i closed a work chapter today. a new chapter begins monday. #urbanplanning

Severance leads the league in random lines we'll probably never get an explanation for unless we're willing to due hours of homework after class

We still don’t know anything about the goats. #severance

Even the Eagans can only afford one egg #severance

Hard, but necessary. It’s been a privilege to work with this board; among the most principled, generous, kind, brilliant, just, + fiercely tender people I’ve met. Looking forward to building platforms, institutions, languages, potentials + possibilities that have these values and voices. Stay tuned.

Today, I had the honor to introduce my friend, colleague, and mentor, Jonathan Pacheco Bell, the keynote speaker at the 2024 OKI Planning Conference. He introduced the concept of #embeddedplanning to hundreds of urban planners across the Midwest. Simply put, "We cannot plan from our desks."

“Urban planning, from its inception, has been a desk-bound practice. It has been that professionals from outside the neighborhoods often do the work for neighborhoods they don’t even go to and don’t know." - Jonathan Pacheco Bell www.journalgazette.net/opinion/edit...

Embedded Planning is the future of our cities. Simply put, we work in the community and not from a desk. Its about getting to know the people, their needs, and their culture. This week, my friend and mentor Jonathan Pacheco Bell will be in Fort Wayne to talk about this praxis. #EmbeddedPlanning

American Planning Association’s Planning Magazine covered our urban planner influx into BlueSky www.planning.org/planning/202...

The Journal for Architectural Education’s Palestine issue — for which I was an issue co-editor — was cancelled by the board of Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture citing risks and “new actions by the U.S. presidential administration” 😐 www.archpaper.com/2025/02/acsa...

Well, this was infuriating, disappointing, and sadly predictable t.co/HImtKwfTPm

A perfect little case study of the cowardice and complicity that, aggregated across universities and associations, is covering the academic industry in shame. www.archpaper.com/2025/02/acsa...

No.

Creating snitch lines where citizens can report one another for wrong-think is totalitarian stuff reminiscent of the Gestapo and Stasi. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

That’s right. ✊ And we will keep fighting until all federal workers are fully protected against these baseless terminations.

"Effectively immediately, race will no longer be considered as a factor in admissions decisions. In fact, to ensure we don’t promote equal access to education by accident, only applicants named 'Bradford' will be admitted to the college."

Are the ideas of a foundational anarchist thinker relevant today? Listen to "Peter Kropotkin: an interview with Professor Ruth Kinna" on the Diplomatic Anarchist podcast: creators.spotify.com/pod/show/dip...

Arrived in Rio 🇧🇷 for Carnaval

the rise of the fascist nerds was anticipated by Ellen Ullman's 1995 essay "Out of Time: Reflections on the Programming Life."

I’m beta testing flashes 📸 and bluescreen 🎥 media sharing apps by Bluesky @flashes.blue @bluescreen.blue @bsky.app

AI boosters in higher ed are so embarrassing - deskilling yourself, for what? Eroding the value of education, for what? Pandering to the interests of the bosses and the billionaires, for what? Accelerating climate change, for what?

I see GCAS College as the future of higher education gcas.ie

A win for adjunct professors at LBCC lbpost.com/news/educati...

Interesting to see these big name universities absolutely crumble and cave — halting admissions, altering faculty labs’ websites, and basically being a bunch of collaborators. Almost like that’s what they were really about all along. Almost like those billions in endowments aren’t for education.

We invite you to join us at Skid Row History Museum & Archive on Friday, Feb. 21 @ 7pm for “Tenants in the Streets,” a discussion feat.

As the possibility of bird flu increases, it's worth thinking of both the monster at our door and the other works he wrote at the time: late Victorian holocausts and planet of slums. Famine, poverty, deteriorating housing conditions, climate change, and pandemics all have a horrifying synergy

Mike Davis wrote The Monster at Our Door, a book on how we have created the ideal ecological conditions for a devastating avian flu pandemic. when Covid happened he wrote an update where he was like "this was practically a best-case scenario compared to H5N1." just something that fills me with dread

The performance review in the latest Severance episode took me back to my last days at a large municipal urban planning agency in Southern California Such experiences are why I love Severance, @benstiller.redhour.com

We created a Know Your Los Angeles starter pack, because the city is confounding, by design, but it is not unknowable. These folks are telling real L.A. stories if you want to listen. go.bsky.app/zi1abc

In her article "Populism, Planning, and the Politics of Discontent" Harriet Dunn shows how the state is reframed as a "guardian" of the public interest to redefine planning as supporting conservatism, rather than as a means for transformative change. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

I recommend Blood in the Machine by @bcmerchant.bsky.social bookshop.org/p/books/bloo...

Congratulations to Super Bowl LIX champion Kendrick Lamar

Kendrick’s American flag motif at THIS MOMENT is subversive. Yes, yes, yes.
