Ages 0-4 are the most important, emotionally & intellectually, in human development. Yet, in the US, we have a very high rate of childhood poverty and a broken child care system. Congratulations to New Mexico for leading the way forward for high quality, free child care. Other states must follow.

Today is publication date for our Fragilities volume! "At a time when it may be easy to fall into a defeatist melancholia, if not outright pessimism, the book is an invitation to think from fragility to build life-affirming politics and ethics" It's got an amazing line-up & it is open-access! 🤓

Incoherence isn’t so much a sign of hypocrisy as coalitional speech. The voice of the politician speaks many ways at once. It’s all umbrella and dog whistle, or strategic ambiguities — necessarily so.

Sometimes a writing project takes so long because first you have to build a language world. If you want to eat an apple, solve for Creation etc.

I keep telling my academic friends to turn their books into short pamphlets and to hand those out for free in their communities. I excerpted a chapter from a friend's book last year, made it into a zine, and so far I've distributed 400 hard copies and it's also available for digital download.

Working on a piece that defends funding for NPR and PBS. Whatever their problems, we cannot let Fox News become our default "public sphere." There needs to be alternatives, including imperfect yet aspirational ones.

Yes, university STEM research has produced many wonderful innovations and products, but we need to move beyond pure transactional thinking about value. Research in the social sciences and humanities is just as valuable, as is education in writing and thinking. That should be part of the narrative.
