Incredible. “When we were being stolen from our parents and experienced genocide in Indian Residential Schools, we wondered, ‘Who are the people that will help us?’ Today, we are those people. Today we offer our help, support, and jurisdiction to override these dehumanizing laws.”

“Paris has embarked on a grand transformation, planting 155k trees, adding hundreds of kms of bike lanes, pedestrianising 300 school streets and banning cars from the banks of the Seine. Parking has been turned into green space…Fewer parents fear their child being run over when they walk to school.”

How Paris swapped cars for bikes – and transformed its streets
Under Anne Hidalgo – mayor for 12 years until last week – the French capital added bike lanes, cut traffic and reclaimed public space, but not without resistance

have more thoughts on this but this is basically the aim of the conservative justices in WV v BPJ: to rule that the 14th amendment, due process clause, title 9 etc all apply to """biological sex""" and that therefore trans discrimination is legal because it applies equally to both """sexes"""

this ruling seems to lay the groundwork for a trans bathroom ban, both in schools and in state-run public spaces. if title IX & the equal protection clause do not apply to trans people, there is seemingly little preventing the court from a ruling similar to what we saw in the UK earlier this year

unhinged. the federal government is the largest funder of scientific research in the world. this promises to subsumes all professional activity of federally funded researchers to politiburo control and use budgetary control to starve academic journals and professional organizations

a while ago i wrote a blog on this! transcription can actually be a really productive part of the research process if you let it! mostly that means framing the process differently and setting up your tools to get out of your way wiley.pink/blogs/notes-...

friendly reminder: the white house routinely uses pressers & policy memos to announce actions it does not have the capacity to follow through on! it does so to create an environment of fear & anxiety—and to stir up news coverage that distracts from its incompetence. do not take these at face value!

maybe one upside of the creeping death of google scholar? it could help get rid of the myth that (A) much-cited work is better research and (B) papers that cite more texts are better. shoddy work can rack up big metrics! poor arguments can have long bibliographies! you gotta read it to find out

i feel like this kind of scholarly malpractice only becomes possible because of the twin developments of (1) publish-or-perish neoliberal academic economies and (2) the advent of tools like google scholar making masses of publications immediately accessible. if you compare bibliographies...
