I know people are closely following what's going on the US and the horrors of ICE, but do you know how Canada is quickly and quietly is growing its deportation machinery?

Canada plans to increase deportations by 25 percent over the next two years. 25 PERCENT!!!

Here are 5 other things to know:

Thinking a lot lately about the simple fact that college allows people to spend about 15 weeks immersed in a disciplinary conversation with an expert in that field. And what a special thing that is.

The "jokes" and general callousness in response to the Epst*in emails just affirms my belief that the gulf between survivors of sexual violence and those who aren't / or otherwise do not recognize their experiences as violent is WIDE.

It feels desperately painful to see some of the most morally consistent, fierce, clear-eyed, & principled teachers leave us as f@scism continues to balloon—the same f@scism committed to debility & the abandonment of disabled people.

Elders, oracles, ancestors.

Teen Vogue did some terrific work. Great story here on Teen Vogue and how the Vogue/Conde Nast bosses seem like the "liberal" types who have been eager to use Trump's rise as a pretext to silence progressives/leftists they disagree with. www.cjr.org/feature/the-...
What the closure of Teen Vogue means for journalism.
Condé Nast folded a beloved magazine that treated youth and feminism as political topics, not trends.

"Dawn decided she wouldn't serve the suspension."

Our entire working life is an exercise of "Are you producing enough capital to justify keeping alive?"

It's dehumanizing, exhausting, and traps people in abusive employment situations

i think if the democrats had dug in their heels and said "this is the epstein shutdown. trump is starving the country because he doesn't want the epstein files to come out" they probably could have ended him. so it was very kind of them to not do that

If crime is way down, why are Canadians so afraid of crime? And what are politicians funnelling money into? My latest -- they are boosting policing to police us ... not keep us safe (unless you're rich, which trust me, you are not.)

Were the author not a business school prof high on his own supply of AI hype, he would perhaps be able to comprehend that the answer to the question of why new graduates lack critical thinking skills lies in the normalization of AI, and the pandemic.
The solution is not more AI, Shannon.

Nothing can prepare you for the vacuous nothing that follows completing your PhD. Even though your peers warned you. The total radio silence, especially when you’re not feverishly pursuing academic positions. Scathed.

Probably the most personal thing I've ever written, about living in crip time, about precarity, and how crip scholars grinding in precarity are further marginalized by academia's timezones (and rhetoric of timeliness)

What do I do if there’s a job that I’m ridiculously qualified for and *very* excited about? Like - dreamy job. What am I saying in the cover letter? How can I reach out before submitting or before the deadline to really express how terribly I want to work for/with this team?
