As a prof here at FIT said to me recently, keep 'em talking a bit. It nearly always comes back to racism or anti-Semitism.
My advice for journalists covering education via @thenation.com: pay attention to re-ascendancy of race science on the right and Trump's education moves make much more sense www.thenation.com/article/soci...

@drgillhistory.bsky.social Hi! I'm researching for an immersive event on Venice in the late sixteenth century. Is there anything published that you know of that describes the ritual year? Or how church festivals are interpreted?

Hopeful work by my friend, the amazing illustrator, @anneappert.bsky.social !
Starting the year with What If You Wish? by @anneappert.bsky.social. An uplifting picture book about transforming worry and doubt into hope and wonder. I love the themes of fighting despair by imagining a better world, and challenging the impossible with the question “What if?”

If you're going to roam the streets, use your spray paint for good!
Many commentators say that vigilante groups are never the answer. But they clearly don't know about the masked Ecuadorian trio named “Acción Ortográfica Quito,” who roam the streets at night with a singular purpose: to correct all the spelling and grammar mistakes they find in graffiti.
