On sunshine and shadows - Iva Cheung
My mother-in-law, Jean Mottershead, has died. She would have been 85 next month. I vacillated about how much of this event to process publicly. After all, her story isn’t mine to tell, and I’m not sur...

Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.

I am trying to raise $200 today for a local disabled friend who is losing #SNAP tomorrow (yes, the court decision is good; no it will not restore things immediately & they need aid anyway!).

If you can contribute, please send with a note that says (SNAP AID): www.paypal.com/paypalme/kar...

The PDF is FREE. If you buy a print copy, $2 will support food security initiatives through the Qajuqturvik Community Food Centre.

This law was clearly made by people who have ZERO idea how universities work. The IU Theatre department is wonderful. They only graduate a few PhDs a year (in Theatre History / Lit) because for many parts of the discipline (acting, etc) an MFA is the terminal degree. The PhD cohort is part of it all
So, here it is. Thanks to a new state law that was NEVER DEBATED, Indiana University has committed itself to abolishing majors in African-American/African Diaspora Studies: American Studies; Art History; French; Italian; Religious Studies etc. DOZENS of majors. www.ipm.org/news-section...
Indiana public colleges cut almost 20% of degrees
Public Indiana colleges and universities have eliminated 19 percent of their degree programs to meet requirements added to the state’s budget, according to the Commission for Higher Education.
