📚A very dreamy canvas to finish while at Princeton! I had a lot of fun playing with decorative stitches on this one. The 3 weeks flew by (entirely too much fun!) so I’m glad I made time to explore campus with my picnic blanket to find some calm spots to sit, stitch, and reflect on this opportunity.

The Tribune spoke with several Texas Tech professors about new restrictions on instruction related to gender identity. They described a system where politics shapes what can be taught and faculty have little protection if they resist.

Texas Tech system’s vague guidelines on gender identity spur more questions than answers
Faculty have spent weeks seeking clarity on new restrictions, which have often been issued by word of mouth. A written Q&A was rescinded.
