I really do love teaching, and I had two great groups of students this semester. But I’m TIRED and looking forward to getting back to writing.

The best reading of this article: Trump is going to use FDA to restrict medication abortion, but he wants to wait until after the midterms so the Republicans don't experience blowback. But that just makes the midterms more important. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The Food and Drug Administration has delayed a promised review of safety data for the abortion drug mifepristone at Commissioner Marty Makary’s request to put it off until after the midterm elections,...

Female reporters who are verbally harassed by Trump should file an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaint against their employers for not protecting them from the president's abuse as they do their jobs. (h/t @airbagmoments.bsky.social)

Gift guide: I am not a podcaster, and you will quickly see why this is not paid. But for the right parent Storyworth is a great gift. As my mother's Alzheimer's kicked in, my sister and I got her a Storyworth subscription. It works just like they say: Mom got a prompt each week via email >

This would be truly heartbreaking. The HPV vaccine is a lifesaver.

I'm furious that RFK Jr & his Great Barrington Declaration/Brownstone/anti-vaxx wrecking crew have the HPV vaccine next in their sights; HPV causes many cancers (e.g., cervical & oral)

Australia launched a national HPV vaccination program in 2007 & is on track to ELIMINATE cervical cancer by 2035

Thanks for quoting me - I wasn't able to listen yesterday afternoon but I am guessing the HPV vaccine will be the next to fall. See @skepticalraptor.bsky.social here - www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalrap...

Props to @haelinchoi.bsky.social and the team from @handsoffnyc.bsky.social @bkindivisible.bsky.social @thenyic.bsky.social and the 1000+ people (incl. Rosa & me) who turned out yesterday for training/organizing events in Brooklyn & the Bronx to protect our neighbors and get Trump’s ICE out of NYC.

'In the winter garden' - my favourite geometric garden aerial that I've ever done! I don't remember if I shared it here or not yet - it has camellia bushes in the centre and beds of winter heather and hellebore :) the geometric landscapes are always more challenging and I love that! #embroidery

Like @prisonculture.bsky.social, I've been worried about the ways popular myths of the civil rights movement make it hard to see how to struggle today.

Ditto. An additional problem for us is that the professional schools are all in on AI, leaving Arts and Sciences as the holdout. And since our teaching and learning center serves the whole university, it’s hard to push back effectively.

I woke up this morning to see that many states across the country have decided to #REJECT the decision to scrap the #HBV vaccine birth dose by #ACIP. Here are some (alt-text included). But who will be left behind? 1/
“A screenshot of a text article discussing a December 5, 2025 ACIP vote to change the longstanding universal hepatitis B vaccination policy for newborns to an individualized decision for infants born to mothers who test negative. The article states that many public health experts and state leaders criticize the change as politically motivated and not evidence-based. Below, a bulleted list names states and health bodies urging rejection of the new guidance: • California – Governor Gavin Newsom calls the decision reckless and says the state will continue recommending the universal birth dose. • Illinois – Governor J.B. Pritzker notes a new law allowing state-specific vaccine recommendations and says Illinois will not abide by the ACIP decision. • Massachusetts – Governor Maura Healey calls the vote dangerous and wrong, and says the state will continue recommending the universal newborn vaccine. • New York City – Health officials say NYC will continue to strongly recommend hepatitis B vaccination for all newborns. • West Coast Health Alliance (California, Washington, Oregon) – Issues a joint statement urging rejection of the new guidance due to lack of credible evidence.”

I hope so, but will call Shapiro’s office on Monday to encourage him. 🤞

(And this is coming from someone who actually doesn’t think it matters much whether a lot of services are delivered by public/private, as long as there is adequate regulation of private sector!)

It’s so basic, but it seems like we often forget that it really does make a difference whether public vs private does many of the things involved in governing (deliberation, redistribution, etc).

Framing GenAI as a battle between teachers and students is a red herring. Students and educators are on the same side. The real opposition are the data extraction firms and brokerages and their allies among the managerial class.

1. Historically, eugenics was not a pseudoscience. It was *science* Almost every scientist, social scientist, academic, etc. believed in the validity of eugenics. You would have to search far & wide to find a scientist that didn't believe in some form of it. They taught it in college!
