I’m late to the @scalzi.com fandom, but I could not imagine a book such as this—notwithstanding getting a Tolkien reference in the same paragraph as a subtle tribute to the Wilmington Blue Rocks. Cleverly done. And a real balm to my soul to have this to read right now. Grateful.

So it looks like i hadn't mentioned this, here, so just in case let me say this plain: Instructure, the parent company & producer of the Canvas learning management software platform, has partnered with OpenAI, as of last year. There are a number of claims being made about privacy but… well. Heads up

I'm glad to share this new book chapter, written with one of my undergrads. Drawing on interviews during/after Covid lockdowns, we show that moms varied in how they approached remote learning, and that intensive approaches led to more burnout, leading to more interest in a return to in-person school

As a feminist political geographer, I have a lot I might say about the state of things both in the United States and globally...

Today, I see the collectives gathered during a global health emergency being activated once again or otherwise reinforced. What is more, I see refusals, resistance. I see accomplices and allies. I see skill lending and building. I see possibilities.
