"In your view, and that of Pres. Tr**p, more than half the environmental efforts of the EPA, to make sure Americans have clean air and clean water, are just a waste." What a legacy!

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows: An immigration or administrative warrant is *not* a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...

My colleague Kevin and I are co-editing a book (open access) on Queering Art Education: Content, Pedagogy, + Advocacy. Accepting 300 word proposals now through Sept. 30. #queersky #higheredsky #academiasky #educationsky #museumsky #lgbtqsky #arteducation #artspolicy #artsadvocacy

InSEA Publications
Queering Art Education: Content, Pedagogy, and Advocacy
Editors: Courtnie N. Wolfgang and Kevin Hsieh
Section I - Content: Chapter proposals for this section of the book explore how art + design are outlets for self-expression; finding a sense of belonging; resistance; and constructing new cultures related to gender and sexual identities. The focus on this section will be how artists challenge societal and inequitable norms, as well as how queering art + design content encourages empathy and promotes justice in art + design classrooms.

Section II - Pedagogy: This section will feature pedagogical strategies for queering art + design education: strategies for the k12 classrooms, museum settings, + community spaces, as well as other sites for teaching + learning. We encourage practice-oriented proposals in the form of teaching strategies and lesson plans (teaching strategies that authors use in their own teaching that encourage learners to create their own understandings of what it meant as queerness) as well as research + theory-oriented proposals that investigate the broad implications of queering pedagogical practice.

Section III - Advocacy: This section will feature chapters offering frameworks, policy, or strategies that advocate for LGBTQ+ inclusion, representation, + rights in classrooms, school systems, communities, histories, and futures; global perspectives framing the ongoing civil rights challenges for LGBTQ+ students and teachers; advocacy for LGBTQ+ visibility in art + design curricula; and addressing the need for accessible spaces where students can participate in arts + design learning without fear of discrimination, erasure, or violence.
300 word proposals due Sept 30, 2025
Use the QR code to submit your proposal https://forms.gle/5iHU443531uHDJKi9

Shocking, and so wrong. I write about Catherine Flowers' excellent work on environmental social justice in my book Dissident Gut: technologies of regularity, politics of revolt. Outraged that this hard won remedy for sanitation in rural Alabama has been canceled by Trump. Shame!!

Bad news for the news, indeed. I love Northeast Historic Film, for what they do, for the conference on non-theatrical film they have hosted, for their location in a Maine town I love. They do not deserve this. #northeasthistoricfilm #Bucksport #Alamotheater

Someone needs to ask Northeast Historic Film if they'd please get some presence on bluesky. They just lost a significant NEH grant (DOGE mischief) to catalog, digitize and publish the material NHF has collected from 8 Maine television collections over the last 35 years.
