As part of the 75th Anniversary of Gregory H. Swanson's successful case to desegregate the University of Virginia, I created a Storymap.

We wanted to share a bit more of the context of Swanson's actions in Charlottesville, and the far reaching ripple that's with us still today.

In case you missed it, this workbook is a guide to thinking through when and how to take risks as a higher ed worker.

It aims to help us differentiate between danger and discomfort, while also offering some practical information about how to protect yourself while taking meaningful action.

We bought a scanner to go through/digitize old family slides during a long-overdue visit back East. My sister and I opened up boxes that we haven’t looked at in decades—slides and photos of our dad’s time stationed in a mobile radio unit (?) in Sendai, Japan (1955-56) + early family trips

the patience 🔥👑
I have so far encoded 2 letters, deployed a very drafty website and untangled a few knots cos git and GitHub and Jekyll are just like that.

And I’ve build the first floor of a Music place so far, adding some sidewalk too

Every cut that the government makes to social services is effectively a tax on women. Because they're the ones who will be expected to fill in the gaps.
BREAKING: 1 in 4 nursing homes say they will be forced to close if Republicans pass Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill.

No grandma should be kicked out of her nursing home so that Mark Zuckerberg can buy another Hawaiian island.
