I think it’s not helpful to repeat claims that the administration is working on eliminating “DEIA” as though it’s some kind of corporate strategy; just say explicitly that they’re trying to eliminate diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, and explain how.

Good morning friends! Sending you all a big hug on this Friday morning. Today I will be trying to remember that even small acts of kindness and love matter—and to do a few.

This is SO important. We have to make arguments clear and concise for the public. Save the caveats and asterisks for the colloquium. And yes, your colleagues might call you unserious and be mean to you about it; remember no one is listening to them.

The notion that Trump's "I'm king" tweet is "just trolling" or "a joke" presents an opportunity to recreate my just-joking thread (porting it over from the Bad Place): 1. I wrote my PhD dissertation on the social function of humor (in literature & film) and here's the thing about "just joking."

If you take the proportion of 83 children dying in American Samoa as a result of RFK Jr. advising them to stop administering the MMR vaccine and apply it to the US, over 600,000 people would die.

It is horrifying watching the government erase a demographic in real time and most people just not really caring.

Black scholars argued this incessantly after the war. Britain killed 10’s of millions of Indians, Belgium enslaved and genocided the Congo, France slaughtered its Algerian subjects. Nazi Germany was the logical extension of US and European colonialism, not an aberration.

I could not agree more. And if university administrators understood this applies to them as well, academic institutions would be in a much better position to push back.
