And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

Arianna Sofia Veraza and her parents were driving to Sam's Club for milk, eggs and diapers yesterday when they heard helicopters and horns blaring yesterday. They had turned around to leave when a federal agent pepper-sprayed them through a car window.

A very good Watson obit here, written, though obviously not published, years before he died.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

The reality in the UK right is now the ideology of trans eradication is being given more legal protections than the reality of being trans.
And if you can't see that with everything that's going on, then you are part of the problem. Do better, listen to trans people, fight back against the bigots.

I returned to my conference live-posting roots today for a session here in Stellenbsoch. Really amazing presentations on the development of a supervision seminar series, fostering communities of practice, and incorporating Indigenous Knowledge modes and relationality into PhD supervision.
To help bring some of the Postgraduate Supervision Conference to you I'll be live-posting during Paper Session D scheduled to start at 15:45-- we'll hear presentations from conference participants Janet Carton, Tania Crotti, Anna Szorenyi and Kathryn Gilbey and Judith Lovell. #PSCStellenbosch2025
