Peach is the best. He loves my sister so much. She was sick today and he crawled right up on her chest and purred until she fell asleep. I miss him. I’m so glad he’s so happy and that I still get to know him.

Walking to my room this afternoon, I realized I couldn’t remember what I’d done all day which is when I realized I’d gotten up at 7am to drive to Cupertino and then back two hours later to check my “I was in the office” box. This work is some of the hardest I’ve ever done - either that, or my brain was in a deep freeze and I’m experiencing the quick thaw that comes from a quick dunk in boiling water. I’m about halfway up the wave before it crests, just about a week and a half more and then I’ll be up on top, beginning to slide down. I can do it. The really big complex set of plans are done and now just have to be reviewed by all of the executives. After that, I have to design all of it and get it translated into a lot of different languages which is going to be intense but I have people to help me with all of that.

I’m thankful I get to have this intensive and experience, before I leave next year, I’m someone who is at my best when I’m this busy trying to solve things that are complicated.

There’s so much to say about the world, about politics, but my brain just freezes up. I’m burnt out and tired by all of it, there seems to be absolutely no good choice anywhere. Gavin Newsom has done some good things for California, and when I look at him, I see a glittery, progressive vampire who is manipulating his way into something bigger. I just don’t trust any of them, not even Bernie, which hurts a little. Most of all, I’m devastated at what these corrupt people have done to all of us, how much they’ve caused us to hate the other how many enemies we have now that we didn’t used to have, and how the collective body of us has allowed that to happen. I do believe there’s a deeper waking up, a deeper consciousness emerging from unconsciousness that sometimes can only happen when rage and war and hatred are the catalyst. Despite that, every single corner of social media feels performative, even me journaling about it, so I’m stopping.

I talked to my brother for a long time today the first time in months, I have really missed him. Things are really good, my niece is having her third baby and we’re all excited. He found himself in our old neighborhood and stopped by our old house – somehow he got invited in and apparently it’s so different. They talked for a really long time, they’re an older couple with a daughter who’s had some real mental health struggles, and tried to commit suicide. I guess she walked into the house, saw the chapel with the Holy Spirit dove on the door and said “dad, this is our house.” That made me tear up to hear I’m going to drive by when I’m there in a couple of weeks and I hope I get to go inside.

By: Tabia Lee

Published: Mar 31, 2023

This month, I was fired from my position as faculty director for the Office of Equity, Social Justice, and Multicultural Education at De Anza Community College in Cupertino, Calif.—a position I had held for two years. This wasn’t an unexpected development. From the beginning, my colleagues and supervisors had made clear their opposition to the approach I brought to the job. Although I was able to advance some positive initiatives, I did so in the face of constant obstruction.

What made me persona non grata? On paper, I was a good fit for the job. I am a black woman with decades of experience teaching in public schools and leading workshops on diversity, equity, inclusion, and antiracism. At the Los Angeles Unified School District, I established a network to help minority teachers attain National Board Certification. I designed and facilitated numerous teacher trainings and developed a civic-education program that garnered accolades from the LAUSD Board of Education.

My crime at De Anza was running afoul of the tenets of critical social justice, a worldview that understands knowledge as relative and tied to unequal identity-based power dynamics that must be exposed and dismantled. This, I came to recognize, was the unofficial but strictly enforced ideological orthodoxy of De Anza—as it is at many other educational institutions. When I interviewed for the job in August 2021, there was no indication that I would be required to adhere to this particular vision of social justice. On the contrary, I was informed during the interview process that the office I would be working in had been alienating some faculty with a “too-woke” approach that involved “calling people out.” (After I was hired, this sentiment was echoed by many faculty, staff, and administrators I spoke to.) I told the hiring committee that I valued open dialogue and viewpoint diversity. Given their decision to hire me, I imagined I would find broad support for the vision I had promised to bring to my new role. I was wrong.

Even before any substantive conflicts came to a head, warning lights started flashing. Within my first two weeks on the job, a staff member in my office revealed he had also been a finalist for my position and objected to the fact that I had been chosen over someone who had been there for years “doing the work.” I would have a rough ride ahead, this person told me—and, indeed, I would. It also soon became clear that my supervising dean and her aligned colleagues were attempting to prevent me from performing my duties.

From the beginning, efforts to obstruct my work were framed in terms that might seem bizarre to those outside certain academic spaces. For instance, simply attempting to set an agenda for meetings caused my colleagues to  accuse me of “whitespeaking,” “whitesplaining,” and reinforcing “white supremacy”—accusations I had never faced before. I was initially baffled, but as I attended workshops led by my officemates and promoted by my supervising dean, I repeatedly encountered a presentation slide titled “Characteristics of White-Supremacy Culture” that denounced qualities like “sense of urgency” and “worship of the written word.” Written meeting agendas apparently checked both boxes.

You may have encountered this graphic or similar ones before. Derived from Kenneth Jones’s and Tema Okun’s 2001 book, Dismantling Racism, it has appeared in different forms on many institutional websites, sometimes provoking controversy. After all, doesn’t the statement that “objectivity” and “perfectionism” are “white” qualities seem kind of, well, racist? On these grounds, the National Museum of African American History eventually saw fit to remove a “White-Supremacy Culture” page from its site in 2020. But if you are wondering whether this document is still circulating and being cited inside publicly funded educational institutions, the unfortunate answer is yes.

As I attended more events and spoke with more people, I realized that the institutional redefinition of familiar terms wasn’t limited to “white supremacy.” Race, racism, equality, and equity, I discovered, meant different things to my coworkers and supervising dean than they did to me. One of my officemates displayed a graphic of apples dropping to the ground from a tree, with the explanation that “equity means everybody gets some of the apples”; my officemates and supervising dean praised him for this “accurate definition.” When I pointed out that this definition seemed to focus solely on equality of outcomes, without any attention to equality of opportunity or power, it was made clear this perspective wasn’t welcome. “Equity” and “equality,” for my colleagues, were separate and even opposed concepts, and as one of them told me, the aspiration to equality was “a thing of the past.”

Having recognized these differences, I attempted to use them as starting points for dialogue. In the workshops I led, I sought to make space for people to share their own definitions of various concepts and then to identify common points of reference that we could rally around, even as we acknowledged and accepted differences of perspective.

In one workshop, for instance, I presented a chart summarizing two different racial-justice outlooks. The first was what I have called the neo-reconstructionist perspective popularized by Ibram X. Kendi’s bestseller How to Be an Antiracist, which presents an individual’s destiny as determined by social identity and holds that present racial discrimination can be an appropriate remedy for past racial discrimination and that ultimate emancipation from racism isn’t possible. I juxtaposed these views with those promoted by the Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism, which takes a more open-ended view of oppression and privilege, wherein human destiny is determined by human choices, racial discrimination in all forms is rejected, and emancipation from racism is seen as possible and desirable. Without editorializing, I gave participants time to notice the differences between the perspectives. We then came together and shared things that these two seemingly divergent philosophies had in common. The aim was to enable a conversation between two perspectives that I already saw at play in divisions on campus about how to approach issues of race.

When I was evaluated as part of the tenure process, some of my evaluators objected to such efforts to identify points of commonality between divergent viewpoints. They also objected to such views being presented at all. One evaluator, who described herself as a “third-wave antiracist,” aligning her with Kendi’s philosophy, made clear that the way I had presented her worldview was deeply offensive. Another evaluator objected to my presentation of “dangerous ideas” drawn from the scholarship of Sheena Mason, whose theory of “racelessness” presents race as something that can be overcome. This evaluator told me that it was disrespectful of me to set Kendi’s and Mason’s views side-by-side or to treat them as at all comparable.

A dogmatic understanding of social justice shaped organizational and hiring practices. One of the faculty seated on my tenure-review committee invited me to join a socialist network she was a member of. I declined, confessing that I don’t identify with that (or any other) political label. She later observed one of my workshops and wrote up an evaluation before meeting with me to have a conversation about the workshop. I had been told that the post-observation conversation was an important part of the evaluation process. When we finally spoke, after she had already drafted her evaluation, she was dismissive and quickly terminated the conversation, stating we had nothing more to talk about. She proceeded to file her evaluation as it was written prior to our meeting.

This evaluator later gave me a “needs-improvement” rating on the rubric for the “accepts-criticism” criterion. Her aligned colleagues repeatedly assigned me the same rating. It was clear that this rating was rooted in ideological concerns, rather than any substantive objections to my performance. Anything short of lockstep adherence to critical social justice was impermissible. “Criticism” was only supposed to go in one direction. Contextualizing my colleagues’ views and comparing them to other approaches to the same issues, much less criticizing them, was “dangerous”; my supposed failure to “accept criticism” was, simply put, a refusal to accept without question the dogmas these colleagues saw as beyond criticism.

The conflicts were not limited to my tenure-review process. At every turn, I experienced strident opposition when I deviated from the accepted line. When I brought Jewish speakers to campus to address anti-Semitism and the Holocaust, some of my critics branded me a “dirty Zionist” and a “right-wing extremist.” When I formed the Heritage Month Workgroup, bringing together community members to create a multifaith holiday and heritage month calendar, the De Anza student government voted to support this effort. However, my officemates and dean explained to me that such a project was unacceptable, because it didn’t focus on “decentering whiteness.”

When I later sought the support of our academic senate for the Heritage Month project, one opponent asked me if it was “about all the Jewish-inclusion stuff you have been pushing here,” and argued that the senate shouldn’t support the Heritage Month Workgroup efforts, because I was attempting to “turn our school into a religious school.” The senate president deferred to this claim, and the workgroup was denied support.

Just hours after this senate meeting, a group of colleagues attended the Foothill-De Anza Board of Trustees meeting and called for my immediate termination. (A public video of this meeting is available.) These individuals claimed to represent campus racial-affinity groups, but they hadn’t polled their group members or gotten consensus on the statements they issued. This sort of dynamic, where single individuals present themselves as speaking for entire groups, is part and parcel of the critical-social-justice approach. It allows individuals to present their ideological viewpoints as unassailable, since they supposedly represent the experience of the entire identity group to which they belong. Hence, any criticism can be framed as an attack on the group.

The majority of the people employed at De Anza College aren’t ideological extremists. During my time there, people who had previously opted not to engage with my office started to attend my workshops and told me how refreshing my approach was. When under review, I presented letters from collaborators who worked with me on each workshop I facilitated, participant evaluations, and a great deal of other material attesting to the positive impact of my work. None of these things mattered to the board of trustees, the chancellor, or the president. Only the narratives that were put forth by the ideologically biased evaluators mattered. I was fired, in other words, for delivering exactly what I had promised to in my job interview. For those who sought my termination, the same approach that appealed to faculty previously alienated by my office’s divisive callout culture was a threat to the college’s “equity progress.”

For those within the critical-social-justice-ideological complex, asking questions, encouraging other people to ask questions, and considering multiple perspectives—all of these things, which should be central to academic work, are an existential danger. The advocates of critical social justice emphasize oppression and tribalistic identity, and believe that a just society must ensure equality of outcomes; this is in contrast to a classical social-justice approach, which focuses on freedom and individuality, understands knowledge as objective and tied to agency and free will, and believes that a just society emphasizes equality of opportunity. The monoculture of critical social justice needs to suppress this alternative worldview and insulate itself from criticism so its advocates can maintain their dominant position. Protection of orthodoxy supersedes all else: collegiality, professionalism, the truth.

My case, sadly, isn’t unique. At colleges across the country, critical-social-justice adherents are inserting their ideological stances as the supreme determinants of whether candidates advance in the tenure-review process. Faculty are under pressure to profess their allegiance to this particular set of dogmas and to embed a certain way of talking and thinking about race into their course curriculum. They are being encouraged to categorize every student as a victim or an oppressor, and to devote their classes to indoctrination.

If certain ideologues have their way, compelled speech will become an even more common aspect of university life. Faculty and staff will be obligated to declare their gender pronouns and to use gender-neutral terms like “Latinx” and “Filipinx,” even as many members of the groups in question view these terms as expressions of cultural and linguistic imperialism. Soon enough, we may also be formally required to start all classes and meetings with land acknowledgments, regardless of how empty a gesture this may seem to living members of tribal nations.

All of these things are on the horizon, because faculty members are afraid to resist. They know that anyone who questions these practices will be accused of racism and other grave sins. Because critical-social-justice advocates often present themselves as representatives of their identity groups, any criticisms of them can be treated as an attack on the groups they claim to stand for. By this and other means, they ensure their worldview is unassailable. Although I knew I had colleagues who supported my approach, most had been pressured into silence.

As my experience shows, questioning the reigning orthodoxies does carry many risks. But the alternative is worse. Authoritarian ideologies advance through a reliance on intimidation and the compliance of the majority, which cowers in silence—instead of speaking up. Engaging in civil discourse and ensuring that multiple perspectives are presented are crucial, if we want to preserve the components of education that ideologues are seeking to destroy.

There is some reason to hope. Since my firing, I have been contacted by scores of people who have said that they are attempting to resist similar pressures. As bleak as things may seem, there are many who still believe in academia as a space where divergent viewpoints can and must be explored.

If you took this story and changed some of the nouns, it could easily be the story of an atheist at an institution dominated by religious people.

You can't just be an atheist and a moral person. Being one of the Good™ people isn't about being moral or ethical, because they define it as being a member of the religion. Every atheist has encountered this.

Matthew 12:30

He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

https://quranx.com/63.4

They are as (worthless as hollow) pieces of timber propped up, (unable to stand on their own). They think that every cry is against them. They are the enemies; so beware of them. The curse of Allah be on them! How are they deluded (away from the Truth)!

When you are a member, it doesn't even matter how you behave or what you do (unless you do anything too much like the Bad™ people), because you're one of the tribe and, by definition, one of Us™ and we are Good™.

This is exactly the same thing. It's not enough to be antiracist in a liberal way ("the content of their character") or even in a Xian way ("we are all God's children"). No, you have to be "antiracist" on their terms. It's not about shared values or ideals, or even results. It's about compliance with their dogma and yielding to their (imagined) moral authority.

Why is Flutter preferred over other mobile app developing tools?

Why is Flutter Preferred Over Other Mobile App Development Tools?

Introduction

In modern-day virtual world, mobile app development has grow to be an crucial a part of enterprise increase. With the increasing demand for immediate, efficient, and cost-powerful answers, developers and agencies are turning to frameworks that streamline the app improvement system. Among these, Flutter stands proud as a desired choice due to its performance, versatility, and effective capabilities.

What is Flutter?

Flutter is an open-supply UI toolkit advanced by Google to create natively compiled packages for cell, net, and laptop from a single codebase. Unlike different frameworks, Flutter offers a unique technique by way of utilising its very own rendering engine and Dart programming language, making sure a smooth user revel in throughout systems.

Cross-Platform Efficiency

One of Flutter’s maximum huge benefits is its go-platform capability. Developers can write a unmarried codebase and installation it on iOS, Android, internet, and laptop applications, reducing time and effort significantly. This makes Flutter a price-effective solution, specially useful for startups and corporations looking to release an app quick.

Performance & Speed

Flutter's performance is better compared to most frameworks, owing to the fact that it utilizes the Dart language. Unlike interpreted code, Dart executes as native code, which increases the speed and provides smooth animation. The app's responsiveness is also improved with the Skia Graphics Engine, making interactions become seamless.

Beautiful UI/UX Capabilities

Flutter is acclaimed for its impressive UI capabilities and enabling developers to develop visually eye-catching applications. Through inbuilt widgets based on Material Design as well as Cupertino guidelines, the developer can create visually pleasing apps without depending upon third-party packages.

Cost-Effective Development

Having one codebase run on multiple platforms, Flutter dramatically lowers development and maintenance costs. This is especially useful for companies seeking an affordable yet solid solution.

Strong Support from Google

As Flutter is maintained and developed by Google, it has regular updates, robust community support, and ongoing improvements, which guarantee a future-proof, long-term solution for businesses and developers.

Expanding Community & Ecosystem

Flutter boasts an expanding developer community with plenty of resources, forums, and documentation to refer to. This guarantees that developers can easily find solutions and remain informed of the latest developments in the framework.

Web and Desktop App Support

In contrast to most other frameworks, Flutter goes beyond mobile app development to support web and desktop applications. This makes it a perfect solution for companies that want a consistent user experience on multiple platforms.

Comparison with Other Frameworks

Flutter vs React Native

Flutter offers superior performance through native compilation, whereas React Native uses JavaScript bridges.

React Native has a bigger community, but Flutter gives a richer UI experience.

Flutter vs Xamarin

Flutter is open-source and free, while Xamarin needs paid licenses for enterprise features.

Flutter's Hot Reload is quicker than Xamarin's debugging tools.

Flutter vs Native Development

Native development gives the best performance but with dual codebases for Android and iOS.

Flutter is based on near-native performance and one codebase.

Why do Businesses like Flutter?

Flutter brings faster time-to-market, scalability, and future-proof technology with it, ranking high among the favorite choices for businesses looking to find innovative solutions for apps.

The UAE Market Role of Flutter

The need for Flutter development in Abu Dhabi and Dubai is increasing at a fast pace. Various mobile app development companies in uae are adopting Flutter because of its cost-saving and efficient nature.

How to Select the Proper Development Partner?

Selecting a mobile app development company in Abu Dhabi or Dubai that has experience with Flutter is key to a successful project. Those companies that have an established track record of developing using Flutter can provide a smooth and efficient development process.

Conclusion

Flutter has transformed mobile app development with its powerful, flexible, and affordable solution for businesses. With its cross-platform support, hot reload, and rich UI/UX design capabilities, Flutter is the go-to option for today's mobile app development companies in UAE. If you are searching for the top mobile app development company in Dubai, choosing one with experience in Flutter will guarantee a high-quality, scalable, and future-proof application.

The park’s memorial elements also serve as a valuable educational resource, providing insights into Cupertino’s past and the people who shaped it.

It’s a place where residents come together to celebrate holidays, attend community events, and simply enjoy each other’s company. The park’s open spaces and picnic areas provide the perfect setting for family gatherings, birthday parties, and other celebrations.

The park also plays an important role in fostering a sense of community pride and identity. It’s a place where residents can connect with their neighbors, learn about their city’s history, and contribute to the ongoing life of the community. The park’s role as a gathering space is essential to the social fabric of Cupertino, strengthening bonds between residents and creating a sense of belonging.

Preserving the Legacy for Future Generations:

As Cupertino continues to grow and evolve, it’s essential that we preserve the legacy of Cupertino Memorial Park for future generations. The park is a valuable asset to the community, providing a connection to the past, a haven for recreation and relaxation, and a space for reflection and remembrance.

Maintaining the park’s natural beauty and historical integrity requires ongoing effort and investment.

Mobile App Development with Flutter: Pros and Cons

In the dynamic world of mobile app development, choosing the right framework is crucial for creating efficient, scalable, and user-friendly applications. Flutter, an open-source UI software development toolkit created by Google, has gained immense popularity for its ability to build natively compiled applications for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase. In this blog, we'll explore the pros and cons of using Flutter for mobile app development to help you decide if it's the right choice for your project.

What is Flutter?

Flutter is a cross-platform development framework that allows developers to create apps for Android, iOS, web, and desktop using a single codebase. It uses the Dart programming language and provides a rich set of pre-designed widgets, tools, and libraries to streamline the development process.

Pros of Using Flutter for Mobile App Development

1. Single Codebase for Multiple Platforms

One of Flutter's most significant advantages is its ability to develop apps for Android and iOS simultaneously using a single codebase. This approach reduces development time, effort, and costs, making it an attractive option for businesses looking to reach a broader audience quickly.

2. Fast Development with Hot Reload

Flutter's "hot reload" feature allows developers to see changes in real-time without restarting the entire application. This speeds up the development process, enhances productivity, and makes it easier to experiment with new features, fix bugs, and refine UI designs.

3. Rich Set of Customizable Widgets

Flutter provides a wide range of pre-designed widgets that follow Material Design and Cupertino standards. These widgets are highly customizable, enabling developers to create visually appealing and consistent user interfaces across platforms.

4. High Performance

Flutter apps are compiled directly to native ARM code, ensuring high performance and smooth animations. The framework uses the Skia graphics engine, which allows for 60fps performance and rich, complex UIs without compromising speed.

5. Strong Community Support and Growing Ecosystem

Since its launch, Flutter has cultivated a vibrant community of developers and contributors. There is extensive documentation, a plethora of third-party packages, and active forums that make problem-solving easier and more efficient.

6. Cost-Effective Development

With a single codebase for multiple platforms, businesses can significantly reduce development and maintenance costs. Additionally, the faster development cycle enabled by hot reload and reusable components further lowers expenses.

7. Integration with Firebase

Flutter integrates seamlessly with Firebase, Google's backend-as-a-service (BaaS) platform. This integration simplifies the implementation of features like authentication, cloud storage, real-time databases, and analytics.

Cons of Using Flutter for Mobile App Development

1. Large App Size

One of the primary drawbacks of Flutter is the relatively large size of its applications. The framework includes its own rendering engine and libraries, which can result in larger app binaries compared to native apps. This can be a concern for users with limited device storage or slow internet connections.

2. Limited Native Features and Third-Party Libraries

While Flutter covers a wide range of functionalities, it may not have access to all native features or third-party libraries available for native development. In such cases, developers might need to write custom platform-specific code, increasing complexity and development time.

3. Performance Overhead for Complex Applications

Although Flutter performs well for most use cases, extremely complex applications that require heavy background processing or advanced graphics might experience performance overhead compared to fully native apps.

4. Dart Language Learning Curve

Flutter uses Dart, a language not as widely adopted as JavaScript, Swift, or Kotlin. Developers unfamiliar with Dart may face a learning curve when transitioning to Flutter, although Dart is relatively easy to learn for those with programming experience.

5. iOS-Specific Limitations

Flutter's performance and integration are often more seamless on Android due to Google's involvement. Some iOS-specific features and optimizations may require additional effort to implement, and updates might lag slightly behind their Android counterparts.

6. Dependency on Framework Updates

Since Flutter is a rapidly evolving framework, frequent updates can sometimes introduce breaking changes. Developers need to stay updated with the latest versions and be prepared to modify their codebase accordingly.

When to Choose Flutter for Your Mobile App Development

Flutter is an excellent choice if:

You need to develop apps for multiple platforms quickly and cost-effectively.

Your app requires a rich, custom UI with smooth animations.

You want fast development cycles with real-time updates.

You're building an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) to test in the market.

When Flutter Might Not Be the Best Fit

Consider alternative approaches if:

Your app requires highly complex native features or hardware-specific integrations.

You’re developing a game or an app with intensive 3D graphics (native development or game engines like Unity may be more suitable).

You need the smallest possible app size due to storage constraints.

Conclusion

Flutter is a powerful and versatile framework that offers numerous benefits for mobile app development, including cross-platform compatibility, fast development cycles, and excellent performance. However, it also comes with certain limitations, such as larger app sizes and occasional native feature gaps.

Understanding the pros and cons of Flutter will help you make an informed decision based on your project requirements, budget, and development timeline. Whether you're building an MVP, a business application, or a feature-rich consumer app, Flutter is a compelling option worth considering in the evolving landscape of mobile app development.
