Racist Remarks Shock Participants at UWS Schools Meeting: ‘We Take These Matters Very Seriously’ Participants in the meeting reacting to the racist remarks. By Gus Saltonstall Officials of the Upper West Side School District

Didn't know @huntercollege.bsky.social were perfectly fine with their professors being blatantly racist like Allyson Friedman. Shame on you. Think of the Black students whose tuitions pay your salaries.

On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being “served food that contained worms.” A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees. The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

This is today! Don’t let anything stop you from attending.

-PJs? No problem!
-Fussy baby? We love them!
-Department meeting? I think you’re developing a slight cough ::ahem:: Chill in your office or go home early

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

3 Steps to Your Dream Academic Business

Let me offer another form of procrastination: a Zoom call on Thurs in which I’ll share how you can turn your academic training into a business and be paid by lovely clients for the work you already do. 😁 acadiaediting.com/live

Tell me academia isn’t broken.

Tired of giving more free labor without so much as a “thank you”?

It’s time to explore other options.

On Feb 12, I’ll show you how academics are building businesses they control.

No more abuse.
No more 5-hour meetings.
No more grading AI slop.

Ok, but has anybody searched for Jacoby? He probably wasn’t famous enough to get an invite. #sorrynotsorry

When #MeToo happened, we were all horrified at the revelations.

Little did we know it was just scratching the surface.

This is today at 12 EST. I’d love to see you there.

don't really want to argue about the ethics of genAI overall right at the moment but if you're giving OpenAI in particular your money please consider literally any other option

Save your seat at acadiaediting.com/live

Getting through each day is ridiculously hard rn.

If you’re…
-questioning your future in academia
-wanting to move states/countries
-hoping to do work you love w/o fear of redundancy or abuse by colleagues

On Thurs I’m sharing exs of academics who built businesses w/ existing skills

In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

This is how I understood his speech. To prevent violence by protesters and maintain order. (not saying I agree with the decision, just saying I agree that people are misunderstanding him in their excitement to fight back against ICE)

I see a lot of people celebrating this move by Walz, but isn’t he mobilizing the Guard because he anticipates widespread protests? i.e., to prevent looting and act against protestors?

I think folks are reading it as him going against ICE and I don’t think that’s right.

Well, that didn’t age well. Harumph.

Bravo to @hiltonhotels.bsky.social for refusing service to DHS and ICE. I’ve been a long-time fan, even more so now. 👏🏽

Just want to share with my American friends how the Australians respond to a shooting tragedy. Action, rather than thoughts and prayers.

Ran this LinkedIn poll last week. When burnout is this widespread, you are not the problem. It’s systemic.
