When I offer workshops on crafting values-driven and strategic careers, I help academics create a “H€>l No/Sacred Yes Practice” based on questions like: “What energizes me? What enervates/depletes me?” Knowing that up front allows you to say NO to whole categories, and redirect people too.

A) people recoil in horror when I tell them the amount of reviewing I do in a year B) sometimes I do service because, if I didn't, a person with less power would be harmed (e.g., tenure) C) women are treated very differently when we say no to these types of requests

It’s gotten lost in the deluge of news over the past few months, but abortion has gotten dramatically less accessible and more expensive. Women are losing freedom over their own bodies, lives, and futures. The freedom and dignity this country promises should be women’s freedom and dignity, too.

In 1852, Frederick Douglass asked: “What, to the American slave, is your Fourth of July?” Inspired by Douglass’ famous question, 20 people ensnared in the sprawling US criminal legal system answered this variation: “What, to the currently or formerly incarcerated American, is your Fourth of July?”

What, to the American Incarcerated Person, Is Your Fourth of July?

In the spirit of Frederick Douglass’ historic speech, 20 currently and formerly incarcerated Americans explain what Independence Day means to them.

Always curious to see who gets to be an anonymous source!

While Mr. Mamdani was not a target of the hack, the information about him was included in a database of millions of student applications to Columbia going back decades. The data was shared with The Times by an intermediary who goes by the name Crémieux on Substack and X and who is an academic and an opponent of affirmative action. The Times agreed to withhold his real name.

“In the fields, I would say 70% of the workers are gone...If 70% of your workforce doesn’t show up, 70% of your crop doesn’t get picked...Most Americans don’t want to do this work. Most farmers here are barely breaking even. I fear this has created a tipping point where many will go bust.”
