No, no. STEAM. (Sorcery, thaumaturgy, enchantment, alchemy, magic).

Don’t let this moment placate you.
The social and economic systems that have led to our present conditions and the fascists who have exploited them aren’t going away anytime soon.
Now is the time for systems change, and no one at the top is going to bring us that.
It is on us.

i never said my goal was equality. for me black feminist praxis is not about ‘a seat at the table’ next to a white man; it’s another galaxy where there is no concept of a table and there are others forms of communing not based on exclusion, which is what the table metaphor is btw

as everyone knows, coronavirus can only be transmitted when capital isn't being accumulated, so circumvent new lockdown restrictions by simply turning your social gatherings into opportunities for commerce and charging your friends to spend time in your presence

All material for my online courses is open to anyone interested in following along. This semester I'm teaching about the history of the Internet, the culture around it + the role of artists within it, and basic web design with HTML/CSS/Javascript. Feel free to DM if interested!

"The United States is forcing its citizens to bootstrap their way through a global catastrophe, saddling traumatized families with the burden of public administration and amplifying the country’s inequalities."

Our open letter to @Cambridge_Uni demanding they honour their offers to students from Widening Participation backgrounds who have been seriously affected by Ofqual’s completely unfair grading system.
Read the full letter here: docs.google.com/document/d/1…
ALT Cambridge ACS stands with A-Level Students In our open letter to the University of Cambridge we express the profound dismay shared by our members, and the wider student population, in regard to the complete failure of the national grading system and acceptance policy of the University.
ALT "The University’s commitment to access and widening participation should warrant its refusal to use a statistical model that is inherently classist and flawed."
ALT Appeals and resits are not an adequate option; you cannot force these students to entrust their futures to a system that has proven itself to be designed against them.

citing ‘pedagogy of the oppressed’ and then using pedagogy to oppress

Given our far too slow track record on "widening participation", as a matter of principle, @Cambridge_Uni should honour all existing offers made to state sector candidates regardless of result.

Boris Johnson’s govt literally came to power on the back off mass data abuse. This is the story I’ve been trying to tell for last 4 years. And these techno-solutionist algorithms & AIs are being installed in heart of govt. This is just the beginning.

HK police is targeting a US citizen for lobbying my own gov't. I might be the 1st non-Chinese citizen to be targeted, but I will not be the last. If I am targeted, any American/any citizen of any nation who speaks out for HK can-and will be-too.
We are all Hong Kongers now.

Women’s anger at male power abuse regularly presented as path to self-advancement for the women. Voicing fury at systemic degradation is read as opportunistic. Whereas men’s abusive behavior rarely understood as fundamental to how they attained & maintain THEIR power. But it is!

"consulting" with grad students via survey or whatever and then holding faculty-only / admin-only meetings to discuss what to do next is not the same as actually listening to grad students, and it's not the same as holding open discussions with grad students

41 UCSC grad students have been permanently barred from teaching in retaliation for striking. For most of us, this loss of funding means we will have to abandon our PhDs. The UC and our union are entering mediation and we need to put pressure on them to reinstate us. Please sign!
Sign and share this petition to demand that all fired grad student workers at @UCSC are reinstated and all student discipline charges are rescinded!

Writing about Elizabethan colours and, while I'm arguing that they might not be quite as goose-turd exotic as is often claimed, the descriptors in Eliz's Wardrobe inventories are wonderful: ash, cinnamon, citron, clay, cloud, filbert, gosling, iron, rush, sand, sea water, willow
