If it weren’t tied to a horrific program of institutionalized racial discrimination and violence, JD Vance’s statement that immigrant communities bring “premodern conditions” to American cities would only be laughably evil. This administration idolizes barbaric premodernity

Greetings from the streets of Dublin, where evil is still called by its many names, and calls for justice, dignity, and survival can be heard from around every corner, if we just stop to listen #solidarity and #protest in the #LinguisticLandscape

We COULD make our classes more resonant with poetry; we CAN bring not just meaning but hope into the classroom with words like this. So why DON’T we? Bookmarking for the #modals, for anyone else in #Edusky who teaches #English #grammar 🤓📚🚀

“Your words and actions help create the environment around you.” The fact that this hospital’s uplifting message about the formative power of words is a vehicle for a list of prohibitions might leave you wondering: what words create safety, respect, and positivity, and how can we nurture them?

Amazon buying farmland, "de-watering" it to lay cable, creating energy demand double what state currently needs, getting $8 billion in tax breaks. All for whatever Anthropic's next AI model is going to be. This will never be worth the tradeoff.

It pains me to say, but there is no way in hell the U.S. should co-host next year’s World Cup, or for that matter any other international sporting event while its flagrant and racist violations of basic human rights continue unabated. I’m messaging FIFA today to say as much and urge you to, too

It’s easy to diminish the significance of Mahmoud Khalil’s release because of the horrors that have taken place in the time since. But anyone who remembers the response to Kamala’s call “And when we fight…?” can take heart in just how hard Khalil and his family have fought, how much they’ve won.

Categories—the groups of things people naturally put together for some purpose or another—can say so much about a culture. And sometimes devastatingly so. This, on a little free library in San Jose, CA: “Please! No CDs, toys or explosives” #dangerous #books in #public #america

“Distortion” — street art by high school students in downtown San Jose. I assume this was a self-portrait by Zoey Crisan, but it’s hard not to read it as yet another reminder of the distorted reflections that captivate self-loving kings and their doting subjects #StreetPhoto #NoKings
