Extraordinary development in COP30 plenary. President gavelled all decisions quickly, without looking up. Now many countries complaining that they had raised flags but were ignored. President keeps repeating "concerns will be noted in report."

Also @erinrpineda.bsky.social had a great thread on assigning physical books in her class a few weeks back with good lessons to learn!

I assigned almost all of Atlas of AI to my students last fall and students really enjoyed it. They said they appreciated the continuity of voice and going deep into a topic. For the next elective course I teach, I plan to integrate more books!

Eh, UofT, Western, and UBC are pretty much the only universities right now with any money for faculty lines. There might be dozens at max that go to Canada, but most institutions just frankly don’t have the budget. I think the narrative of fleeing American academics is a bit overblown in general

I am also on this list and came to BlueSky to complain about it πŸ˜†- amazing that a bunch of PhDs can’t read this paragraph where it makes it incredibly clear why folks are on the list, how they got the info, and how to remove themselves

Shabbat shalom and happy 4th anniversary of being married to @chavezye.bsky.social ! Sad to not spend it together but we will get to spend some time together soon. Also grateful for an amazing week at the C40 Mayors Summit in Rio. Amazing connections and insights for our project.

Head Start closures will have far-reaching and long-lasting consequences. Because the million kids who rely on the program don't have other options. And so, we're likely to see:
⬇️maternal employment
⬆️child poverty, hunger, and homelessness
⬇️school readiness and achievement long-term

I am genuinely confused (and potentially concerned) as to why ISA is sending out different messaging and framing to different segments of ISA membership about traveling to the 2026 conference. These are screenshots from three different scholars I know of the "same" email we received today from ISA.

Folks who spend their time talking about US Politics and don't already have a good background in Latin American politics should try to fix that, because I think it's a lot more insightful than European politics at this particular moment.

This whole thread is really interesting but I really encourage educators to focus on this part- this was is a great and throughtful approach to navigating accessibility needs in the classroom re: tech.

Shabbat shalom! I had a great last two weeks traveling back to Canada and the US for some guest talks and to see my dogs (and Dan). This week was bookended by lost luggage (again) and having a little health flare up (again). Thankfully, not anything some soup, liquids, and rest couldn’t mostly fix.

I’m just loving the fact that the internet has collectively regarded something as mainstream as a brazen museum jewellery heist as a wholesome breath of fresh air in this fucked-up timeline.

Amazing! This was a very "old academic Twitter" moment hahaha.

I thought it might be that because I had a similar issue a few years back. Convienient feature but also annoying when you switch institutions lol

Do you use Zotero or something similar? If so, you can change the redirect address for that!

Why more parents are riding cargo bikes, skipping the minivan Many parents are now are forgoing minivans for greener alternatives: cargo bikes. They have been around for decades, but the advent of the electric bike motor has made them much more popular.

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, β€œI’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.
