there are many good reasons to go see sinners but one underrated reason is that the music is really fire??? and my favorite queer Smithsonian folkways label ethnomusicologist PhD student JAKE BLOUNT consulted on the soundtrack

At least it is Friday, folks! I'd like to offer space for anyone here who has lost funding this week - be it IMLS, NEH, anything - to share in these replies what you were working on so folks can hear all the great things now at jeopardy. I will be reposting all of them.

We will keep fighting and standing up for science.
Protest sign with black text listing a subset of words that were flagged for further scrutiny by federal agencies (including “bias” “increase diversity” “disability” “racism” “trauma” “victim” and “women”). In large red letters over top, the words “These words kill fascists” is written, an homage to Woody Guthrie.

Mutual aid builds trust. Trust builds relationships. Relationships build organizing. Organizing builds power. Power is how we ultimately win.

Someone is going to write a piece about how that executive order claims it’s defending women but now the National Science Foundation is shuttering programs that serve women and trying to cancel grants that mention women, right? 🧪

🚨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.

as someone who teaches lots of first year writing and professional writing I don't always get to work with tons of theory, but sometimes I swear a really useful bit of theory is the most helpful thing in the world if you're confused or overwhelmed by how complex the world is

thinking about all this because I'm trying to think about revamping my first-year writing course around hope and community change (and also like, in a red state and trying not to say POLITICS or ACTIVISM too early and lose folks who are otherwise down for this work)

so I'm interested in this combo of ideas -- it does seem good and worthwhile to write to my SC governor about food policy--and also like, I don't think it's because I have a real confidence he's actually going to take federal dollars to feed school kids during the summer

I have a bunch of new books coming out that local / university libraries are unlikely to be able to get a hold of (niche queer religious poetry etc etc)-- any reccs for anti-Amazon sources for ebooks?
