Happy Heavenly Birthday to May Ayim! She would have turned 65 years old today. Although we are not kin, I feel kinship with her. Next August 2026 will mark 30 years since her passing.
After all these years of studying her, I still do not consider myself an expert on her.

Brazil’s former Dictator Bolsonaro will begin serving his 27 year prison sentence for plotting a coup in his country.

I teach big classes, so I get a lot of accommodation letters and I simply follow them and go on with my day because why the hell wouldn‘t I. If I wanted to be a cop, I would have applied.
We need to be able to see that the line "accommodations have gone too far" is an expression of the ableist notion that disabled students do not belong in higher ed. Its fundamentally an anxiety about the fact that disabled students get an "advantage" over abled students.
