. This sentence is the length of one of our shoes. —Joseph Fasano

Nashville's seen the most visible pushback from citizens, but it's getting essentially zero media play. Johnson City has seen a surge in the past two weeks. Today it looks like they're pushing in Chatanooga.

I’m quoted quite a bit here so perhaps I’m biased but I feel this is a good run down of what the Epstein files tell us about how power works in academia. with some good commentary from @jessicacalarco.com, too:

In my first job, I got set up as a ghost advisor twice. The first time, I was confused and made excuses for my Professor Prominent. The second time, I sucked it up for a different Prof Prominent and swore never again.
From then on, I refused to serve on committees of certain advisors.
Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

Last night, I was notified that another person has died in ICE custody.
That’s 39 people who have died on ICE’s watch during Trump’s second term.
We cannot grow numb to this. There must be immediate oversight and accountability.
... but i think it worked??

We were invited to read from our books, which I did of course. But first I had some opening words, which I thought I'd share with you here.
I'll share video too, once that's available.
Waiting to see how long it takes institutions reinstate the diversity, equity, and inclusion programs they shut down, re-hire those they pushed out, and rewrite all the language they rushed to change.
Something tells me it'll likely be a long wait.
I keep thinking about something @tressiemcphd.bsky.social said during her livestream conversation with @katemanne.bsky.social yesterday:
We are living with zombie institutions that have been hollowed out by neoliberalism.
That hit like a truth bomb because of ways it reflects my current work life

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.
This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

We used data from an intervention designed to help teachers' navigating emotionally complex aspects of their work.
Using the idea of relational agency, we identify how the intervention supported teachers' collective learning about these challenging aspects of teaching.
