Most scleractinian corals form obligate symbioses with photosynthetic dinoflagellates (family Symbiodiniaceae), which provide differential tolerances to their host. Previously, research has focused on the influence of symbiont composition and the dynamic processes of symbiont repopulation during single episodes of hyperthermal events, followed by years of less-stressful conditions. In contrast, this study characterized for the first time, the role of Symbiodiniaceae species changes in response to annually recurring hyperthermal events, a scenario soon expected to become the norm. Consecutive hyperthermal events during summer 2014 and 2015 along the Florida Reef Tract offered a unique opportunity to study bleaching susceptibility and recovery under recurrent annual hyperthermal scenarios. We utilized Illumina amplicon sequencing of the chloroplast 23S DNA region to assess with fine resolution the Symbiodiniaceae diversity associated with pillar coral, Dendrogyra cylindrus. Our findings show diverse assemblages of Symbiodiniaceae species and that some cryptic members are not transient associates but persistent and ecologically relevant, especially during recurrent annual warming events. This was evidenced by changes in relative abundance from the typically dominant host-specialist endosymbiont, Breviolum dendrogyrum, to B. meandrinium a host-generalist species common to corals in the family Meandrinidae but occurs at background densities in most coral colonies of D. cylindrus. The rise in abundance of B. meandrinium associated strongly with bleaching resistance in the coral host during two consecutive hyperthermal events. In some cases, host-compatible background symbionts can rapidly increase in abundance during episodes of stress and may impart physiological resilience to rapid environmental change and thus, represents a potentially important ecological process by which symbiotic corals acclimatize to changing ocean conditions.

This article advances a deeply political and material understanding of feeling in the context of racial capitalism. Informed by Ahmed's work on the "politics of good feeling" (2008, 1) and Gilmore's concept of "infrastructure of feeling" (2022, 490), we interrogate how feeling is regulated in everyday literacy contexts through two examples: 1) the history of the phrase "joy of reading" and its use in a text for teachers and 2) a vignette in which youth were expected to use digital media to share their grief. Both examples show how liberal sentimentality works to control unruly or unhappy feelings that disrupt the democratizing fiction of white progressivism. With a deeper understanding of the infrastructure of feeling as an analytic intervention drawing on liberatory histories and struggles, educators can work to transform these spaces into arenas of emotional negotiation and emancipation, thereby countering the oppressive reach of racial capitalism.

The law enforcement hunt for suspected serial bomber Eric Rudolph has generated many rumors and false assumptions about the relationship between western North Carolina locals and outside law enforcement and the media. Contrary to conventional media wisdom, outside law enforcement agencies have developed relatively decent relations with locals in the area where Rudolph was last seen. Local observers disagree on why Rudolph was initially able to escape in 1998. They do agree that in the year 2000 Rudolph was probably still alive but probably not being helped by anyone in the area. Rudolph's influences and motives are difficult to comprehend, and it is generally agreed that his bombs targeted law enforcement rather than the politics of abortion rights advocates and homosexuality.
