Let's think deeply about sustainability. We stand on the shoulders of giants - scholars and activists like @julianagyeman.bsky.social who have called for "just sustainability."

Given the daily delivery of horrible coming out of the new administration, it’s hard to keep track of everything. But it’s important to not look away and not forget that this is happening.

Everyone—whether in higher education or not—should read this clear-eyed assessment of the state of higher education in the US. As the author notes, to protect democracy, universities must be run democratically.
Sobering but a reflection of many convos I've had in the last year:
