I've had to crowdfund to get to Cali to teach at Irvine- I've had to work a whole month without pay. I have motel housing until May 1st, which is when I get paid- so asking one more time for support for gas and food-- but my students are worth it 💜 Venmo Nikki-Wallschlaeger

I dunno, man, the "you guys are being too mean to the plagiarism machines that stole all your work and were created to try to replace you so rich people don't pay you a tiny fraction of their wealth for it" posters popping up are pretty funny

The term "Luddite" as a pejorative synonym for "technophobe" was a technocrat PR coup; that's not what Luddites were about. They were a labour movement fighting to give workers control over technologies which were advancing w/o oversight and rapidly automating them out of their jobs. Sound familiar?

For those of you who are celebrating Independent Bookstore Day today (and those of you who truly despise the transphobic scat-muncher that is Joanne K. Rowling), here's an article I wrote for @pajiba.com last year about sci-fi and fantasy books by Black authors that deserve your attention.

Reminding myself that for academics/researchers this next while has to about doing what work we can, as we can, but also getting right with laying the groundwork and securing the research for things to be done on the other side of all this, & then doing other work to make sure there is an "after."

I have got to figure out my new strategy for staying on top of email. Put on a beloved TV show or movie for background noise and settle in? Get one of those clown punching bags and promise myself one good hit for every email answered within 2-3 days?

ICYMI: Georgetown Law students made a 853-row spreadsheet of Trump-caving firms. It drew national headlines. Recruiters noticed some talent looked elsewhere. Firms lobbied to change their designation. An organizer tells @www.AllRiseNews.com the background www.allrisenews.com/p/skadden-st...

FYI: I am hearing that it would be a very good idea to log into research.gov and download copies of things like award letters if you have active NSF grants. I also recommend grabbing PDFs/screenshots of public abstracts for NSF awards in case that database goes away.

Reading about the Enlightenment is so violent. The things they did to discover why Black people have black skin...There are days when I can only read a portion of a chapter because I can feel that violence in my body.

I need to raise $40,000 to provide stipends for 20 young people ages 16-24 over the summer so they can participate in an independent study program. If anyone would either want to sponsor a young person ($2000 each) or wants to donate funds in another amount, let me know. Thanks.
