Misinformation campaigns that disguise and normalize bigotry and queer-phobia are getting a lot of attention. But this is not a debate. A concerted campaign of lies meant to stoke hatred is putting people at risk. Don’t be fooled. nea.org/nea-today/all-…

Is ‘protest washing’ a thing? It sure is! Fascists manipulate people with flagrant lies on the pretence they supply solidarity. But all they’re doing is mobilizing people to spread fear. The terror is the point. The Tyee thetyee.ca/Opinion/2023/0…

It is very unusual to share vulnerabilities and human problems in academia. I have had to take leave this year because of #BreastCancer. I've healed. I'm physically well and slowly returning to my research, service and later to teaching. (1/7)
