Pro tip for people on the job market: Search the library catalogs of the places you’re applying for jobs. Very telling about what an institution values, and more to the point, which resources you will want for once you get there. #ProfLife

I want to be a better person in a better place .. but I’m not. Someone asked me straight up “How would I know if we had done what we need to do” I said if @sassycrass.bsky.social was okay She’s dead now
The GOP is okay with trying to disappear important information and isn’t scared . Because they watched everyone do this and then promptly fulfill none of it . We talk about abusive systems etc etc but the enabling of narcissism never gets fully done And we’ll Here we are

They count on you being scared to break the rules! More than anything else, they are counting on your decency and respect of procedure to paralyze you from doing the right thing lest you get called to the principal's office. You have to learn to say fuck it and DO THE RIGHT THING
Washington is full of rule-following valedictorians who were inspired by the West Wing and did Model UN and moot court and studied their heroes and who believe in using government to help people. That's nice, but you need to learn how to swing on the illiterate bullies who steal lunch money.
Reading WaPo’s story about #Flight5342, and for whatever reason, I’m just coming to grips with what it means for it to have occurred over the river
Is what’s going on too simple to see? By force, a white male power structure is in the process of seizing back control, and as ever they can’t hold onto power without subjugation and scapegoating and coercion and violence. That doesn’t really seem like chaos, it’s America like clockwork.

“this is the sort of toxic behavior I thought we left behind on Twitter…” — me being escorted out of Smoothie King
I have this injury. I’ve had it since 2012. It’ll take surgery to fix it, so I just deal with it. It’s aggravated by low seats, hard chairs, etc. I sit all day for work. My office chair is too low. The pain is driving me mad.
I appreciate much of the analysis I’ve seen over the last couple days. I don’t think we can talk about what is sick in politics or media (a lot!) w/o looking directly at billionaires, refusing to shut up about billionaires, and coming for billionaires through policies that chisel away at their power
American billionaires have long placed their thumbs on the scale of democracy—but never like this.
