Today I had the honor of moderating the National Center for Institutional Diversity Anti-Racism Graduate Research Showcase at University of Michigan. UM may have eliminated DEI, but that will not stop these students from advancing equity-centered research. Congratulations to all of the grantees!

I do not know who made this graphic, but it has circulated in my networks and I think it is beautiful and informative.
A graphic explaining immigration rights. There is helpful text on the right and a drawing of a hammer and a pink rose intertwined on the right. The title of the graphic is in a blue ribbon above the drawing and says, “Build a Wall of Resistance”.

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline

But make sure you add alt text!
