Friends - I'm giving a talk this week, emphasizing what a difference teachers make in the world. I wondered: what's a moment where a higher-ed educator made a radical, positive difference in your life? Were you an undergrad? a graduate student? Faculty? Staff? Share the good moments!

trade war btwn imperialist allies (US & Canada) is means to use economic nationalism to rally behind otherwise status-quo. struggle between 'foreign' & 'domestic' capital maintains capitalism, hurts ppl through price gouging, reinforces racist nationalism & intensifies extraction on Indigenous lands

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Citizenship and Global Inequality Workshop organized by Daniel Sharp, Ph.D. (CAS Researcher in Residence/LMU)

I'm off to Munich on Monday for a workshop on Citizenship and Global Inequality (organised by @deeesharp.bsky.social) where I'll be saying something (I hope) about hermits and permissible forms of withdrawal from the state.

🧡✍️ Letters have power. 

Our polling shows that even in an age of emails and instant messages, handwritten letters still hold great value, especially young people (49% of 18-34s) wishing they received more. ⬇️

Maybe I haven’t said this enough on here, but people are so wrong about what climate doom is.

There is only one definition: telling people there is nothing worth fighting for. That we should all lay down and die.

You can spread hope and let that hope compel a righteous anger in people.
