It would be really nice if @cswe.bsky.social & @naswsocialworkers.bsky.social took a vocal stand on why social workers students need these courses to be both effective and ethical practitioners with the marginalized populations they will work with.

Yesterday I was told that the class I’m scheduled to teach this month, Confronting Oppression & Injustice, is no longer part of our curriculum. This is a required class yet there was no discussion, no faculty vote, just an email saying the class no longer exists. This is what it’s like in Texas now.

It's really funny that The Art of War is treated as this like alpha male book when it's clearly meant to be read by ancient Chinese failsons because it's all "please don't forget you have to feed your troops" and "if someone asks if you're going to attack them consider lying about it"

“If I can get seconds, thirds and fourths on that raw milk now? Ooh boy!”

Bryce Harper on the birth of his fourth child, a boy, last week: "I've got an incredible wife, man. She pushed that thing out in three pushes and 30 seconds. She's an absolute monster doing it. Women, man, what a breed.
I'm serious, it's an incredible thing."
