A child who wasn't vaccinated died in a measles outbreak in rural West Texas, state officials said Wednesday, the first U.S. death from the highly contagious respiratory disease since 2015.

What a sick looking issue. Fiber & textile based art practices and praxis in the South.

Ursula K. LeGuin: one of the GOATs of the speculative fiction tradition.

If you want to bld civic participation, "see what's going on in the community... 👀 if there are any other folks doing those things already + get involved. Are there social studies teachers who are looking for resources? Are there libraries that interested in getting more ppl involved in civic life?"

I linked DOGE staffer Marko Elez to a deleted X account that advocated repealing the Civil Rights Act, backed a “eugenic immigration policy,” and wrote, “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity." He just resigned. www.wsj.com/tech/doge-st...

Absolutely right. Once upon a time, playing politics with the debt ceiling was unthinkable. But during the Obama era, the GOP decided it was, in Mitch McConnell's words, "a hostage worth ransoming." They used it to force spending cuts; Dems should use it to rollback Musk's unconstitutional purges.

Finding their voices (at last)

HAPPENING NOW: members of Get Free are blocking traffic in front of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the main agency where the Trump Administration and its billionaire backers like Elon Musk have been spearheading efforts to implement MAGA’s Project 2025 agenda.

An EEOC admin. judge sent a fiery all-department email this AM alleging: 1. Trump's exec orders & instructions to target private citizens with them are illegal. 2. the judge had sent an earlier email with a similar tone yesterday that later vanished from their sent folder & colleagues' inboxes.

The 19-24 yr olds carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran.

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

The most expensive part of any project—non-profit, for-profit, research at large—is people. Labor is expensive + necessary and *that’s* the reason behind big grant budgets. Researchers can’t live on passion alone.

@ciaramoloney.bsky.social Your article on neurodiversity in *Rocky* is par excellence. I’ve shared it with some of my fellow Rocky fans outside academe and hope to have my undergrads read it in a class I’m teaching over the summer.

this is exactly why i worked on this feature on young people organizing under DeSantis in nov 2023 — fighting for academic freedom, trans healthcare, abortion access, against policing and protest criminalization — they continued against fascism and kept fighting (and still are)

Mac users: Word → Preferences → Privacy → Manage Connected Experiences → uncheck everything. You still get the dumb icon that pops up every time you start a new line, but this at least turns the Copilot functionality off.

So much good trans fiction is coming out right now.

I have struggled with my role is as an Arabic speaker with a platform, in the face of the need in Gaza. I have decided to start a series I'm calling “Voices of Gaza” that tells a fuller story of people’s lives and dreams beyond victimhood. I hope you'll help amplify.
