Hampshire College to close after years of financial struggles Hampshire College will close after fall 2026 due to ongoing financial and enrollment struggles.

hampshire is where i did my undergrad and where i realized that yes, i need to be a poet. very sad about this and about the state of education in general.

Strikes me that the lifetime of Hampshire might also be seen, retrospectively, as the length of a certain American period.

I am broken-hearted at the terrible news that my alma mater, @hampshirecollege.bsky.social, after 56 yrs, is closing. Its death is a victory for conformism, for corporatism, for higher education's dull love of hierarchy & status. It's a grievous defeat for imagination & experimentation.

I also want to mark the significance of getting a book about space-time and the cosmos into a publication that is aimed at Black viewers and readers. This is part of why I do what I do.

Black audiences are underserved by #scicomm, and that is a civil rights issue. 🧪📚💙

I said it before and I’ll say it again: publishing keeps trying to find the next Hunger Games but they wouldn’t acquire the original if it were in their inbox today

At some point in the past couple of years I’ve managed to upgrade from “I do not dream of labor” to “I do not dream”

My sweet old man cat's end-of-life bills put a pretty big dent in my bank account, so I've added a bunch of art from Little Thieves to my INPRNT gallery. If you've been hankering for color versions of the book illustrations, or missed out on preorder incentives, now is a GREAT time to get prints!

Did you know that the bees that need saving are NOT honeybees?

Honeybees are the dairy cows of bees. People brought them over from Europe to make us honey.

The problem with honeybees, esp in resource-limited ecosystems (like hey! cities!) is that they compete with our native bees for food.

SAL DA VINCI WINNING IS SO FUCKING FUNNY

insane to watch a single administration speedrun every sin in american history, skipping all the cutscenes that make them tolerable to the public

Be it thy course to busy giddy minds
With foreign quarrels, that action, hence borne out,
May waste the memory of the former days.
