Ppl think about health equity, too, in terms of blame, deservingness, etc. IOW, the language of public health has no special moral force. It makes those of us inside it feel better, perhaps, but to accomplish anything externally we need to dig into the underlying moral case. 2/2

This is wonderful.

I came to the politics of public health from working on the politics of inequality. I thought that surely people would be less tolerant of health inequalities than of inequalities in eg income. That turned out not to be true empirically, of course … 1/2

Little would have gone back to sleep at 6, but Big wouldn’t let him!!

Julia Lynch @jlynch13.bsky.social · 5h

Fortunately the coffee cup is empty

Julia Lynch @jlynch13.bsky.social · 5h

Exactly. Big (who is 11) could keep doing this all day, or so he thinks. But then the moment he stops he crashes — while Little takes a 10 min cat nap and is then ready to roll again.

If you liked the Bad Bunny show and visual representations in Puerto Rican art, my newly tenured friend Nico Ramos Flores has a forthcoming book: "Archipelagoes of Longing: Puerto Ricans, Resistance, and Memory." It examines PR visual/literary culture as it relates to oppression, migration, & trauma

for my latest @us.theguardian.com talked to teens leading and joining anti-ICE walkouts from TX to MD to WI.

one NYC teen: "I feel scared [of ICE] every day... But I’m not going to let that stop me, because bravery is just the positive way to say you’re scared, and I’d rather be brave than scared."

These are the high schoolers taking a stand against ICE: ‘You can’t let despair take over’

Thousands of students across the US have been walking out of their schools to protest ICE in their communities

If you are looking at 100 whistles and thinking "I don't know that I could give that many away," one of our group members (who is incredibly involved at all levels) has written a guide for how to use whistles as a catalyst to talk to and organize your neighbors.

The dogs are (maybe?) winding down after an extended play session this morning. They were up at 6 and started rassling almost immediately. Perhaps I will actually get some work done when they fall asleep!

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

@Nick_Davidov
Asked Claude Cowork organize my wife's desktop, it stated doing it, asked for a permission to delete temp office files, I granted it, and then it goes "ooops"
Turns out it tried renaming and accidentally deleted a folder with all of the photos my wife made on her camera for the last 15 years. All photos of kids, their illustrations, friends' weddings, travel, everything.
It's not in trash, it was done via terminal It's not in iCloud, it already synced the new file structure.
She didn't have Time Machine.
Disc recovery tools can't see anything.
I called Apple and they pointed me to a feature in iCloud allowing to retrieve files that were saved before but are no longer on iCloud Drive (they keep them for 30 days).
I'm now watching it load tens of thousands of files. I nearly had a heart attack.

Seems like at least part Newf. He’s a rescue so we don’t know for sure.

Julia Lynch @jlynch13.bsky.social · 1d

Very true. Newfs generally find a way to fit. This may be an indication…

They understood his communitarianism to be a great fit for their model of politics. Which confirmed all the reservations I had had about Sandel’s version of liberalism, which are those @kjephd.bsky.social is pointing out in this thread. End.

Julia Lynch @jlynch13.bsky.social · 1d

I got my interview with the leadership, and what they really wanted to talk about was Michael Sandel. (I was worried about getting access, so sent my CV ahead of time, and they saw I had studied with him.)
They were huge fans. 2/

Julia Lynch @jlynch13.bsky.social · 1d

@kjephd.bsky.social is right on the money. By way of illustration, a story:

When I was in grad school I spent some time one summer interviewing members of the Italian far right’s youth wing about their moral economy. 1/

Kevin Elliott @kjephd.bsky.social · 1d

This depicts Sandel as a sort of prophet of our times because his critique of liberalism was centrally about how it neglected & tried to depoliticize moral conflict, whereas a healthy civic republican politics would process it into a shared "public philosophy" via deliberation. This is very wrong.

The pessimist who became a prophet

Michael Sandel was ignored by a generation of political optimists. Now he is searching for a way out of the mess he saw coming

The neighborhood barred owls owls have been superb this week. I don’t know if it’s the cold and snow or what, but they’ve been more vocal in the evenings than usual (to the point where the puppy was a little freaked out!)

Julia Lynch @jlynch13.bsky.social · 1d

They are stunning.
