24 years ago today, a "renowned hip hop spoken word artist" did his first college show at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine.
That teenage version of me would never have believed that I'd still be touring colleges today, nearly 1,600 college and university events later.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

Not surprised that it's community colleges that are fighting back. Community colleges serve the greatest number of people facing systemic barriers. A large percentage of community college students are the first in their family to attend college.

Grassroots college leader group resists anti-DEI legislation
Education for All, a grassroots network of mostly community college leaders, is spreading strategies for how to resist anti-DEI bills and rhetoric.

Lots of projects in the works this year related to the idea of how writers, artists, and culture-workers can "meet the moment."
A million things to say on that subject, but for now, here's a favorite example (from 5 years ago!): @carlosaglive.bsky.social's "12 Reasons to Abolish CBP & ICE."

I actually wish the media would stop using "DEI" and "diversity hiring" and just get to the essence of the thing and ask:
"Are you saying that this crash was caused by desegregating the races?"
And see what happens.

REPORTER: Are you saying this crash was somehow was the result of diversity hiring?
