taking a course overload this semester is definitely eating into my time greatly but on the other hand if I were not teaching this semester I think I simply would have lost it at this point

The scholarly publishing system is broken for a lot of reasons but the precaritization of academic labor is a big one. Paying some of the many, many adjuncts and NTT professors who are also keeping up on literature to do reviews isn't the whole solution but I think it's a big part of it.

Look I know it's a cliché, but call your fucking reps. They don't get scared unless they hear from an overwhelming number of us all the time. Call them every damn day. Tell them to fight the hell back and protect us from Musk and Trump. It matters and it makes a difference, right now. reps.fyi

No, the mail is not “the least of our worries.” It’s a fucking important worry. It is the only postal service that delivers to every address. They are only provider of complete mail services for overseas military bases and provide free overseas PO boxes. They help prepare passport apps. Ship meds…

I think it’s the racism, homophobia, and transphobia that men are socialized to accept as perfectly reasonable that people have a problem with—not jokes and beer and friendship.

If you've been hearing about what happened to Sam Nordquist, and how the New York Times tried to erase him, take a moment to space some thought for his family, and lend them a hand in this awful time.

Not surprised that it's community colleges that are fighting back. Community colleges serve the greatest number of people facing systemic barriers. A large percentage of community college students are the first in their family to attend college.

NEW: Guest post from almost-Rabbi Ben Luks-Morgan: "We who transition into new names, new identities we have always been here in Jewish being and text. Transgender people have always been here. Queer people. Those who don’t quite fit the normative boundaries of Self-- have always been here."

Allowing the administration to define broad swaths of history, programming and civil rights compliance as “DEI” and then regurgitating that language instead of clearly articulating what specifically is being targeted is spreading disinformation and propaganda.

When you share this image, you are blindly repeating one of the most unapologetic, vile pieces of transphobia ever uttered on television. Spitting on Brandon Teena's grave for Internet points. I'm posting this because I still see it randomly posted without any context.

This is a good time to remind everyone that this administration hasn't done anything for anyone. It has literally only taken away things we've already paid for and fired and sued people. Oh and the quid pro quo with Adams. That's the extent of what they have done. Kinda nuts.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth! What began as a simple reading list of forthcoming Black transfemme novels blossomed into a full critique of White supremacist publishing, Black literary erasure, and the supplementarity of the Black transfemme body as text 🖤

Wow, a 3,400 year-old ancient Egyptian paint box containing its original pigments! Looks similar to a modern-day set! An inscription tells us it belonged to Amenemope, Vizier during the reign of king Amenhotep II. 📷 The Cleveland Museum of Art www.clevelandart.org/art/1914.680 #Archaeology

Targeting trans people, Black people, immigrants etc is not a “distraction” from fascism, it IS fascism. It lives in complementary relationship to destroying democracy, because democracy is inherently about participation of minorities.

Eric Adams is captive to a federal administration that is waging war on the working class of our city. He needs to be removed from office now.

I’ve seen too many higher ed folks wave away the threat to our universities. We need to understand what is coming and get organized right now to fight back. Join your union, form a union, join your AAUP chapter, talk to your colleagues. Do it now @ucaft.bsky.social

The Partition of India displaced 20 million people, killed almost 2 million & created a refugee crisis whose effects are still in play over 70 years later, if you actually think it's a model for anything but massive catastrophe, you should not only not be employed here you should be in a padded cell
