Imagine calling yourself the master race and have to resort to erasing the achievements of minorities to make yourself feel better.

It is March 2, 2025. My plan was to leave the world on March 2, 2024. What a difference in a year. I still have bad days. But reasons to stay are easier to find each day. Thankful for family, for friends, for library kids who ARE going to save the world. Once a library kid, always a library kid 💚

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

It seems there was a dinner at the WH where a military choir serenaded the orange turd and his guest with a rendition of One Day More from Les Miserables, and the ignorant fools loved it. This is what happens when you don’t read. People mock you to your face. 😹

I don't know how to tell you this, but if we're relying on me to find my car keys at the bottom of my purse before the serial killer catches up with us - we're dead.

If you are married to someone who has ADHD and you don't, here's a phrase that might help you with your spouse: "Map it out for me." This is what I say to my wife when she goes from one thing to a seeming non sequitur. In her mind, there is a relationship.

Papers are due next week. One of their sources is a hand written journal. Most didn't have their first draft today. Why? They can't read cursive, so they decided not to do it. I write on the whiteboard in cursive. I guess this explains why they don't take notes.

Does anyone else's coworker keep trying to take credit for your work? Eartha Kitt is always pretending my work is her own under the "If I touch it, it's mine" doctrine of feline productivity.

GA Tech complying in advance. Apparently "justice" is a bad word. "Equality," too. #UGA & the entire #Georgia university system. @academic-chatter.bsky.social #GATECH #academicsky @aaup.bsky.social #GAPol #Edusky #HigherEd

Hind Rajab was murdered by an IDF tank one year ago today along with several members of her family. While she was dying, the paramedics who came to rescue her were murdered in their ambulance by an IDF tank as well.

Once again, one thing I was very wrong about was that I assumed there was some baseline level of professional pride that would prevent the editors & journalists at the Paper of Record from so thoroughly debasing themselves in the face of the far right authoritarianism. I apologize for my naïveté.

Bestie's TikTok is back. I closed mine (not uninstalled) because it wouldn't come play. The icon and app are now gone. I guess I have to work on lesson plans and grade.

As my cat parkours off my stomach for the fifth time tonight, you'd think she doesn't care that I have to get up in four hours.

I probably shouldn't be surprised, but it's notable that even in preparation for this massacre the police wanted to provide a veil of legality over the violence that they were about to unleash.

Here's a headline that conveys accurate info to the reader. The lede also gets to the point: "As Los Angeles firefighters battle ongoing blazes, prominent rightwing figures are spreading bigoted criticism of the response & lies about who is to blame..." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Prof Franke not pulling her punches: "In a time when assaults on higher ed are the most acute since the McCarthyite assaults of the 1950s, the University's leadership & trustees have abandoned any duty to protect the university's most precious resources: its faculty, students, & academic mission."

When someone asks what they need to know before starting a PhD program, I always tell them that in addition to cultivating a support network, they'll need a good therapist and a weighted blanket. I'm not even kidding. #academicsky #edusky
