🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

A fabulous creative activity to document and explore your breath and to begin to destress and move toward healing trauma.

The Executive Order on Native Ed, which included Tribal Colleges, has been rescinded in the first sweep. This took SO much time, energy, effort, simply to bring to fruition. I gotta’ take a minute. 🤬

Had the pleasure of doing a Vanguard podcast with Danielle Boyer and Itzy Morales Pantoja. I tried to rep the #disability activist community as best I could. The episode will be out before the holidays.
