Appreciate this Code Switch episode about public schools & the decision that Black (& Indigenous & etc) make: do I put my kid in a predominantly white school where they will get a better education but be the "only", or in a "bad" school with others who look like them? www.npr.org/2026/10/02/n...

My talk with Christine Redfern and Caro Caron about their comic biography "Who Is Ana Mendieta?" was so amazing. I had the chance to talk about destierro (to be uprooted), Latin American art, and transnational feminism.

#TodayInHistory: 🎬 #OnThisDay 52 years ago, the film “The Taking of Pelham One Two Three” opened in theaters. Now heralded as a classic, the 1974 action crime caper flick is the original film by this name. It was also remade in 1998 for TV and as a major motion picture in 2009.“

Our 5yo started a dual language Spanish-English kindergarten this year. We're so excited for him to learn Spanish in school. Especially for me, as I re-claim my culture and language that I wasn't taught Spanish as a child.

We have spent time teaching our boy-child from a young age (like 2yo) to respect girls-children's bodily autonomy. So he has to ask first to hug and not only her a yes, but also pay attention to body language. It's it an enthusiasm yes?

Still thinking about the scene at the end of "Is God Is" where Brown's character sits down at this head of the dining room table while the Twins cower in fear under it.

People sleep on CUNY but it is one of the absolute JEWELS of U.S. Higher Ed and has been for decades. And what's the thanks the system gets??? It has to fight for its life every single year because it has been systematically defunded.

The literacy crisis is not just referring to people's ability to literally read and write. It's also people's inability to read for context. I've been a public educator for over 20 years and I have never, ever seen it this bad.

Please try to reclaim your precious precious attention, at all costs. Do puzzles. Take walks without a phone. Dear god, try to read, almost anything that isn’t a manifesto will really do. You are going to need your brain.

"I build on the translingual nature of their graphic work to argue that the comic reframes Mendieta’s immigrant experience not through the concept of “exile,” but through the Spanish term “destierro,” which is conjugated from the Spanish verb “desterrar,” meaning “to be uprooted or banished.”"

I just...I cannot read how a person can start a prison sentence at 19 and then still be there at 50. All I want to do is tear the entire system down. Start anew. Abolition is the only way forward.
