This is the situation ICE is leaving detainees in.

The work is still going to bring people home.

so, to be clear: ICE has been doing neoStarlight Tours, if instead of taking natives a three hour walk out of town in -40° and ditching them there without their personal effects, to kill them, they drove folks hundreds of kilometers away and ditched them without their personal effects, to kill them.

"This European opulence is literally a scandal for it is built on the backs of slaves, it fed on the blood of slaves, and owes its very existence to the soil and subsoil of the underdeveloped world."

-Frantz Fanon

"A world of underdevelopment, a world of poverty and inhumanity. But also a world without doctors, without engineers, without administrators. Facing this world, the European nations wallow in the most ostentatious opulence."

-Frantz Fanon

Well shit, good for them! I didn't know about this, thank you!

Denmark is turning off the white light from its streetlamps and painting a road red to solve a nighttime crisis that almost no one sees: urban light was blocking the path of bats Denmark turned part of a road red to protect bats and cut the hidden damage caused by white streetlights.

incredible scenes in denmark: upon discovering that they had been doing something harmful, they decided to stop doing it, and do something else.

much to consider.

I saw a headline
which alarmingly noted:
“Urgent warning
of long Covid symptoms
as number of cases
rise in UK,”
but here, across the pond,
things are quite different,
yes, here we know
that the way to avoid
a rising number of cases
is to just stop counting them.

I feel like Sun Tzu really missed out on "Invent Pete Hegseth and give him to the enemy"

I genuinely struggle as I feel caught between the imperative not to cede space, the reminder that we ARE the majority of the discipline and certainly its future - THEY are the old, phased out, minority. And centering my own dignity in self, and the fact that EVEN the mention of Palestine is lumped.

Shelley Correll, Alford Young, Adia Harvey Wingfield and Heather Washington signed.

This time the letter was signed by the former president, and the future one (notably not all of council).

Notably, they have toned down their reproach of the 2024 Resolution, holding it up as one-of-the-good-ones.

How many ways do they need to tell us that they don't want us before we leave?

Dear Heba, We want to begin by sincerely thanking the ASA membership for the thoughtful, engaged conversations that have occurred over the last three weeks. The care and energy so many members have brought to these discussions reflects how much this association matters to sociologists and how invested we are as a community in its future. We received a wide range of feedback regarding the March 12 email with members expressing support, concern, and questions about the member petition process. We also understand that there is some frustration about the limits of what our association can do to influence global challenges. This email is narrowly focused on clarifying our bylaws. However, there is an intentional, ongoing discussion among Council about key issues, including how we might broadly support Palestinian and other scholars under attack. That discussion reflects understanding on the part of ASA leadership that improved communication to minimize confusion and frustration about policy and process is paramount for the health of our association. In 2023, the membership voted to amend Article 2, Section 9 of our bylaws to clarify that members can petition the association regarding public policy positions only. The amendment was intended to preserve members’ ability to influence ASA’s positions on public policy, while also reaffirming that operational decisions remain under the purview of the elected members of Council. This distinction ensures that governance and operational decisions remain the responsibility of organizational fiduciaries who are legally obligated to the organization, which is standard and best practice for nonprofit associations.

As conveyed by the word ‘public’, public policy positions focus externally, are focused on an issue of public concern to the association, and are intended to influence government actions, policies and practices in higher education, and public opinion. Examples of public policy positions include ASA’s 2004 statement affirming same-sex marriage, 2023 comment to the Florida Board of Governors opposing the removal of sociology, and the 2024 member resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. Proposed actions that concern the association’s business practices, finances, contracts, day-to-day operations, and internal policies including access to ASA listservs and journals, and eligibility to advertise or receive membership and travel support are considered operational, and they fall outside of the scope of what is petitionable under our bylaws. We acknowledge that reasonable people could disagree about how to interpret the language of bylaws, and it is understandable that members have questions about what is permitted. ASA leadership consulted with legal counsel to ensure that the stated interpretation of the proposed petition is in accordance with Association bylaws. There is no realistic way for our bylaws to outline every potential action that would not be permitted. Instead, they are intended to identify actions that are permissible. The definitions outlined above are consistent with the distinction between public policy positions and operational decisions that motivated the 2023 amendment. The bylaws were considered, voted on, and adopted by the membership and we have an obligation to follow them. Over the last few weeks, we have had the privilege of engaging in conversation with members whose views reflect the diversity of our community. What we’ve heard in these conversations makes it clear that we are and we aspire to remain a big tent organization. Diversity of perspectives is a hallmark characteristic of the ASA that makes our community strong. As we look toward…

Though 500+ members committed to boycott he annual meeting, the American Sociological Association just reiterated their refusal to allow a vote on BDS, complete with a throwaway line about how they "might broadly support Palestinian and other scholars under attack".

The Edge of Space-Time: Particles, Poetry, and the Cosmic Dream Boogie NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A fresh, charming, socially conscious tour of the mysteries of space-time, from the award-winning author of The Disordered Cosmos“With this extraordinary book, Prescod-Weinstein cements her status as one of the most accomplished and important science writers of our time” —Ed Yong, author of An Immense WorldIn her highly acclaimed debut, distinguished cosmologist and particle physicist Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein shared with her audience an abiding sense of wonder at the cosmos, while imagining a world without the entrenched injustice that plagues her field. Now, in The Edge of Space-Time, she embraces that cosmic wonder, taking readers on a mind-altering journey to the boundaries of the universe, inviting us to spend time at the edge of what we know about space-time and about ourselves.Guided by her conviction that for humanity to go forward we must know our cosmic past, and drawing on poetry and popular culture—from Langston Hughes, Queen Latifah, and Lewis Carroll, to Big K.R.I.T., Sun Ra, and Star Trek—Prescod-Weinstein renders accessible some of the most abstract concepts of theoretical physics to tell fascinating stories about the history and fundamental nature of our universe. Here we meet the quantum cat that is both dead and alive, learn the difference between dark matter and dark energy, explore the inner workings of black holes, and investigate the possibility of a unified theory of quantum gravity, following our guide out to the far reaches of the cosmic event horizon and down to the tiniest (and queerest) neutrino. Along the way, she calls on us to resist colonial approaches to space exploration and instead imagine a better path forward in our pursuit of humanity’s undeniable connection with the stars.Through Prescod-Weinstein’s clear-eyed and unique perspective, and informed by her deep knowledge of postcolonial history and Black feminist thought, The Edge of Space-Time argues that physics is an essential way for everyone to look at the universe and presents a compelling case that “the edge” is a powerful vantage point from which to see the big picture.
