“And that, class, is why time passes more slowly if you travel at speed, though you need to start approaching the speed of light for the effect to be significant,” Ezra Nolan stated flatly, his eyes drifting to the clock above the whiteboard, wishing with all his strength that time, through some unlikely relativistic effect, would pass faster. Fifteen minutes left. Fifteen minutes until the end of the day, the end of the week, and one day closer to the end of his career. Thirty years of teaching high school physics, and for what?

Recommendations of the Month II.

We’re continuing our monthly recommendations differently. With a very heavy heart but a new determination. We realized in the past weeks the values we stand for would be empty if we remained silent, so we made clear we stand with the Palestinian people. We join calls not only for an immediate ceasefire, but an end to the occupation and apartheid system in place.

Finally, we wish for all of us to keep some glimmer of hope in our humanity by speaking up and coming together. Let this be a reminder to inform ourselves of the peoples’ struggles all over the world and stand in solidarity for freedom and dignity for all.
