It hurts my heart how many US universities tell students to "prove to us that you will be an ethical, moral hero who will stand for what's right above and beyond all others" in their admissions essays just to get in, then will punish them when they do just that on campus.

400,000 people in DC today. The largest Palestine protest in the history of the United States.

This Despite the cold weather, the flight and metro cancellations, the supposed fatigue after 100 days of protest. The movement for Palestine will not go away until Palestine is free.

2023 was a very challenging year filled with grief and disappointment but also moments of great joy and hope. While the grief and disappointment remain, moving into 2024 I hope to develop more of a sense of peace with my professional space by embracing this idea from my favorite article of the year.

“...we call on social workers who take the label of abolitionist, radical, or critical, to cease their attempts at acceptance from a system that consistently shows us that it does not care for those it has deemed “incorrect” or disposable. Instead, we call on abolitionist social workers to embrace fugitivity… By accepting a fugitive role within white supremacist systems, we are refusing the limitations they place on us.”

Toward liberation...

A Davenport West High School senior yelled "Trans rights are human rights" during a scholarship ceremony with Gov. Kim Reynolds today.

Reynolds has signed legislation blocking gender-affirming care for trans youth and a "bathroom bill" this session.

Today’s gender is unbounded rage.

[gender of the day @genderoftheday]

Sad to report that as of today, Twitter has implemented the threatened API access changes, and gender of the day—and many bots like it—are no more.

Thanks for all the good times—it's been a pleasure. Take care of yourselves.💕

My partner & I both teach as adjunct faculty at the same school. A few students in their new class said they liked having me so they’re taking their class because we’re married. So incredibly endearing and amusing… but I’ll now need to know who they like more. 😝 #AcademiQueers
