So much has happened recently that causes me great concern. I'll speak to what I know best, which is trade politics. I'm genuinely saddened and deeply worried about what the most recent tariffs (& potentially upcoming ones) will do to our country and the world! 😟

If universities want to retain female faculty they need to deal with the people who create hostile workplaces. That means actually dealing with sexual harassers, assholes, bullies, and every else who scores high on the dark triad. If not, you will lose your best people over and over again.

I've seen so many great starter packs, but I've yet to encounter one on int'l organizations and cooperation. So, I made one. It is no doubt incomplete, but I hope you find it helpful nonetheless. Feel free to circulate and, if you have suggestions on who to add, send them my way! go.bsky.app/RbHqH38
