Any SW-doctoral peeps around? I am looking to engage more fully in curriculum research for bilingual social workers, but I'm having a hard time connecting with other scholars in the Spanish-speaking diaspora. If interested in connecting, DM pls!

I have such a visceral reaction to bombarding marketing methods for “big ticket movies” (i.e Wicked, “Wuthering Heights” etc). It makes me not want to watch it. Not that I was going to watch this rendition of Wuthering Heights anyway…like enough, we don’t need a Wuthering flavored popcorn.

Yesterday, alongside New York’s Cutest, I was proud to announce a major step forward for early childhood education in our city. We’re officially launching 2-K and expanding 3-K by opening a request for new providers ready to help deliver these essential services.

This latest ICE killing looks like a gang initiation! ICE is now the most dangerous gang in the country. They have a mandate by the POTUS to murder citizens.
Every other country should treat us as an occupied nation where gov't funded gangs are going around murdering and terrorizing people!

My mantra today (and for many days after) is that there is no “good” time to do life things but you should do them anyway because that what makes a life that you want to live.
Whew.

We will either end fossil fuel dependency and the predatory extractivist basis of global production, or they will end us through wars and ecological collapse - all at the same time.

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing.
You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics.
That is all.
