I’ve been granted a #Fulbright Scholar Award and will be going to Indonesia to do critical #geography fieldwork on #ocean resource governance in relation to #seabedmining and #BBNJ in partnership with BRIN. Glad to see such issues in the news ⬇️

19 Portland State University Departments are facing cuts or complete elimination. On 3/19 members of SEIU 503-89 rallied to demand the Board of Trustees stop the cuts and secure state funding to grow our university. I stand with my fellow PSU workers in their fight for a fair contract.

Entanglements Lost: My Day at a Geography Conference in San Francisco On making friends with maps and Marxists.

For COYOTE, I wrote about hanging out with a bunch of nice geographers during a decidedly terrible time for academia.

I don't think people fully appreciate how apocalyptic things are for US science. I haven't had any new funding since 2024, but I'm still ok since typical grants are for three years. This means next year I will be completely out of funding and will have to fire everyone in the lab. It's not great.

Thanks, i was confused by the headline because I hadn’t seen anything about that number before. Like how did I miss this? Yup, it was being suppressed. Shameful.

I’d like to be more like my cat, not the other way around.

🚨 STOP. Don’t scroll. Odai is living in constant, unbearable pain. Doctors say his surgery cannot wait. Every hour without treatment could take away his chance to walk again. Time is running out and we are still far from the funds. Even $5 or a share could help save his future.

Yesterday Egypt was also on the list of LEAVE NOW. Now it’s level 2, same as Sweden. 😑

A message from the US State Department from March 2 listing many Middle East countries, including Egypt, telling Americans to DEPART NOW.

A message from the US State Department on March 3 listing the levels of danger for many middle eastern countries with Egypt as the low level 2: exercise increased caution.

State Department messaging on Egypt from day to day is a rollercoaster.
Hello, @travelgov.bsky.social anyone home?

Also i got an email from the STEP program this morning, “The State Department’s Travel Advisory for Egypt remains unchanged at Level 2.” WTF

Every month the United States provides even more reason to boycott its products and companies — the strikes on Iran being just the latest.

In light of that, it’s a great time to ditch the products and services of US tech companies. I made a comprehensive guide to help you.

i was once too broke to move from one apartment in a building down the hall to another post-breakup. moving isn’t cheap or particularly fun &, by and large, trans people aren’t doing great economically. 401,000 trans people fleeing their governments should be considered a fucking national emergency.

I got to talk to Alina for The Anti-Dystopians podcast. It was really fun and I hope y'all enjoy it!

During a dive last year in the Atlantic Ocean off Argentina, researchers documented a giant phantom jelly, a deep-sea species rarely seen since it was discovered a little over a century ago. “There was a mixture of excitement and disbelief,” said one marine biologist. trib.al/HfkWfp4
