I really have GOT to stop thinking they can’t go lower. They always can and always will.

This look is what immediately came to mind for me.

If you think your department chair might not know about the Caucus, please send them my way. We’d love to have them.

MPSA has reached out to all members who have identified as department chairs, but we know everyone is inundated with email & some chairs aren’t MPSA members. So, if you are a department chair & would like to join the Chairs Caucus (no cost!) please let me know!

Here’s the thing: we never talked about bodily autonomy, union, or strike rights. I did say that if a right was particularly important to them it needed to be in their state’s constitution to make it harder for subsequent governments to erode those rights. They did the rest! The kids are alright.

Their democracies are stellar, too! We spend a lot of time on defining rights for our ideal democracies & many of them have guaranteed a right to healthcare & bodily autonomy (& not just the women!). More than half of them have also written union & strike rights into their constitutions.

Ooh! Nice. I saw a cocktail that used honey bourbon. I feel like a honey liqueur might be better for baklava.

Does anyone have a baklava-flavored cocktail recipe?

Also, anything on nonviolent resistance by the late Gene Sharp, from whom we drew heavily. Political jiujitsu FTW!

I’ve done so, as well! I love the go-ahead-and-block energy on blue sky!

Or you’re being deliberately obtuse! Enjoy your day.

That makes sense. We do it annually & in great detail, with no meaningful input about how it’s used.

Look up Duverger’s Law. It explains exactly what she (an expert) is trying to tell you. It’s not a conspiracy: 3rd parties rarely succeed in FPP elections, so you’re stuck w/2 parties. You work w/the party more aligned w/you to affect change. It’s a bit more complicated than that, but start there.

This is what makes me crazy. Why make us bother to count the beans if it does not matter? At two universities in a row, I’ve been forced to count the beans for no real reason. At least when I counted the beans in my corporate career, it mattered to some degree.

Our classes start Tuesday, so I’ve saved lots of class prep to do then.
