🚨 No. No you cannot violently detain one of his employees and then try to be a patron while his employee is still detained or imprisoned or has been deported. Damn right! This is how natural consequences work.

One of the great heartbreaks of being in the disability community is how often we lose people and how many of our most powerful voices have gone silent. We must live our lives loudly and joyously in their honor and remember that our very existence is resistance.
Oh no I just heard we lost Alice. This is terribly sad. She was an incredible, talented, powerful voice of the disability community. She stood strong for herself and for all of us. She will be missed immensely.
‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’

Large peaceful protests are a standard feature for the weekend between the two weeks of the climate negotiations. Today’s march in Brazil is most notable for its calling for a funeral for fossil fuels (though the fossil fuel swan song is very strong at COP30) www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

It’s like thinking is becoming superfluous to the race to bottom feeding institutional isomorphism
In case you're wondering how higher ed is taking a stand against the planet-destroying plagiarism machine of gen AI -- my employer just launched Jesse, a "virtual engagement officer" -- an AI person-bot to "connect with our community in new and creative ways." You can't even make this up.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
