I have been actively watching contracts and surge funding over the last few days and what I would say to my friends in Baltimore is “be absolutely ready, right now.”

The Trump administration has rush-ordered infrastructure to conduct raids, abduct residents, and detain people for months.

Is there space for disability in academia?
I was invited to present my book and after I accepted and asked to do it virtually, the invitation was withdrawn. This was not my first encounter with lack of access in academic spaces.

More people have died in ICE custody in last 9 months than in the entire prior 4 years.
We hear of a few, but most barely make the news.
Cases like Randall Alberto Gamboa Esquivel.
He was in perfect health when ICE detained him.
He disappeared in June & by August was in a vegetative state.

I distributed all 150 copies of Megan's "How to Report ICE Philly edition" at Philly Zine Fest yesterday and at least 5 people returned to ask me if it was OK for them to print their own copies to distribute. I responded with an enthusiastic YES - that's the point and I hope everyone does so.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

It’s also incredible how many more places could be made meaningfully COVID-safer with a $200 air purifier and a $50 filter change every 6 months.
I think all the time about how much we could knock down community transmission if people just masked where it’s easy, and how much safer that would make places where mitigation is hard, like nursing homes.
Honestly, I don’t need you to mask everywhere. I just would appreciate it in grocery stores, medical facilities, airports, and airplanes. That would make my life so much safer. Just orders of magnitude safer.
