Today I finally got paid $1300 for some academic work I did in 2024 and 2025. Hurray for my union for fighting for years to get what the university owed us. And shame on the administration for making it this hard.

S2 felt like hitting as many characters and plot points as possible just to reset the board for S3. Looking forward to what’s next, but definitely disappointed.

The Season 2 of X’Men ‘97 felt like speed running multiple train wrecks. Season 1 had a clear thesis, grappling with self-acceptance and the tensions between Xavier and Magneto’s ideological approaches.

What happens when leftists appropriate corporate lingo to meet the capitalists halfway? Are you ready to activate a “coordinated capacity freeze” and “strategic reset through unsolicited asset acquisition?” #PoliticalSatire #CorporateJargon

Perks of being an indy artist: needing promo pics for a gig and having to play BOTH the introspective model AND the photog who says, “undo another button, show some feet, and look at the camera like you mean it.” FREE show of original tunes at Waterfire Arts Center, Providence, Thu, 8/20, 6 pm.

Designing isn’t just about the final product—it’s about the dialogue we cultivate with our communities. Massive thanks and congrats to the brilliant authors who brought this book to life: Anne H. Berry, Meaghan Dee, and Rebecca Tegtmeyer.

Absolutely thrilled to hold a physical copy of Guiding Principles for Inclusive Design Values. My chapter, "On Design & Dialogue" (p. 104), dives into how conversations shape our practice and the intersection of design and democracy.

🇺🇸 I wrote a new song for the Fourth of July. 🎶 Happy birthday, America! At 250, it's long past time you got over your Founding Father daddy issues 🦅 How are you celebrating (or protesting) Independence Day?

Perhaps the “coming together is NOT how we win” commenter plans to keep coming alone? Or do we think they are more of a “no release until revolution” type? 💦🌈🎹

🎶 “Everybody pick up a brick / Through thick and thin / Coming together is how we win...” Reworked this song for the piano to re-share the message in time to round out Pride Month. 🎹 What are other queer artists working on this month? 🌈

From Reclaim Rhode Island: feeling inspired by the progressive victories in NYC? Here in RI, we have working class champions too! ReclaimRI.org/canvass
Graphic from Reclaim Rhode Island on a blue background. Large text at the top reads, “FEELING LEFT OUT?” with four headshots underneath. Below, white text asks, “By HUGE progressive victories in NYC?” Large red-and-white text responds, “WE HAVE WORKING CLASS CHAMPIONS HERE, TOO!” Additional text reads, “Because every Rhode Islander deserves housing justice, quality healthcare, and a dignified life.” Six more candidate headshots appear near the bottom. At the bottom of the graphic, large text says, “VOLUNTEER!” followed by “ReclaimRI.org/canvass.” The words “Reclaim RI” repeat vertically along both sides of the image.

The heat and drought have been hard on the plants, but the rain has revived the garden, and the harvest continues. Here are some strawberries and red and golden raspberries that I picked today.

Our local has used social media video to both communicate with our members and to show the broader public our union democracy in action. Unfortunately, my amendment did not pass, but it was great practice making and defending a motion as a first-time delegate.

LeeSean 立翔 @leesean.bsky.social · 15/06/2026
I suggested an exception to allow for recording with the explicit consent of the speaker, balancing the privacy and sanctity of the Convention while also allowing individual delegates to document their statements to share with their members. I think this is a common sense compromise.

I made my first motion today as a first-time delegate representing Local 7902 at the UAW Constitutional Convention. We were debating the rules for the Convention, and I proposed an amendment to the rule banning audio & video recording of discussion & debate.

Thanks. I'm sticking it out for my students, but after I teach my last class in the program, I think I am going to need a break from higher ed for a while.

The New School announced that the program I've been teaching for ~10 years will close after the current students finish next year. I stumbled onto The New School's 1919 founding document. Reading it feels like a diagnosis of exactly what's happening there right now. medium.com/@leesean/the...

The recent heatwave and drought conditions here in Rhode Island, which ended with yesterday's rains, have resulted in smaller, drier strawberries. Not as juicy, but they have a great concentrated flavor. 🍓

LeeSean 立翔 @leesean.bsky.social · 08/06/2026
🍓 Monday Strawberry Update: the harvest continues strong with growing yields and consistent quality, The total harvest to date (as of June 8th, 2026) is 3,946 grams (8.7 lbs). This is a 37% increase compared to the 2,880 grams (6.35 lbs) harvested by the same date in 2025.

I got an automated copyright flag on a video I posted last year of me sitting at my home piano playing "Träumerei" by Robert Schumann. Schumann died in 1856. His music has been in the public domain for well over a century. 🚩 I have submitted a dispute.

New level of algorithmic absurdity unlocked! I guess I should be flattered that Meta’s copyright bots think my piano playing is indistinguishable from a major commercial recording? 🙃 🤷🏻‍♂️
