Female cinematographers are far and few between. Per the annual industry report the Cellulod Ceiling, female DPs shot just 12 percent of the 250 top-grossing movies in 2024. So, when a high-profile male director hires women it’s a big deal; when he keeps hiring women it’s a big fucking deal.
If you’ve seen “Sinners” you may enjoy this (spoiler-ish) interview from @jazzt21.bsky.social with the movie’s terrific cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw, who also shot “The Last Showgirl.” ALL of Coogler’s features have been shot by women DPs. variety.com/2025/artisan...

Harvard standing up is great. But let's not pretend they were the first or only institution to resist. It is important to recognize the efforts happening all over, and to continue to build on those efforts collectively.

Not former potus saying Harvard has set a precedent for other universities and I have to hold myself back from mentioning Wesleyan, Georgetown law, Rutgers faculty senate, etc. What we're not gonna do is erase the Jesuits! Sigh, let me reread Elite Capture.

Faculty senates at Rutgers University, the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, the University of Indiana at Bloomington, and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst have passed resolutions calling for the creation of a mutual-defense compact. chroni.cl/4cBFrnu
These Faculty Senates Are Trying to Band Together to Stand Up to Trump
The idea of a compact among institutions is based on the idea that there’s strength in numbers, and it comes amid frustration that few presidents are speaking out against the administration’s actions ...

ED says that all of the recent layoffs won't affect the federal financial aid system. I agree with the great people quoted here that processing delays for students and colleges and tech issues will be much more common. August is going to be a mess.
What the Education Dept.’s Job Cuts Could Mean for Financial Aid
Distributing millions of grants and loans can be made more efficient, but without enough people, experts worry that things will start to break.

Your success as a parent is not determined by whether your kids get into elite schools or prestigious professions.
The real test of parenting is not what children achieve, but who they become—and how they treat others.

This is a great overview of the nonprofit and public college closures and mergers announced in 2024, a slight uptick from last year. Keep in mind that some of the closures will not be official this year, not aligning with final federal data that tracks closure dates.
2024 has seen more college closures than last year
At least 16 nonprofit institutions announced closures this year as the sector grapples with enrollment challenges and financial pressures. Various others merged.

We need a much bigger coalition to invest in improving access to college degrees for the folks who most stand to benefit. This must involve countering rhetoric about college’s value or lack thereof based on studies of the already-advantaged.
