Imagine hating Black people so much you don't want clean milk or healthy kids.

NEW: PublicSquare, a website that lets you search for businesses in your community that explicitly want you to know they endorse Trump/MAGA values, is backfiring as people use it to boycott those businesses. www.huffpost.com/entry/public...

Website For MAGA-Friendly Businesses Backfires As People Use It For Boycotts

Social media posts about PublicSquare have gone viral as Trump critics use it to find companies not to support – the opposite of what the site was set up for.

I’m sorry but if anyone believes they sent that letter to Harvard by mistake I have a bridge to sell you and what not. They sent it, hoped for complete capitulation, and when it didn’t work and they got a little egg on their face, the very trumpian internal blame game+public gaslight started

Nobody from Target can explain why they thought ending DEI programs and cutting ties with Black businesses would have no impact on Black consumers spending money in their stores. They knew we'd stop. They simply underestimated the impact of us cutting them off. That's why it's still "no" for me.

All great. I’ve read them all. Some more than 3 times. 4 were book club books with my kiddos.

It would be great if — now stay with me — businesses didn’t raise prices because of the tariffs… INSTEAD, they should add a separate tariff FEE at the end of receipts so people can see that it’s 👏🏾 a 👏🏾 tax👏🏾! Also, make it HUGE. A BIG BEAUTIFUL TAX. #TariffAreTaxes #FinancialStability #TariffTantrum

The stories we tell ourselves and each other, whether they be old or new, are the foundation of humanity. We are the culmination of generations of storytelling. Pass the brilliance of books and story on someone else by donating to your local library. #BookSky #StoriesWeTell #Libraries

Ok. I walked away from my desk! Woooo! Now, I’m rereading a book about ultra-processed food whilst eating Lemonheads.. Aaahhhhhh…. 🫣😬 I’m doing too much and too little at the same time. #BookSky #CognitiveDissonance #IAmOftenTheProblem

Let’s be real — a world without libraries would be pretty boring. No stories, no study spots, no free events, no quiet escapes, no community. Libraries make life better. ♥️

This article by @drchristyrogers.bsky.social & @derekmorgan.bsky.social really helped me jump back into a sibling paper I've been neglecting🫣: tinyurl.com/37edrphj Overview papers are esp helpful when trying to learn or get back to a literature. #ManuscriptMonday #AcademicSky #manythanks

Did you hear this NPR story about how people aspire to be read more books? www.npr.org/2025/04/07/n... As someone who regularly ignores her family to #readmorebooks, I'm curious about how many books you read each year? Do you have a fav I should add to my list? #NationalLibraryWeek #ALA #BookSky

Most Americans want to read more books. We just don't.

When we worry about the declining rates of literacy and a lack of reading skills, it's often about children. But how often are adults reading these days? And what are we reading? A new NPR/Ipsos poll ...

Today, I hosted my 2 kid book clubs. It was 2 hours of laughing & gasps & “SETTLE DOWNS.” But it was also a 2 hours to reflect on the literal & figurative power of transformations — big & small. The power of stories told & stories still to come. It was lovely. #booksky #KidLit #stories #mgbooks

I hope other university alliances start pooling resources and engaging in the kinds of collective action Rutgers is proposing here for the Big Ten. senate.rutgers.edu/report/resol...

Whereas, the Big Ten Academic Alliance represents not only athletic competition but also a longstanding tradition of academic collaboration, research excellence, and commitment to democratic values and shared governance; Whereas, the Big Ten Academic Alliance includes 18 universities with thousands of instructors serving over 600,000 students; Whereas, the preservation of one institution’s integrity is the concern of all, and an infringement against one member university of the Big Ten shall be considered an infringement against all; Be it resolved that, the Rutgers University Senate urges the President of Rutgers University to formally propose and help establish a Mutual Academic Defense Compact (MADC) among all members of the Big Ten Academic Alliance; Be it further resolved that, under this compact, all participating institutions shall commit meaningful funding to a shared or distributed defense fund. This fund shall be used to provide immediate and strategic support to any member institution under direct political or legal infringement; Be it further resolved that, participating institutions shall make available, at the request of the institution under direct political infringement, the services of their legal counsel, governance experts, and public affairs offices to coordinate a unified and vigorous response, including but not limited to: Legal representation and countersuit actions; strategic public communication; amicus briefs and expert testimony; legislative advocacy and coalition-building; related topical research as needed.

Near the end of my 1st yr as an Asst Prof & I still feel like I'm settling in. Luckily, my office is a space that sparks joy and calm. Framed illustrations of Coal from @traceybaptiste.bsky.social's Boy 2.0 & the Chinatown spread from Rainbow Shopping (#QingZhuang) always make me smile.

Entrance of an office where we see a bookshelp, a floor lamp, and a "L" shaped desk with two blue chairs in front.
