I remain fascinated by the expanded child tax credit case study & the implications for leftist policymaking. People received REAL financial benefit from it. It drastically cut child poverty rates and it was rescinded without a real fight. I think about this at least once a week.

What a perfect pleasure to discuss Happy Nostalgia on Nostalgia Trap! Besides our conversation on “Making Connections with the Music of the ‘90s,” David Parsons’ podcast has great topics and interviews with authors from academic presses. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e... #CUNY

I think a pretty strong case could be made that CUNY is in fact the preeminent and most important American university system.

I very much enjoyed reading this sonic autoethnography by @dth20k.bsky.social, not least because “Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic” was the first album I purchased with my own money (on cassette!) so it has a special place for me A Couple Centuries of Sundays cuny.manifoldapp.org/read/a-coupl...

In my chapter, I trace my experiences and education through the changes in technology and culture since the 1990s. I hope that it is a reminder that there is never a bad time to listen to The Sundays or (re)discover The Softies and Jenny Mae! cuny.manifoldapp.org/read/a-coupl...

The Graduate Center, where I sit, is in better physical shape than most of CUNY, although a far cry from Princeton. (I don't care) But even elite campuses like Hunter, which are fabulous engines of social mobility, are shockingly under-maintained

If you can help out, or at least share the link I'd be very grateful. A large number of college students experience food insecurity #QCC #CUNY #FoodInsecurity
