I knew they hated education but I have to admit that I didn't realize they hated it THIS much

wait what??

Also? This stuff is NOT NEW. Folks have been saying all of this for years, in some cases decades. We know these things! When will we change them?

Rethinking Doctoral Education: Reflections from AAR/SBL 2025 Yajenlemla

Here's the second piece, reflecting especially on international student experiences: medium.com/doctoral-fut...

The Future of Doctoral Education: What 70 Voices Told Us About Fixing the PhD Listening for the Future

Over the past six months, I've been consulting with ACLS on their Doctoral Futures project. Most of my work is behind the scenes by design, so it's a pleasure to see these write-ups from @treviene.bsky.social and Yajen reflecting on what we've been learning. medium.com/doctoral-fut... +

wtf kansas 💔😭🤬

Came across this really cool paper that is cool for different reasons: (1) the paper itself, (2) the fact that the author ANNOTATED IT BY OVERLAYING IT WITH A COMIC.

I love how certain minds work.

In my experience with cbox-based platforms (KC as well as CUNY Academic Commons) I think it's totally doable, but there also needs to be collective will to proactively use it. That said I'm pretty far removed from both hastac and knowledge commons at this point so take w/ a grain of salt!

K12 educators and families are protesting this as well. There are SO many schools in dense nyc neighborhoods. The proposed buffer zones would make it almost impossible to protest in some areas, and would ramp up the likelihood of unnecessary nypd involvement

Unions, NYCLU Slam Bills That Would Grant Police More Power Over Protests at Schools The City Council heard testimony on Wednesday about the bill, which is part of a package that would also restrict protests at houses of worship.

College faculty unions and the New York Civil Liberties Union are turning up the heat in their opposition to a bill they say would greatly restrict the ability to protest or rally at schools and college campuses.

Absolutely not ok. CEC15 has drafted a statement calling for restorative action in light of these appalling remarks by a CUNY educator in a public forum: drive.google.com/file/d/1DXhG...

nooooooo

And then we wonder why reform efforts fall flat.

The Epstein files document what many women researchers have long experienced but rarely seen laid bare so starkly: exclusion operating behind closed doors, shaping who gets funded, invited, mentored, and taken seriously. How many of these networks, norms, and gatekeepers remain in place?

These discrepancies illustrate how a field of education with roots in eugenics, that developed on behalf of a small number of prodigies and brainiacs, became, in effect, a way to keep a critical mass of well-resourced families and their kids from leaving New York's often chaotic and threadbare schools. A 1979 New York magazine cover story speculated that some districts prioritize G. & T. "if for no other reason than to offer a lure to the white middle class." Nearly a half century

It’s gratifying to see this in print, but I think the point needed to be made more strongly—the at-scale gifted programs we have in New York City were openly and explicitly introduced to slow white flight, not solve a pedagogical problem

Another landmark piece: www.nytimes.com/1979/10/29/a...

Yep. The market problem writ large is exceptionally true in highered. But it won’t matter — and doesn’t matter — to those in charge right now because the point is to strip the institution.

Good morning to everyone with late 80's memories of Casa Bonita, you'll be glad to know the reboot is absolutely as epic and bizarre as you remember it

Oh yay I'm delighted to see you launch this, Hannah!!

genuinely not sure how to approach this experimentation responsibly, though. I really don't know.

New York Attorney General Letitia James said today that her office is starting a new effort to deploy trained staff to monitor and document federal immigration enforcement operations. The initiative, known as the Legal Observation Project, will track reports of major enforcement activity

astro, deployed via github pages

I think it looks pretty ok??? inkcapconsulting.com

yup. And like you say, some foundational knowledge was still really useful but omg I’ve been wanting to do this for literal years and just could not make it happen

I… just used it to redo my website. The process was wild. Now I’m free from wordpress?!? It’s also the first time I’ve touched the command line or github in a decade and that feels surprisingly good too. Still thinking through how I feel about all of this but wow
