In the field of public education, the dogma of "separate but free" has no place;
⭐️separate is inherently unfree.
As this Article uniquely clarifies, segregation deprives schoolchildren of freedom to become equal citizens and freedom to learn in democratic, integrated, and transformative settings.
We must name and reclaim these positive, social, emancipatory freedoms

Is Alaska still a State or did we give it back to Russia? (Or was Putin holding out to reclaim Washington state, Oregon, and California?)

"This convening is not an isolated event. It’s the first step in scaling a movement that reimagines how values-driven open science organisations can grow together, share resources, and strengthen the ecosystem we collectively serve. By working together, we can ensure that the future of open science is not only innovative, but also equitable, sustainable, and resilient."

How are you doing these days? If you’re looking at the news or opening social media feeds, it’s a lot, I know.
I continue my practice of writing back to posts on social media. Also its antidote: writing back to works of art served up at random. It’s a little like surfing, taking the waves as they come. It’s a little like dancing. It’s one way to reclaim my attention, one way to stay alive to the present.

Reclaiming the stack: Europe’s bid for digital sovereignty
Gustaf Sahlman, CEO of Swedish ID management firm Curity, argues Europe must reclaim its tech stack to secure digital sovereignty.

It's Hakeem Jeffries. I cannot overstate the urgency of this situation.
Here’s the deal:
– Democrats are targeting 35 seats in Republican-held districts.
– We only need to win THREE to reclaim the House majority.
– Republicans have already raised $36 MILLION to crush our chances.
Now, MAGA extremists are going after ActBlue to disrupt our fundraising and seal our fate.
We cannot let them silence us.
Will you help me turn his attempt to silence us…

Safe Sharing of Fast Kernel-Bypass I/O Among Nontrusting Applications
Protected user-level libraries have been proposed as a way to allow mutually distrusting applications to safely share kernel-bypass services. In this paper, we identify and solve several previously unaddressed obstacles to realizing this design and identify several optimization opportunities. First, to preserve the kernel's ability to reclaim failed processes, protected library functions must complete in modest, bounded time. We show how to move unbounded waits outside the library itself, enabl…

Welcome to The Continental. We Do Hope You Enjoy Your Stay.
Our autonomy of mind is our birthright. It is not ladled out to us from some central pot, and it cannot be taken away from us. But we can give it away, sometimes in pieces and sometimes all at once, and that’s what the semantic system of world-building and script-injection encourages us to do. Enough. Today we begin to reclaim our minds.

Today I looked up at one of those early October brilliant blue skies that grace New York.
One might say that I looked up from my phone, from the other kind of Bluesky which feeds me all the madness of the world.
These days I’m trying keep both skies balancing each other with a practice of writing back to the social media posts I encounter.
From sky to screen to sky. It’s a form of play that helps me reclaim my attention and connect to my sense of being.

Another Blue Sky
A series of prose poems written in response to social media posts on Bluesky.

Given the chance, I think her words could resonate in a Provincial election against both the David Eby #BCNDP and the Rustad #BCConservatives (and whatever other parties happen to pop into existence).
It was nice to see a leader actually genuinely congratulate and lift up her rivals in the contest. A rarity these days in too many party leadership races!
Key lines from her speech:
"take on this province's billionaires, largest corporations, and big oil... who take far more than they give.
"democracy is in retreat around the globe, but I am encouraged to see young people in BC fighting back.”
"the BC Green Party has solutions”
"the BC NDP.. are making decisions based on scarcity and fear”
"David Eby... rolling out the red carpet for Donald Trump's inner circle of oligarchs to buy and control even more of our province”.
"The NDP's big idea… to double down on raw resource exports.... no manufacturing, no innovation, no vision for a future beyond more foreign billionaires ripping and shipping our resources while families wait for the wealth to trickle down.”
“while workers wait for fair wages and homes we can afford, the BC NDP doubles down on MAGA backed fossil fuel projects, ignores the need to obtain consent, and refuses to care for our community members”
”The horrors that we are witnessing now are the death rattle of the old world.”
"it is up to us force a new world through”
"We can build a plan to take back the public wealth that has been looted with real taxation on the ultra wealthy”
"Build on our massive advantage of renewable energy… create thousands of jobs”
"will reclaim BC's economy for working people… together we can build a resilient thriving province that respects indigenous sovereignty and our planetary boundaries.”
“we are worthy of better, and worthy of hope. When we learn to believe that again, we can win.”
