I, a very fancy professor at the state flagship university with a named lil mini endowment, teach in a room where my only option is to use chalkboards or a quite old manual projector and I must bring my laptop from home because there is no computer in the room. But sure, do this.

I would love to see orders of magnitude more discussion about what "swing voters" should figure out, deal with, suck up, get a clue about, etc and orders of magnitude less discussion about how protestors should coddle random third party's hallucinations about this section of the electorate

Against Technofeudal Education Pillars For Protecting Our "Core Infrastructure" From OpenAI

Great recs from @mattseybold.bsky.social on resisting technofeudal education: prioritize print, practice ungrading, "Luddify" the classroom; de-mobilize computer infrastructure (root technology in social place!); faculty governance over SaaS subscriptions; instructor choice re: ed-tech

If y'all haven't caught on I'm going to annoy the shit out of y'all with examples on how democracy is being fought for and saved on the local level.

I want to unshackle y'all from the thinking that only the national horse race matters.

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people.

We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

This pointless stunt by Cory Booker is accomplishing nothing but drawing attention to the Trump administration’s wrongdoing and delaying the work of the Senate and energizing the Democratic base and, wait, hang on, let me come in again

FrankΓ©tienne, Father of Haitian Letters, Is Dead at 88 A prolific novelist, poet, painter and soothsayer, he was inspired by the chaos of his country and published the first novel written entirely in Haitian Creole.

A great loss for the Haitian people, and for Latin America, the Caribbean, and the world as a whole

This news about my book launch cancellation has been so disappointing.

But I’m grateful to share that Decatur Library will now host the event, and I’m even more thrilled to announce that I’ll be in conversation with the brilliant @malaikajabali.bsky.social.

Hi, I am @motherjones.com' disability reporter. In the following weeks, I am very interested in hearing how tariff nonsense impacts getting your meds and medical equipment. My email to get in touch is jmetraux@motherjones.com. Reposts appreciated.

So interesting that adolescent black boys are perceived as hardened adults but a rich white man who uses his wealth to influence politics around the world and is eligible for AARP benefits gets infantilized as just a little silly goose. You don’t know how much this shit right here pissed me off:

Civil rights were won through protests and lawsuits and literally fighting back. We are not in unprecedented times. We are in a horrible reboot of Reconstruction. Fight in every way possible. Flood those anti DEI tiplines with misinformation, spend 10 minutes every day telling your reps to stop this
