I always say, nobody goes to my brothers law office to yell at him that his memos aren’t a good read for the general public. It’s true we profs are in the business of education but at some point not letting us write FOR EACH OTHER is not admitting our work is work

I’m sorry but this is one of my biggest pet peeves. If you want academica to exist, academics CANNOT be held responsible for making sure every publication and talk is comprehensible to someone with a middle school education in their field. That is an impossible ask and you are blaming the victim

I am also no German expert but I do have various acquaintances who escaped autocracies and one thing I've noticed is that the worse victims tend to internalize a deep cynicism that makes liberalism seem impossible, childish, and worthless.

This is imo why Tumblr and Reddit (which have their own issues) have been resistant to the worst of the Twitter era social media rot. Tumblr is follow/subscribe but is ruled by self-organizing fandoms, and Reddit has subreddits

Can I just say how much I fucking hate that all European parties are these inscrutable acronyms that I have to google and then still go to the wikipedia page to see what they stand for because it's always some perverted permutation of the same five words
