- I don't stay in sessions where the chat is closed. My time and energy are too precious. I understand a lot of well-intentioned people do this, and while they are free to close the chat, I'm also free to leave.
- amb teaches there there is a conversation that only the people in this room can have, and our job as facilitators is to find it. when we set the zoom chat to closed, we are doing the opposite of finding it.

- Reposted by Karen Costa (she/her)"I don't know" is one of the most powerful intellectual positions imaginable. Where you plant your "I don't know" flag signals your research question, methodology, and even what *counts* as evidence. Current commercial manifestations of GenAI make it so you cannot even see the spot on the ground.

- Reposted by Karen Costa (she/her)Too many professors think academic freedom and tenure will always protect us. We need to be better organized as workers.
- Do you/we try to spread ourselves out to fight all the horrors at once or do we choose one horror and fight back deeply with focus? The multitude of attacks feels very intentional. I wish we would be equally intentional in our collective responses.
