Rest in Power Linda Williams. 💔 (1946-2025) This loss hangs heavy on my heart. Linda was a legend--inspiring feminist scholar, warm interlocutor always generous to students & newbies, and fierce/indomitable presence whose commitment made us all care more. I'm grateful to have known her!! ❤️😢

Thank you, Steph! Congrats and looking forward to your book!
J.D. Schnepf's (@jdschnepf.bsky.social) work on drones and aerial surveillance is stellar across the board, but her intro to the "Gender and Surveillance" issue of RAIS is especially timely"

They are so, so excited to pay a tech company instead of teachers
'A study by the DfE, published on Wednesday, found that using targeted content to train an AI model could increase its accuracy from 67% to 92%.' So many questions begged here.
Make AI tools to reduce teacher workloads, tech companies urged

Bluesky pals, I am soliciting your suggestions for school poems--esp. those where schooling = "immigrating into English."
I've got Scots examples by Jackie Kay & Liz Lochhead; I've got Li Young Lee's "Persimmon" & Hai-Dang Phan's "My Father's Norton Introduction to Literature."
What else? thanks!
