Trying to get on social media less often because being angry 24/7 is not good for my spleen, but will increase active work in person and just use social media for event details and connecting to likeminded folks doing similar work.

I shouldn't be so surprised at people still navel-gazing in their work and lives and being apolitical when literally earth-shattering things like this are happening more frequently now. My family is sitting tight in Manila, waiting for The Big One to hit.

It's good practice to lead with what you are doing rather than with what others aren't. Share what you are doing and invite others to join you.

Before my mentor Jon passed away, he warned me there're ppl who don't have my best interests at heart that might want to run a smear campaign against me or drag me down. Not helping my anxiety, of course, but trying my best to just live my life & do my best for my family. It's all I can do. :)

On April 1, ICE apprehended 47 people — including 9 children — at a birthday party in Dripping Springs, Tex. The agency’s only disclosure about the raid describes the operation as targeting people believed to be connected to the Tren de Aragua gang. 🧵

Putting aside the very large problem that these LLMs are often WRONG, cannot understand questions posed with negatives, etc... information has also been contained in, say, BOOKS for hundreds of years. That hasn't rendered teachers obsolete. Like, what are we doing here? 🤦🏻

Wow. Just wow.

Worked things out with insurance. Presented at a colleague's class. Vaccinated against flu and covid. Finished providing feedback for a chapter draft for a book I'm co-editing. Now making a dent in the number of papers I'm grading for three classes. This has been a rather productive week so far.

Even the ceasefire isn't really in effect yet despite the deal. Israel is still killing Palestinians as expected. Are we surprised?

Asha @ashatenbroeke.bsky.social · 9d

Ondanks dat er een wapenstilstand is, gaan veel steden morgen (16-10) door met de sit-ins. Gaza is nog deels bezet, en de apartheid en onderdrukking van Palestijnen gaat door.

Sit-ins zijn meestal op donderdag om 18 uur op het station. Kijk op de insta-pagina van je lokale organisatie voor info.

This is the result of a lot of people pretending racism is one of the greatest taboos in our culture while failing to address racism substantively. People are appalled by the idea of being called racist while being totally committed to upholding racism throughout society.

Every time a Democrat gets caught on tape saying like “Some Trump voters are racist” we have a national scandal and JD Vance demands an entirely new kind of apology and meanwhile every Republican group chat is like “Good morning fellow SS members. Who’s ready to respect Hitler today?”

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight
