Do we need to be designing spaces that can protect our communities from ICE? Can a neighborhood create something like an Eruv that delineates a collective "private domain"? #SafeSpace#CollectiveDomain#NoICE

A couple of weeks ago I had the privilege of sitting down with Dr. Nadine Naber and asking her a few questions about her Humanities Without Walls research project. It was so encouraging to hear about her work—I wish I could have shared our whole conversation, but these are the highlights!

Make your school and/or local library hop on this book by my colleagues in the work here at Elon and elsewhere. Even if you don't need it, someone around you probably does. (I wish I had had it back in the 2010s when I was trying to get our campus-wide LGBTQIA+ stuff off the ground.)
Shaking the Table
Shaking the Table provides perspectives and narratives of practitioners working in, or who have worked in, identity centers. This book features first-person accounts of the complexities, challenges, joy, and resistance practitioners experience while surviving and healing through and from this work.

you put self-driving cars on the road and you kill a person, you should be scared. if you put a chatbot into kids' hands and tell them to use it and they use it and then they kill themselves, you should be really fucking scared. the idea that the wagons should circle *around you* is unbelievable.

"If Amazon is taxing merchants 45-51 cents on every dollar they make, and if merchants are hiking their prices everywhere their goods are sold, then it follows you’re paying the Amazon tax no matter where you shop – even the corner mom-and-pop hardware store."
This is so good from Cory Doctorow on all the tricks Amazon uses to get both consumers to pay more, and how businesses on the platform end up paying it 45-51 cents on every dollar.
Plus he rightly calls for regulatory change, not just individual consumer action
