I understand why chatbot cheating happens but every time I read about it I want to gently remind everyone that the point of schoolwork is not for the submission to exist. Teachers are not just greedy for more essays or solved equations. The point is to do the work WITH YOUR OWN BRAIN, FOR LEARNING.

Do Not Be Cynical About Jesse Jackson
He was never the caricature his critics wanted him to be.
Despite the caricature his critics created, Jesse Jacksonβs βpolitical vision was always inclusive, always multiracial, and always opposed to bigotry and prejudice of all kinds,β Adam Serwer argues.

This Is How a Child Dies of Measles
When your family becomes a data point in an outbreak
You thought your unvaccinated daughter had a cold. It could be a week before she's diagnosed with measles. By then, the virus βhas multiplied and descended upon her lungs, kidneys, tonsils, and spleen, down to the marrow of her bones.β Elizabeth Bruenig writes about how a child dies of measles:

βGood girls go to heaven, Bad girls create history.β quoting Zainah Anwar. White font on purple background.
This past week, I completed my 6-year term on the Programme Advisory Committee for @arrowomen.bsky.social . On my latest substack, I reflected on the current anti-rights climate & why we should never, ever take feminism for granted.

A good reference is Nixonβs βWar on Drugsβ. War is the wrong metaphor, IMHO. Understanding a problem and strategising how the treatment benefits majority of people should be the way to go. But some days I feel talking about logic & empathy is just shouting into the abyss. π

When Trump purged the civil service, he did away with some of the employees who understood the government best: βWhatβs been lost isnβt just a sense of purpose,β Franklin Foer argues, βbut a body of knowledgeβa way of making the machinery of the state function.β

Her baby was in the NICU. She was in ICE detention.
Before Trump took office, postpartum immigrants were rarely detained by ICE. Nayra GuzmΓ‘n was detained while her 15-day-old baby was in the NICU.
Nayra GuzmΓ‘n was 15 days post C-section β going to see her baby in the NICU β when she was taken to Broadview and held in custody for about 34 hours.
She slept on a bench and barely got food. She couldn't pump.
Her story is a rare window into the growing detention of pregnant & postpartum people.

According to the UNFPA, there is strong evidence that CSE improves HIV knowledge and self-efficacy related to refusing sex or condom use and contributes to delayed sexual debut and increased condom use, thus reducing sexually transmitted infections, HIV transmission and unintended pregnancy! (2/2)

Sunset over Kinabalu Yacht Club beach
Politics aside, Sabah has the prettiest sunset in all of Malaysia. Many Sabahans I spoke to are jaded with politics; life goes on for most of them. Food on the table, lifeβs comfort (esp. access to running water & electricity), & tarred roads for connectivity are promises they want fulfilled.

Warisan flag
Shafie Apdal bidding for a return as Sabahβs Chief Minister
A good crowd at the Warisan Mega Rally in Sandakan tonight. Shafie Apdal given a rock star welcome. With Sungai Sibuga & Elopura candidates walking on stage to custom, bopping songs. It was also the first time I listened to a bacaan doa that doubles as a political speech - am disturbed by this.

The Warisan Mega Rally in Sandakan tonight has a rock concert vibe, with Shafie Apdal as main headliner. Although thereβs nothing new in his speech, he is consistent with his βSabah for Sabahansβ message. A lot of guilt tripping guised as empowering voters in exercising their voting rights.
