yay thank you!! I'm pretty proud of this year's care table. we frantically threw it together just the evening before and morning of. it definitely felt a little stressful--ah the irony. please note my 12yo's contribution: an emotional support capybara (that I crocheted for him!) for petting.

OPM is planning to fire all employees on probation (less than one year of employment). Agencies have until noon on Wednesday to submit a list of probationary employees to the OPM and indicate whether they wish to retain them—though it has been stated that this will not make a difference.

Memos have been distributed to instill fear, warning federal employees that layoffs will begin if not enough people accept Elon’s buyout. This no longer feels voluntary.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

A witch hunt has begun at the FBI. Employees are required to provide information by Tuesday and are being encouraged to report on their coworkers. The FBI questionnaire asks agents about their roles in various cases, including whether they made arrests or appeared in court, among other details.

Billionaire Elon Musk has stated that work is underway to shut down the U.S. foreign aid agency, USAID. Officials have been instructed not to report to work and have been locked out of the building.

An Elon Musk staffer misused the U.S. Marshals Service by falsely invoking their authority to intimidate. USAID security personnel were threatened with action by the federal Marshals Service.

"Institutions of higher education see productivity as a sign of success and wellness, but that pressure to be productive is actively making students unwell... I’m beginning to realize that being a good student isn’t worth sacrificing my own wellness." -student op-ed on dear elia and mental health ❤️

If you’re struggling with alt text due to a disability, or even just having a bad day and can’t brain, typing Alt4Me will ping the feed where volunteers step up to help provide alt text. I struggle with alt text and it’s been a barrier at times to posting. The Alt4Me vols have been a huge help.

a fun quote from an organizer of the event in the closing: "I don't think I've ever been to a Fordham event where the F word was said so much! but yes... what the fuck??" re mental health for all of us right now yes. what. the. fuck. *gestures wildly at America*

I shared a question that I have asked myself continually, especially for the classroom, and I'll now pose it here: how do we build spaces in which unwellness will not be penalized? what needs to be in place for it to be safe to be unwell?
