The NSF grant I co-authored, awarded in 2024 under NSF’s Build and Broaden program, for a 3-year ethnography project with undocumented and formerly incarcerated entrepreneurs was killed on Friday. No surprise, just sad.

Works of art like #Sinners are there to keep us hopeful and inspired through all the hellish things. Masterpiece. Had a huge smile through so much of this film. Movies like this remind us why we fell in love with the movies.
NEW: A federal judge raised alarm Friday that the Trump administration appeared to have deported a 2-year-old U.S. citizen to Honduras with "no meaningful process" — even as her father was fighting to keep her in the country.

Stop-work orders from NSF/NIH trickling in the department I work for (my admin job, not my academic work). Looking at grad student researcher layoffs and entire labs stepping back from their work. Particularly targeting labs doing clean energy and sustainable projects. I'm sick to my stomach.
This week multiple colleagues shared that teaching has been a bright spot. Same here. In my class nearly all of my students take notes in a paper notebook. Yes, real life paper. They were present and on point during discussions, participating with insightful answers. It brought me hope.
We were discussing one of his papers in my Public Sociology course at the same time his passing was announced by the ASA. Happy to be introduced to his work, sad it wasn’t sooner. 🖤
Over the moon to be accepted to the @ucsandiego.bsky.social Dept. of Sociology graduate cohort 2025. #ucsdsociology Much to learn, many to meet, and much work to do. Can’t wait.
Shout out to @watchduty.bsky.social for being an absolute GOAT, not just in the emergency info app genre, but an overall really well designed and full-featured app that just fucking works reliably, is easy to understand, and undoubtedly has saved lives, pets, and property. Y’all deserve a Webby.
Time to get a move-on putting together my abstracts for the @asanews.bsky.social 2025 annual meeting. Can’t wait to see you in Chicago!
One thing before tomorrow:
Use your local libraries.
Get your card.
Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks.
Recommend titles for purchase (usually online).
Attend promoted activities.
Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires.
Tell your kids that libraries are good.
They are.

I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️
Good morning, I'm trans.
I'm ignoring news about who thinks trans people deserve rights & bodily autonomy. I'm focusing on being out & supporting trans ppl in my communities.
Here's a list of resources, I forget who made it initially (sorry!) but it looks good.
