I saw Michael Buroway speak at an American Sociological Assocation meeting in the early 2000s, sharing his vision of public sociology. It was inspiring. The man deeply cared about connecting scholarship to working people's lives.
Rest in power, Michael Buroway.

As per usual, librarians are the raddest 🥰
When the Patriot Act was passed, libraries got requests for patrons’ borrowing history. We were prohibited from disclosing those requests.
We deleted and shredded those records and stopped tracking reading history for that reason.

We say that people don't notice constitutional regime collapse because it comes on too slowly but I'm not sure how much faster it could be happening; we are literally at concentration camps on day 9.

As a Minnesotan, I endorse this message @amyklobuchar.com
My new weekly message to my senators, Smith and Klobuchar:
“If you can’t step up to meet the challenges of rising fascism, and you haven’t so far, then you must step down to make room for people who will. You can be grit in the engine, or lubricant. We won’t survive if you choose the latter.”

Like many of you, I've been thinking about how we can prepare for what is to come and have revisited writings by Octavia Butler. Last month I wrote this blog entitled, "How Octavia E. Butler Predicted 2025—and What We Can Learn from Her." #OctaviaButler #OctaviaTaughtUs

How Octavia E. Butler Predicted 2025—and What We Can Learn from Her — Colibrí Collaborative
Butler’s stories offer more than warnings—they offer hope. They teach us that survival isn’t just about enduring hardship; it’s about cultivating empathy, embracing change, and fostering connection.
