I teach teachers. But I also want to be a bog witch. Maybe I can do both.

One of my "short stories read in high school that haunts me far into adulthood" is "The Use of Force" by William Carlos Williams. It doesn't seem to show up on most people's lists but I've had many opportunities to reflect on it over the years.

I am really excited to be a part of this team. We took our time writing this, putting a lot of thought into how our journeys as #NativesInSTEM were affected by different aspects of Universities and looking for commonalities across the world. I hope folks in academia appreciate this work.

I don't know much, friends, but maybe poetry (and communities that share poetry) can lead to an answer to some of our struggles right now.
"Let it be that great strong land of love / Where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme" (7-8)
I would guess that most of us have read this poem. Some of us (*raises hand*) have brought it into our classrooms.
"Let America Be America Again" by Langston Hughes
Let's read it again. #PoemADayJuly

People living under fascism didn’t survive by giving up joy—they protected it.
They held onto the things fascism tried to erase: art, friendship, jokes, rituals, language, memory.
Not as escapism but as resistance. As proof they were still human.
Joy isn’t frivolous under fascism. It’s strategic.

Can confirm this email is authentic — and about nothing in it is true.
Social Security income is still taxed. This bill does nothing to change that.
It’s willful disinformation on the part of SSA. It’s a lie.

Hi, I think a lot of us received e-mails from SSA saying that social security will no longer be taxed - and that somehow there is "enhanced deductions" (how much enhancement can you make to 0?) for those over 65. What part, if any, of this is true? Thank you!

Trump officials are now empowered to "discipline" federal scientists and "correct" their research if it doesn't advance administration's priorities. Science will undergo a hostile red team review. Fringe and industry-affiliated science will be given more weight. www.eenews.net/articles/tru...
Trump’s science guidelines could amplify climate skeptics
The new White House rules put more power in the hands of political appointees.

#AcademicSky As reported by a UCLA prof: the faculty senate at Rutgers took up the attached mutual defense resolution. Their unions (full time faculty, grad workers, post docs + adjunct faculty) voted to endorse it. Michigan & Northwestern looking into it too.
