Looking good!

I'm a wine mom lib. Take my cringe.

Tapping the sign.

We ride at 9:35am! No academic is up at dawn.

First things first: organize US universities and colleges from community colleges to state university systems and elite private institutions to collectively resist the authoritarian crackdown on education.

So terribly sad. Andrew Wakefield is a mass murderer.

Facts.

Look at the stock sliiiiiide! Oh yeah!

Made a #cosplay sword for my kid. I rock.

Dear students, faculty and staff, We are writing to inform you about a deeply concerning situation involving one of our international graduate students at the University of Minnesota. We learned that, on March 27 at an off-campus residence, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials detained a graduate student enrolled on our Twin Cities campus. We are actively working to gather more details about this incident.

Well, UMN has officially been hit. We just got an email from our president that an international grad student was detained yesterday. No further details provided.

This. Is. Crushing.

That's so awful.

This part. The sooner faculty and staff at universities realize and act on the assumption that for many boards and senior leadership will use this moment as a pretext to wield the kind of control they have wanted over curriculum, governance, and more, the better.

The perennial cry of, "What's wrong with kids today?"

Cute dog. Cute shoes.

It's wild. It's like they think we can just respawn if they kill the country.

Collaborators with the fascists.

Not surprised that it's community colleges that are fighting back. Community colleges serve the greatest number of people facing systemic barriers. A large percentage of community college students are the first in their family to attend college.

Following a loud public outcry about job cuts at the National Parks Service — and a relentless media campaign from outdoors enthusiasts across the country — it looks like the Trump administration has blinked.

Sadly, we had to learn this at my college. My classroom and office are private spaces. The library and Multicultural center are not. Orwellian.

Leopards just out there eating faces...

He looks shocked. What, exactly, did he think was going to happen coming to Los Angeles?

We made a birthday cake for Mr. Caterpillar!

Small favors...
