Why do you appreciate unions?
I’ll start:
Weekends off
Paid vacations
Work breaks
Sick leave
Paid holidays
No child labor
Safer working conditions
Health care and retirement benefits

No money for literacy. No national literacy strategy.
Lots of money for generative AI and to create a national AI strategy.
Nothing for people. Just the usual transfer of wealth to corporations.
It’s as if they want us all to be as bereft of imagination, creativity and compassion as they are.

The federal government tabled its long-awaited budget on Tuesday, November 4, 2025 - Budget 2025 I reviewed the document to see what it might hold for literacy, training, and skills development. Not surprisingly, there is no mention of literacy, essential skills, or Skills for Success. Beyond the Labour Market Transfer Agreements, the federal government has not prioritized these areas in recent years.

Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc

“FUCK AI” is turning into a movement.

I wrote about public libraries as spaces of civic solidarity, common knowledge, and public infrastructure — all endangered by commercial and federal saboteurs
Extralibrary Loan: Making the Civic Infrastructure We Need
Amid a war on public knowledge, libraries are pushing outward, enlarging the commons through new configurations of civic and creative life.

This is truly grotesque. Teachers should not be using this stuff. If a school was pushing it on teachers who work with kids I care about, I'd make a big effing stink until they stopped. We have to not give into this.

For those of you who aren't female, we get told we're 'upset' when we take opposing positions or don't like being abused or are actually angry or fierce or outraged, not upset. It's a "calm down, little lady" expression.

Kirk's murder is being weaponized to corral us into a smaller and smaller arena of speech, and it is our job to refuse to be confined, to keep speaking out, to keep making irreverent jokes, supporting progressive voices, chastising the high-profile cowards, and talking among ourselves.

There's nothing mysterious about this push. It's the same push that ed tech has made before, this time powered by AI. We should resist it because it means giving up on meaningful, human-centered educational experiences.
