Just keep coming back to the fact that keeping people in a constant state of terror is a form of mass disablement and essential to the eugenic project that is the United States.

A fun aspect about healthcare in America is a medication can cost 2.5k without insurance and 7k with insurance, so once insurance caps are taken into consideration, you put 2.5k on your credit card and go into CREDIT CARD DEBT to avoid MEDICAL DEBT.

The first question every single admitted student should be asking of their prospective university program—what are you doing to protect community members from being deported? What will you do when they come for me?

So excited that my dear friend Sangamithra Iyer's book is available for pre-order! This is a memoir more than 15 years in the making--and absolutely worth the wait. milkweed.org/book/governi...

“We are saying that the rhetoric is just as damaging as the bullet or the blow. That is the point of a transgenocide, the loss of life, and it doesn't matter how it happens.”

I’m still thinking about the ethical breach of the publication of Twitch Boss’s journal entries in Allison Holker’s memoir. There is a line in @lillydancyger.bsky.social’s memoir about “there are secrets that aren’t mine to tell.” That is a lesson all memoirists need to consider.

Do yourself a favor and stream A Different Man, a brilliant piece of disability art. Incredible performances by Sebastian Stan and Adam Pearson. Would love to witness it get all the flowers it deserves.

I know academics who use AI regularly, for work and play, and I'd really like them, and universities, to tell me how they contend with AI's bottomless appetites for power and water. Is asking ChatGPT to interpret a Xmas song or making it write your syllabus worth this to you?

Cameron, Ariz. Living on one of the largest swaths of land in America without electrical power, Thomasina Nez's entire life is a scramble to complete basic tasks. To take a hot shower, she must wait for buckts of water to come to a boil on a small propane stove outside her wood framed roundhouse. To make meals, she relies mostly on canned goods because unfridgerated produce rots qucikly in the Arizona heat. Its a struggle to stay warm at night, because she refuses to use her coal-powered heate after its fumes killed her two dogs.

A fierce battle for electric power is being waged across the nation, and Nez is one of thousands of people who have wound up on the losing end. Amid a boom in data acenters, the energy intensive warehouses that run supercomputers for Big Tech companies, Arizona is racing to increase electricity production. In February, the state utility board approved an 8 percent rate hike to bolster power infrastructure throughout the state, where data centers are popping up faster than almost anywhere in the US But it rejected a plan to bring electricity to parts of the Navajo Nation land, concluding that electric consumers should not be asked to foot the nearly $4 million bill.
