George Floyd was murdered by police five years ago today.
The Say Their Names cemetery in Minneapolis features memorials for Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Amadou Diallo, Oscar Grant, Korryn Gaines, Freddie Gray and far too many more Black people who died at the hands of police.

Just signed up for a ✨FREE✨ Harvard course—excited to be a student again‼️
I’m a UVa-educated higher ed lawyer with undergrad degrees in Linguistics and Politics; however, I’m keenly aware Foreign Policy and Economics are 2 subjects in which I could definitely improve.

Rest in power, Mr. Floyd, among the many thousands gone.
And we'll never forget the martyrs of Ferguson that tried to prevent your death and so many others... but paid with their lives.

Biomedical science is based on identifying root causes. It’s called etiology.
Bacterial infections, genetic mutations: actual scientists study what causes disease to make therapeutics & diagnostics. That’s our job.
It’s WHY all major health advances exist.

This is a superb piece. It simultaneously made me want to jump for joy and sit with my head in my hands and weep. Pretty much everything Sam Gibbs argues for is what I've been on about for the last decade or more - losses that I've witnessed that have transformed

How we dumbed down teaching - and what we must do to fix it
Over the past decade, teaching has been pushed towards a prescriptive model that reduces intellectual curiosity and overlooks essential classroom engagement, argues Sam Gibbs

I also hope owls appear carrying boxes of wine and ice cream bars, and you invite them in to hang out in your rumpus room while the stars break the darkness with their ancient glow.

Ok, now that I'm rested it's time to talk about AI, writing & the Black Radical tradition!
I grade like a copy editor, which benefits my students in the long run but can be a shock to them at the beginning. Lately students have turned to AI to "fix" their writing, rather than struggle to revise.

I just discovered something INCREDIBLE (derogatory) about AI tools in the humanities. I can't wait to share but it will have to be tomorrow because these grades are due by 10pm.

I post lots about alt text as disability justice. You should use it on all images and enable the “require alt text” setting.
But if your username uses a fancy font, is full of emojis, or has other tedium for screen readers, all your posts are inaccessible, even if you use alt text.

If you don't want to read the academic paper for this one, here's a good summary of it that was published in WaPo back in 2015. The biggest impact universal basic income will have will always be on kids. They will grow up to be better, healthier adults with fewer mental disorders.
