Prohibiting chalking just feels so unreal to me. (Is my alma mater showing?)
Harvard will adopt University-wide rules on the use of campus spaces that prohibit overnight camping, chalking on University property, and unapproved signage, according to a draft document obtained by The Crimson.
@tillyrobin and @neilhshah15 report.

I had apparently missed the renaming of Wilder House earlier this year.
In a move that more fully acknowledges Smith’s history, three college houses have been named in honor of staff and alums who have contributed to positive social change—both on campus and beyond the Grecourt Gates. smith.edu/news-events/news/h…

Tell Congress: The government should not have the power to decide what topics are "safe" online for young people, and to force services to remove and block access to anything that might be considered unsafe for children. This isn’t safety—it’s censorship. act.eff.org/action/tell-cong…

🧵(1/2) The @MassDPH recently detected West Nile virus (WNV) in mosquito samples from Cambridge. While no human or animal cases of WNV or Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) have been reported, we encourage community members to take steps to protect from mosquitoes:
ALT Protect yourself from mosquitoes. Apply insect repellent. Remove or drain standing water around your home. Install or repair window screens. When possible, wear long sleeves and pants while outside. Learn more at mass.gov/dph/mosquito

Our 24-hour strike has begun.
For the first time in 50 years, @washingtonpost workers are walking off the job because our company is refusing to bargain in good faith and breaking the law.

So many great ideas in this @siminevazire interview.
1) Requiring code, data, and materials to be publicly available.
2) Encouraging scrutiny of published papers.
3) Making the peer-review history public.
👏👏👏

my attempt to give my students some guidance without ending up on a watchlist 💀
ALT A slightly more eloquent version of what I told my philosophy students tonight: Now's a great time to use those critical thinking skills we've been working on! (1) Don't believe everything you see on social media. There's a LOT of mis- and disinformation out there. Check sources. Wait for confirmation. (2) Listen carefully for how people are grouped together. Who says "Palestinians" when they should say "Hamas"? Who conflates Israeli leadership with Israeli people? Who blames Jews or Muslims en masse? (2)(a) Who "dies" and who "is killed"? Who is a "civilian," who is an "enemy," who is "collateral damage"? (3) Who wants to shut down thinking and questions and instead rush into action? What actions and why?

This #BannedBooksWeek, as we watch book bans sweep through schools and libraries across the nation, we urge you to remember that the nation's largest book ban is in our prison and jail system.

Powerful people using sexism as a shield :(
I'm sure Gino & Cuddy are targets of sexism & worse. But scholarly criticism of their work, eg Data Colada's, isn't sexism. Saying it is undermines efforts to combat actual sexism & erodes our field's credibility by silencing criticism.
Hard to condense (you can read the story for free), but Gino says she was treated unfairly by Harvard's investigation and by Data Colada, in part because of gender. She says Data Colada has “targeted the work of prominent female academics,” e.g. Amy Cuddy. chronicle.com/article/schola…

Capitalism actually inhibits tech innovation & prevents its greatest possible uses…
b/c it requires that everything be oriented around profit motive
…as opposed to improving quality of life, responding to people’s material needs, advancing society as a whole, etc
This slogan feels very me (👸🏻⚔), though I don't actually get the reference.
(Okay, I have now looked it up and it's an #OFMD thing.)

Luv 2 subscribe to a publication because they have a small free article limit and the content quality feels worth it -- and then learn things that make you wanna not ever give them money :/
I'm thrilled to announce that when I reached back out to the senior fact checker to raise substantive "factual, legal, and historical inaccuracies", the response was simply: "I understand that the author's perspective is controversial." So that's the @NewYorker now.

I see our country's addiction to defunding things that actually keep us safe and diverting that money to cops instead is going well.
Important thread.
