In the courtroom for the CUNY 8 ahead of a hearing on a motion to dismiss. Legendary defense attorney Ron Kuby is here, as is roughly a hundred keffiyeh-clad supporters who've packed the minuscule courtroom, with a hundred more in the hall. A supporter handed out pink carnations to each defendant.

I also remind myself regularly that while I "care" about many things, I cannot do all of the things. It's a big reason I am anti yelling at people who become newly engaged in something that I care about. They are probably like me in caring about a lot but only being able to act on a few things.

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research. I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

Same goes for higher ed faculty in education doing multiple step research rants for 1K. As having dine both, it's ridiculous that our actual job responsibilities need to be supplemented with our own money and our own grant writing as education continues to be defunded

the clear sign that they just don’t see these kids as real people is the endless concern over hypotheticals and the indifference to the reality that actual children are more likely to kill themselves because of these bans

This is my 2nd year at #NCTE24 Last year I was lost, finding my place-this year I was able to learn more about others' work, meet amazing Latine elders and reconnect with mentors who paved the way for me to not just imagine being here but to be here. Truly inspired to get involved because of them
