Today is home-admin day. #ThaiBalcony needs cleaning; I need backups, laptop + Asana cleanup, and the Australian visa. Then packing: Hong Kong for a day, then the US — #CIES2026 in SF with #FreedomOfConscience, a five-day drive to LA (parks?), and then downtown LA with #RaveAsMethod at #AERA2026.

Plus a few important emails and a small grant for #FreedomOfConscience. Two weeks of hammock/sunrise/balcony/7-Eleven work.

Now it’s time for mountains ⛰️ I’m mildly terrified and very curious! Did some usual Nepali shopping–from Diamox to spikes (it's snowing!)–but skipped a SIM card. #DigitalDetox

Committee advances 'freedom of conscience' workplace bill limiting pronoun mandates CS/HB 641, presented as protecting conscience and free speech by prohibiting public employers from requiring pronouns that conflict with beliefs, passed the subcommittee after hours of questioning and a large public-comment record. Supporters say it protects conscience; opponents say it permits harassment. The committee reported favorably as amended.

Florida’s controversial "Freedom of Conscience in the Workplace Act" just passed a crucial committee stage, igniting fierce debates over free speech and employee protections.

Harvard hired a researcher to uncover its ties to slavery. He says the results cost him his job: ‘We found too many slaves’ When the extent of the university’s involvement with slavery was unearthed, a scholar tracking descendants of enslaved workers was suddenly fired

Presbyterian church accused of singling out LGBT people The claim was made after a Presbyterian minister resigned after being investigated for attending the 2024 Pride parade in Dublin.

I am saddened that Katherine has felt she has no choice but to resign from the ordained ministry of the Presbyterian Church in the face of continuing complaints. #FreedomOfConscience
