I’m late to the @scalzi.com fandom, but I could not imagine a book such as this—notwithstanding getting a Tolkien reference in the same paragraph as a subtle tribute to the Wilmington Blue Rocks. Cleverly done. And a real balm to my soul to have this to read right now. Grateful.

I really think this is true. When we care about one another, when we form communities based on compassion, we can fight and resist most effectively. Because they can't do that and communities based on cruelty eat their own.
This is what I meant when I wrote that "we can overthrow them with a union of care."
"At schools, volunteers are forming human chains as students and employees enter and leave, with whistles to blow if ICE shows up.
Volunteers—many of them moms already involved at their schools—divvy up tasks, such as delivering groceries to immigrant families..."

Drawing on interviews during/after Covid lockdowns, we show that moms varied in how they approached remote learning, and that intensive approaches led to more burnout, leading to more interest in a return to in-person school

Yup. This is me trying to explain to my partner how the tool that is supposed to better facilitate course access and planning etc. is causing me to have to do MORE work as I migrate EVERYTHING. All Canvas will be to me from here on out is a way to communicate grades.

Public discourse on this subject has utterly failed to direct citizens' attention to the actual problem, which is that a commercial industry is assaulting education. So every week we get another thoughtless op-ed on blue books or the death of the college essay, etc etc.
