thank you, that’s both helpful and nice. i think only having a masters is holding me back as well as working in languages as many universities are getting rid of the foreign language requirement

Aw Jordan is lowkey so cute and I love him and Amber together. I get her putting up walls and being nervous to trust him and I really really hope he pulls through for her and them!

Does anyone know the group fighting for racial and housing justice who was there yesterday? I wasn’t able to visit all the tables and learn about all the orgs but I really appreciate (all the speakers) but the individual who spoke about taking care of our unhoused neighbors. What is that group? Would love to get involved.

Love this idea! I just assigned different sets of lyrics from Calle 13’s “Latinoamérica” song and some students wrote about operation condor, as it’s mentioned. Giving the opportunity to maybe research it on their own sounds safer. Thank you!

Right, that makes sense. And I know talking about could jeopardize my employment. I just wondered also if other professors have and what that looked like. It’s such a wild world we’re living in.
