I went to Oberlin today and while it was lovely, really, it’s an empty shell of a place without @marvie3grl.bsky.social.

I do not WANT to pivot to paper, dammit. There are accessibility issues for students AND for me. What I WANT is for the internet to be treated and regulated like the public good it is, and for us to quit systematically devaluing learning, writing, and thinking for their own sakes.

Time for our weekly reminder that there is only one ed tech investment that is proven to work, and it's hiring more teachers and paying them better.
This decision was made without consulting a single CU Boulder professor with AI expertise. And AFAIK there was one professor *total* involved.

More info, such as it is, here: https://www.cu.edu/gen-ai

A student has asked me about biblically accurate angels in the response to this week's readings and I have truly never read a more perfect set up for a lecture side quest.

Well, I have a deep longing now for the sweater from my ancestral homeland, Czechia. Leads appreciated. And/or patterns.

Minneapolis artists are employing the full power of their creativity and community to fight against the ICE invasion of their city, and their message is loud and clear: Get the hell out.
In Minneapolis, Artists Mobilize to Crush ICE
From screen-printed posters to apparel, beaded earrings, and even spell-casting, the message is clear: Artists want ICE out of Minnesota.

I feel like getting the dudes who demand government issued girlfriends out of the gene pool might be one of those problems that solves itself
📢 “A huge amount of men between the age of 15 and 50 will not pass on their genes. They will effectively die out of the gene pool ... Should society intervene?” Steven Bartlett asked last year.

Springfield (eating the dogs / cats) Ohio desperately needs your help with ICE.

Ohio Gov Mike DeWine said it will be “the next Minneapolis” as 15,000 Haitians (1/4th of the entire city) will have their TPS status prematurely revoked Weds Feb 4th.

I have listened to this, then bought the ebook, sent the link to my dad today (probably not for the first time, actually), and recommended it to one of my classes last week.

It’s a really straightforward and well-written overview of how we got here, sigh.
ps if u want a sense of why people seem so zealously to believe themselves to be pure, just, & right while carrying out acts of unimaginable cruelty, do i have a book for you

Grateful that if I HAVE to be sick (I have a cold), it’s during a week my whole life is shut down for the weather and that I did laundry when I was feeling better, so my bed is extra nice and cozy.
