Ordinary people working together in solidarity is the only real power we have, and it is the truest and most powerful force in the world. It's hard work and there are no shortcuts.

This is so good: "a woman's cry for power is sometimes part of a matrix of domination". Helpfully highlights all the Deep Green Resistance history too.

Only in America:
convicted felons cannot vote in the upcoming election (except in two states), but a man convicted of 34 felony counts could potentially be elected President of the United States this November.
The student essays that are consistently flagged, for me, by TurnItIn are the essays written in that voice. I’ve joked that AI writing sounds dead inside, and that’s how I can spot it. But it’s a joke because it’s not just AI that writes this way, and I can’t always spot it.
I recently asked my students to imagine human life in 200 years. The class descended into cynical & disappointed laughter. It made me rethink how I talk about collective mortality, in a world that’s on fire: open.substack.com/pub/beatri…

Inspired by ancient political uses of astrology, my students and I have been reading Trump and Biden’s charts.
I’m spending an inordinate amount of time in the copy room for a May term course I’m teaching… because I promised my students that I would provide them with the boutique experience of purely printed reading material, to try and help them focus.
There are a couple of students who’ve told me that I don’t need to make copies for them (they prefer to read online and won’t bother with the paper). But most of my students are grateful and relieved to be able to be off screen.
