Grading my undergrad students' survey drafts, it is SO heartening to see that almost all of them, unprompted, include "non-binary" as an option for gender. This was not even an option when I first learned about survey research 20 years ago & it's still something that many researchers don't include.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

I urge faculty members to join the American Association of University Professors (AAUP). We have few organizations that represent us and offer us collective power. #Yale has a new chapter. You can start one if your campus doesn't have one yet. And you can join now too. www.aaup.org/membership/d...

@wxbrad.bsky.social there seems to be a new wildfire in Brunswick county not far from Wilmington (we can see the smoke from Kure Beach). Do you know more about this! I can’t find anything online.
