President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v
Trump Moves to Cut Off Student Loans for Tons of Degrees
Under a new rule, if your degree doesn’t make enough money, you won’t be able to get a student loan.

RIP Vaneigem. My first encounter with The Revolution of Everyday Life changed me forever, I am forever grateful.
Not to brag but I read a lot of AI-generated writing for my job 💅💅💅
What also sucks about this is the suspicion, with almost any email, that it’s a scam. Since my book came out I get these scam emails every week, but I’m also frequently contacted by real people—often young people—who are the very reason I wrote the book, who I am truly happy to engage with.
Sarah J. Jackson@sjjphd.bsky.social · 2w agoSince A Second Sight came out I've received about 2-3 of these scam emails a week. They are not only profoundly annoying but obviously prey on author's passions and attachment to their work. In some cases they impersonate real people at legit organizations.

Covering everything from ‘girl power,’ Star Trek and hip-hop, to queer cinema, anarchist counterculture and the erotic thriller, The Return of the ’90s excavates key moments in ’90s culture and uncovers its multiple reckonings in the present.
What’s the best critical writing on A24?
Seen in the wild today in Portland, ME! @lalouverouge.bsky.social & @seanobrien.bsky.social’s The Return of the 90s, in which brilliant contributors—incl many of YOU—examine the contemporary fascination w/ a decade in which I personally, weirdly, never stopped living emotionally & psychologically
What’s that line again? “I refuse to join any club that would have a rapist as a member”?
My book Shadow of My Shadow is about harassment ecologies, institutional gaslighting. If you like criticism/theory & want writing that can hold a range of feelings provoked by the whole Platner thing, this might be a book for you. It's not a hot take. www.dukeupress.edu/shadow-of-my...

The Crash
By Sloane McNulty We wreck things at night and hold hands and skip all the way home. We are ever growing our informal support structures and we’ll always have each other’s backs. In our orgies, rio…

The late communist poet (and woman smoker) Leijia Hanrahan’s posthumous works have been brought together in this beautiful edited collection by @illwill.bsky.social I was very honored to write the introduction. You can order it now here: store.illwilleditions.com/products/lik...
the most important thing about a woman sharing the worst thing that ever happened to her with the world is that you use it to dunk on all the other women who criticized you
the appearance of solidarity among these lib/left men thru an admiration for this kind of masculinity too is on my mind
Julia Carrie Wong@joolia.bsky.social · last mo.continue to think that planter’s support with the lib/left male pundit class was not *in spite of* his various transgressions, but because of them, a frankly pathetic attempt to reassert dem masculinity through a man whose violent career they believed represented working class authenticity
for example, I did not have the spidey sense that there would be more Platner allegations 48 hours after posting this, but I didn't need to in order to anticipate it
Lex McMenamin (they/them)@lexmcmenamin.com · last mo.violence against women (and any gender nonconformity) is so baked into American culture that the whole political sphere is able to pretend that, for all intents and purposes, it doesn’t exist — from Epstein, to the WH, Supreme Court and probably a majority of Congress, to community organizing
That Caroline Calloway essay is toxic waste.
“What happens when U.S. capitalism simply needs fewer humans?” @sarahljaffe.bsky.social on automated taxis, AI, ICE raids, data centers and the rebellions taking shape against a system that treats workers, migrants and whole communities as disposable.
Capitalism Without Humans
As new technologies (not immigrants) replace human labor, "machine breaking" as a tactic of rebellion is taking on a renewed vitality.

I’ve been looking for long-term stable employment in academia for longer than Louis CK was cancelled
My phone just autocorrected “Spinozist” into “apologist.”
as always one must understand that when they say "women's safety" or "children's safety," they mean "protecting cis men's property from contamination or property damage." they mean "asset safety."

When I hear the word “embodiment,” before any academic discourse I’ve been exposed to in the last two decades, I think of a hippie who once tried to hump me at a hot springs.
Very happy to contribute to Madeline Lane-McKinley’s and Sean O’Brien’s The Return of the ‘90s! I wrote about Ice Cube, the “super-predator” discourse criminalizing Black & Brown youth, and its legacy in fueling the Movement for Black Lives and some of the rap music that came out in the 2010s.
