We don’t make space for flat-Earthers. We also do not make space for people who argue (explicitly or implicitly) that some of our students deserve to be murdered.
The reasons for those two things are not identical — the latter also has to do, for example, with the fact that education requires physical safety — but they rest on a shared principle: free speech means freedom to ignore speech, and freedom to choose which speech we amplify and how. Making such choices is, in fact, the •duty• of upholding free speech.

We didn't plan a long hike today.
So we decided to cycle to the local library and borrow two books. Usually I get them as eBooks, but those were only available as paperback.

On the Anticipation of #Lunar Travel in the Early 20th Century - A Pedagogical Exercise: https://arxiv.org/abs/2605.12582 -> "This article examines, from historical and pedagogical perspectives, Alphonse Berget's anticipation of Earth-Moon travel in Le Ciel (Larousse, 1923), decades before the beginning of the space age. [...] Unlike earlier fictional treatments such as Jules Verne's De la Terre a la Lune, Berget approached space travel using physical reasoning grounded in Newtonian gravitation. [...] His estimated Earth-Moon travel time of approximately 49 hours is of the same order of magnitude as Apollo mission transit times (approx. 72 h)."
RE: #Boycott or economic blackout, #GeneralStrike, and #TaxStrike are escalations. Get in the streets and stay there. This is like a bouncer putting someone's arm behind their back and moving them.
Sometimes people try to slip out of that and fight back. Imagine if a bouncer just let themself get pummeled because they weren't ready, even after the belligerent asshole telegraphed it. A lot of bouncers take martial arts, not because they use it as a first response but because they want to be ready for those edge cases.
Armed revolution is like a bouncer getting down to brawl and calling in their buddy with the zip ties and bear mace. It's not something anyone starts with, or anyone wants to escalate to, but some people can't take a hint and are incapable of doing what's best for everyone.
Always know your next step (even if you hope you don't have to take it).
Imagine if a bouncer was just like, "oh, I asked him nicely but he told me to fuck off. I guess the creep who's punching random people and pissing in the corner runs the bar now."

Happening now in North Minneapolis somewhere just southwest of 2nd Ave N and Van White Memorial Boulevard, police ordering more people with nowhere to go to leave otherwise-unused land by 1pm today. The City of Minneapolis has been using violence (physical force or the threat of physical force) to shove unhoused people around constantly since the destruction of community-supported encampments, and so long as this is allowed, the human right to housing will never be fulfilled. See you there…
any benefits attributed to daylight savings time should instead be attributed to society collectively scheduling activities an hour earlier (relative to the sun cycle that determines our physical reality), which we could do without arbitrarily defining the middle of the solar day as 1pm
