Today we’re celebrating the ceasefire and hostage deal — but we’re also committing to continue to fight until we end the occupation and achieve real Israeli-palestinian peace. Until every person on this land is safe, free, and equal.

Spanish teacher friends: Have any of you experimented with project-based elementary Spanish courses? I would love to hear about your experiences. What worked and what didn't? How did you ensure that students incorporated the language and advanced in level?

Every one of Cohen's answers was right out of Israel's political playbook. All the Arabs are *potential* terrorists, their killing of Israeli civilians is terrorism but Israel's killing of Palestinian civilians is justified and proportionate... blah blah blah

Y miles de gotitas violan la gravedad
Me quito la bandera de mi traje espacial
Y escribo en el reverso:
"Yo soy de la humanidad"
La frágil existencia milagrosa y casual
La vida más pequeña vale mil veces más
Que la nación más grande
Que se invente jamás
- La oreja de Van Gogh, "Europa VII"

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver @lastweektonight.com · 10d

This week’s main story is about Benjamin Netanyahu, his time in and out of power in Israel, the extreme voices he’s allied with in his country, and one nifty trick to get John Oliver to do whatever you say. You have to watch the show to find out what it is, but yes, of course it involves horses.

All for the love of the craft or the hope that we might reach or there. In the meantime, I won't be able to retire and live a comfortable life until....who knows.

All of us in academia do. Unfortunately, the world we live in does not value us. I can't think of another profession in which one must have a terminal degree, produce new materials CONSTANTLY, and do so much of our work for no pay.

Found this funky little book in a local bookstore today. Apparently, the author is quite an enigma. Interested to dig in.

I've never felt more defeated than I have the past two months job searching. I've managed to secure a VERY part-time teaching appointment for the fall quarter, but it's not nearly enough and my husband and I are both feeling the effects of being over 40 and financially insecure.

Israel's actions, bombing every fucking thing that it wants, leads to this. Then they claim to be the only safe haven for Jews when antisemitism rears its ugly head again. Do we see no logical cause-effect correlation here??
