Well it's too late for this timely workshop but back over on the other platform I had found these posts by @lportwoodstacer.bsky.social to be inspirational.
Glad to see that this classic has been updated -- will have to check it out!

Today's news. This new edition. Connect the dots.

So I've been (continually) reading the news, the country & world are a %&*+ mess with more suffering than ever. I'm going to hide out, grateful for work & other sustenance, drink my petit café & read, write, and edit, edit, edit from this little corner of my sociolinguistics/anthropology universe🕊️
Several scholars of color and marginalized academics have said this several times on Twitter and here, but many people remain there because that’s where their communities reside and there are huge exit costs. Not everyone has the PRIVILEGE to leave a community behind.
In the face of these assaults on education & civil rights, students & faculty nationwide are organizing in their communities. Join us. The way to confront those intent on dismantling our democracy is to join together in mass action.

NSF fired 168 employees, leaving the agency less equipped to fund a wide range of scientific research.
I’m not sure the rest of the country fully grasps the panic and anger building in DC, MD, and VA.
The entire economy of this area is about to collapse. Paychecks are stopping. Careers are ruined. Taxes are about to plummet. Yet no one seems able to stop this madness.
The app deadline for the Assistant Teaching Professor opening in my department (Media Studies, U of CO Boulder) is less than 2 weeks away! This is a contracted/renewable, non-tenure-track faculty line. Read on for additional information about the position:

We are, thus, interested in wide and interdisciplinary approaches that go beyond the presentism that often marks media and communication studies, while also engaging with alternative visions of how digitality can be construed, not least from an intercultural perspective.
