Back in Brooklyn now. On my way back, I stopped at my alma mater- Alfred University in a rural one stoplight town of Alfred, NY.

Nice to see my old sculpture and art school building haunts. While I was there I saw a bunch of old and new professors, sat in on 2 student critiques, and met with a promising young neon bender, artist and glassblower,

@AbbeyfuckingDivens

and chatted a bunch with my former neon teacher, Sarah Blood.

The roll of paper next to the neon bombarder in the neon shop is the "high tech temperature guage". Long a controversial practice in neon nerddom, when the paper smokes and discolors- the glass is hot. I aim for incinerating the paper :).

Exciting things to see at the school as per usual- an its nice to be back home. About to head back in to work as I type this.

A neon wall at Alfred University, with various turquoise, pink, red, and purple squiggles, text and shapes.
A roll of paper kept next to neon processing equipment. A labelmaker label reads "HIGH TECH TEMPERATURE GUAGE" atop a wood table
Color samples, looking exactly the same as when I attended 10 years ago. My original neon and glass mentor wrote and maybe made or supervides the production of these back in 2002. Those tubes have been on, and up, since then. One rainbow of argon mercury donated tubes on the right and the same rainbow filled with just neon on the left, brick wall showing the light gradient.
An Abbey Divens piece dealing with chronic illness and medication. Her handwriting is a little sloppy with some crazy bends and blown out powders- which in this case makes the piece stronger. White neon letters reading "CHRONIC LIFE LONG ONGOING" mounted on a white rectangle with two black, visible transformers on the face.

The effort by a number of #universities to create a mutual defense compact is a good start, but y’all *need* to involve #sports. Collectively agree to cancel all of your #college #basketball, #football, #baseball, and #soccer games until the #Trump administration stops attacking universities.

Fuck up the sports and MAGAts *will* start caring.

Today in Labor History April 12, 1935: 150,000 college students protested across the U.S. in the first nationwide student strike against war. Between 1936 and 1939, the movement mobilized at least 500,000 college students (almost 50% of all American college students at the time) in annual one-hour strikes against war.

Grainy black and white photo of students marching for peace, 1935. Some of the signs read: "Schools, Not Battleships!" and "Strike Against Imperialism."

The charges were among the most severe levied against participants in last year’s pro-#Palestinian #demonstrations on #college campuses. >3k people were arrested at college #protests & encampments in spring 2024, but they generally faced misdemeanor charges or saw their charges dropped.

Jeff Rosen, the DA for Santa Clara County, which includes the #Stanford campus, charged 12 protesters w/ #felony #vandalism & felony #conspiracy to #trespass.

#College students see F-1 visas canceled in new #Trump tactic

« …school officials say the govt is quietly deleting foreign student records instead of going thru colleges, as done in the past.

Students are being ordered to leave the country with a suddenness that universities have rarely seen.

In the past, when int’l students had entry visas revoked, they could keep legal residency. »
