iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I've had this book launch on my cal for weeks, and it arrives just in time for my second session class to start here, too! Cannot wait to read more of @walshbr.bsky.social brilliant words, and reflect on how we can orient towards a (sorely needed) hopeful vision for teaching and learning. ✨

My statement on President Trump’s combat operations in Iran⬇️

OCASIO-CORTEZ STATEMENT ON
TRUMP'S COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAN
"The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic.

"Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead.President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating "that often happens in war.'

"Mr. President: this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American people.

"Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs have yet to create enduring democracies in the region and this will be no different.

"In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous: Congress authorizes war. The President does not. I will do my part to uphold our Constitution by voting YES on Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless war.

At my first DH conference (2012?), I met @brettbobley.bsky.social in passing. From that quick, likely minute-long convo, I saw a generosity and a kindness that I've carried forward into my DH and personal life. Without the ODH, my world would be smaller and less brilliant. #ThanksBrett

This is fascism—there are no checks & balances if legislators are arrested for questioning a member of the executive branch. I struggle to understand how to best operate in this reality. I'm making incredible progress in my state, but uprooting this kind of evil feels beyond the scope of my office.

A few tips for NEH grantees: 1) if you've spent money on an awarded grant but have not yet drawn down the funds, make sure to submit the paperwork to drawn down funds ASAP. 2) the NYTimes article suggests that "DOGE" might cancel awards. If you receive an email from DOGE cancelling your NEH award,
