Famine has now been officially declared in Gaza City.
Families and children are dying of starvation, and this is just not a tragedy - it is genocide in plain sight.
There must be an immediate ceasefire, urgent aid into Gaza, and sanctions on Israel.

I gotta say I find a lot of AI discourse around higher ed very confusing. "if ChatGPT can write your essays is college even worth it?" did people think math teachers were assigning problem sets because *they* couldn't figure out the answers?

When you address your deaf and profound hearing loss audience members, we are pretty highly engaged due to being under-addressed by so many.

Saw Ne-Yo at LAX, totally dressed down but still chic in sunglasses, as we were both waiting to go through passport control.
We made eye contact, I smiled and said nothing. He smiled back and gave a nod as if to say "thank you for not making a fuss".
We carried on through the process quietly.

This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking.
No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was *deliberately murdered* for being gay right after his dog was decapitated.
Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian."
THIS is why Pride is important.
