The audio is magnificent!
Swans in flight, leaving their layover spot on Lake Monona (Madison, WI) for a day out in the fields. Will return about an hour before sunset to the open water (until it freezes over… soon!)

Good explainer for those who don't live here!
For those that don't know, an "ice out" in Minnesota is the date for the disappearance of ice on the surface of a lake or river during the spring thaw. One could also argue that we want an "ice out" on our roads and bridges. And, of course, we want ICE out of the communities they are terrorizing.

Here's to all my fellow light workers and warriors. Rest when you need it... but let's keep our lamps burning.
Collectively, we can't let the flame go out.

And they're coming for Minneapolis and St. Paul very soon. Learn how to be an upstander not just a bystander.
And so it begins. Please remember (just like in Chicago, LA, and Charlotte) get organized and protect your communities. We’re already hearing that people are traveling to New Orleans to help, just as many did in Charlotte.

Yes--this teaching approach right here. What helps anyone learn helps everyone learn. @profsecchi.bsky.social @ebonyteach.blacksky.app
The answer for me - in the classroom - has been to use universal design principles. I don’t give tests, my assignments are open book & can be submitted in multiple ways, I give extensions to anyone who asks. People have family emergencies, work demands, get ill… An inclusive class helps more people.
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

My guess is that the Physics & Nanotechnology Building on the East Bank will end up with Kaler's name on it, because they like to name buildings that the president had a hand in making happen or is close to their area of expertise. Ettinger as interim probably won't get one. Don't know about Gabel.
@snackeru.bsky.social When are they gonna get around to renaming Coffman and naming something after Kaler, Gabel or Ettinger?

There is so much wrong with American higher ed, but I hope folks can view it as a site of struggle rather than a "cooked" institution that should be abandoned.
I am confident that the world that comes after we give up on the University system will be dramatically worse.

THIS. This is women’s reality in this world. It is time right now to face it and blow this system up and burn it down. This will take all of us who aren’t actively working to keep it this way. Examine your role in allowing it to happen, then work harder to support the innovative bravery of women.
