In which the University of Denver continues its gaslighting descent into cowardice and white supremacy.

The Sloans Lake, CO location of Alamo Drafthouse has called for an Unfair Labor Practice strike!

Screenshots from @alamocollective on IG.

DON’T CROSS THE PICKET LINE 🚫

Strike fund linked here: www.gofundme.com/f/alamo-draf...
Graphic that reads Alamo Drafthouse Workers on Strike! Megaphone and Alamo collective graphic with hands interlocking in solidarity appear on screen Graphic that reads: WHY? The workers of the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema are protesting an unfair labor practice committee by the company. On Feb 3, 2025, over 40 employees were laid off across all three CO locations. These layoffs are a clear violation of status quo, as mass layoffs have never happened at the Alamo before. We are demanding our coworkers are given their jobs back. Graphic with the following text: How can you help? If you were planning on seeing a movie today, we ask that you refund your ticket. Click the link in our bio to send emails expressing your dissatisfaction with these layoffs. Show support on the picket line any way you are able. Donate to our GoFundMe supporting laid off and striking workers. Follow this page for updates. In solidarity, the Alamo Collective.

I love that the co-op honors the labor of drivers by granting them the majority of the profits from ridesharing. This is such a necessary and vital substitute for Lyft and Uber! 💪

In my post-election classes, I've started to share poetry with my students.

These pieces—one by Franny Choi and another by Alexis Pauline Gumbs—give shape to human legacies of violence and unspeakable sadness. They also, I think, help ground ourselves through histories of ancestry and embodiment.
Screenshot of Franny Choi's "The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On," an excerpt of which reads as follows: Before the apocalypse, there was the apocalypse of boats: boats of prisoners, boats cracking under sky-iron, boats making corpses bloom like algae on the shore. Before the apocalypse, there was the apocalypse of the bombed mosque. There was the apocalypse of the taxi driver warped by flame. There was the apocalypse of the leaving, and the having left— of my mother unsticking herself from her mother’s grave as the plane barreled down the runway. Before the apocalypse, there was the apocalypse of planes. There was the apocalypse of pipelines legislating their way through sacred water, and the apocalypse of the dogs. Before which was the apocalypse of the dogs and the hoses. Before which, the apocalypse of dogs and slave catchers whose faces glowed by lantern-light. Screenshot of Alexis Pauline Gumbs's "another set of instructions," an excerpt of which reads as follows: we are asking you to trust your hands. put them on your heart. trust your heart. hear what we are saying. trust what you hear. we are asking you to build a circle. always a circle. not almost a circle. face each other. we are asking you to trust the faces. face the truth. it’s round. we are asking you to make a sound. make the sound you need by breathing. make the sound that calls us in. we are asking you. not telling you. listen. we will not yell. well. not yet. if you can use both hands, use both hands. knowing is not given; it is made. you can make it out of cornmeal or flour, preferably. out of dirt or fertilizer if you have to. let your fingers shape it until they remember the making of the world. then step on it. and see how eas- ily it flattens, how gracefully it changes its shape in the presence of pressure. and remember that there are billions of feet. there is always pressure. A photo of Alexis Pauline Gumbs, a Black writer with a dark afro, appears in thumbnail next to her name at the top of the screen.

Coache faculty survey results for university of Denver, which shows the university as having relatively low percentiles across categories as compared to peer institutions.

Checklist style infographic with Palestinian flag that states "We have now witnessed": Bodies returned to Gaza with organs removed Dead bodies thrown into ice cream trucks Children with no legs or arms Grandfathers kissing their dead grandkids eyes Hospitals bombarded with airstrikes Mass graves of mothers and fathers Children with empty bowls waiting for scarce food Press conferences by children to stop killing them Daughters seeing their fathers burn in front of them For 84 days, we have been asking, what atrocity would be the final straw? What atrocity will make the world say 'enough'? The answer is clear, there is none. #CeaseFireNow

As campus policing continues to expand at my university, the ties between education and carcerality remain wholly unsurprising.

Reminder: Education is a technology of punishment and control.
