Alix Dick would like people to understand that the decisions immigrants make are never made lightly. Nobody leaves home by choice. What happened to her could happen to anybody. It’s a privilege to think that tragedy will never hit you. @anterobot.bsky.social

Uncaring Healthcare: The Impossible Cost of Being Undocumented and Ill in America

Early one Friday morning in the spring of 2022, I get in my car while the sky is still gray. The directions I received the night before take me forty minutes south as I follow the turn-by-turn step…

The US frames certain immigrants as nonhuman and “illegal.” Policies and media depict immigrant communities as a threat to US health. It’s a tradition that goes to the core of America’s settler-colonial foundation. #July4th @anterobot.bsky.social

Just a few miles away from where the Grammys are taking place, an immigrant rights protest shut down the 101 freeway this afternoon. So this vocal support for wildfire relief takes up any and all space for Grammys attendees to address the multiple atrocities hitting this country right now?

*New publication alert* Writing with @philnichols.bsky.social and @anterobot.bsky.social, we trace three waves of Luddism to articulate the possibilities - and pitfalls - of a contemporary Luddite identity and praxis in the struggle against automation and obnoxious machines in education.

An amazing story! Words of encouragement can really carry us. I instantly think of @anterobot.bsky.social who—when things were tough—said just the right thing I needed when I was close to quitting my PhD. Wouldn’t be a Prof w/o him. And if Dr. Crusher remembered me, I’d prolly die. 🖖 #AcademicSky

I cannot say enough about how much I love this special issue - format, content, all of it shines with the possibility when we treat life as precious and unto itself. Please, read, share, use, and did I mention share?

*Taps microphone* Ahem… it’s weird that every year we celebrate just how good a company is at surveying our data use even though being in the top nth percentile of streaming your favorite musician doesn’t mean they are earning a living wage. Anyway, here’s Wonderwall.
