As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

(Following @loriemerson.net I built a unit into the library school intro seminar that proposes libraries as a way of building the electronic/digital world we need outside of oligarchic control… but that we will need to know HOW to built it ourselves… literally.)

“SO HAPPY!” the defense attorney exclaims upon exiting the courtroom. “I hope you are happy too,” she says to the media liaison for the court, who replies, “Well, I’m the media liaison for the court.”

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Ohio State astronomy is still waiting to see what happens with the federal funding landscape before deciding whether to proceed. With programs that are still TBD, I recommend waiting right now because *application fees do not get refunded if they decide to cancel after you have already paid*!!
So far the astronomy PhD programs that have cancelled admissions are Washington, Michigan State, and Case Western.
Sad to see the University of Washington Astronomy Department has suspended graduate admissions for the 2026-2027 Academic Year. astro.washington.edu/graduate-adm...
