Alex@alexanotherone.bsky.social · yesterdayThat seems to be the argument currently being made about why Kaptur shouldn't retire Okay she's the only person who can win this one seat in Ohio, I accept that, there's 435 seats in the House, if that one seat goes to a Republican and the entire Republic falls did you ever have a Republic?

I do teach film criticism from time to time and every class has a few "tropers" who fail to grasp the entire concept of contemplating and evaluating art

if you must work to live you are, definitionally, "working class" and someone making 40k in 2026 is struggling, that is not a living wage it is gross and conservative to be ignorant about this, especially so proudly
Alex Says Stuff@alexsaysstuff.bsky.social · last wk.I didn't think definitions of "working class" could get worse. I was wrong.
Out of touch as I am, I’ve only just become aware that the classic 1976 BBC drama serial I, Claudius is being made available on various platforms. Simply and seriously: if you’ve never seen it before, go for it. Don’t miss a minute. Start with episode one and go right through. It’s the best TV ever.
This is what I mean by "we suck at promoting what government does". The only people who know the progress that CAHSR construction has made are nerds that follow a few YouTube channels that do drone footage of the construction. How hard would it be for CA to do this and send occasional press kits?

Food deserts are very real as I grew up in South Central LA/Watts where there never enough grocery stores available to serve the people. Now that has changed quite a bit but there still certain areas where food availability is a problem.I give props to New Yorks Mayor and his staff for giving people

Shane Duarte@shaneduarte.bsky.social · last wk.Are there undergrads who can do the job? Sure. But I'm guessing you'd agree that even you would do a better job later, after more experience? You know who taught me writing? Regular faculty, tenured. In a writing intensive course for my major. They won't even use adjuncts; they use undergrads.
Our CD4 Homelessness Team — the first of its kind in the city — builds trust in the field, connects one-on-one with folks in encampments, tracks results with service providers, and helps people navigate the path from the street to permanent housing.
not to Discourse but this is thee most insulting thing I see from white academics. You see a stereotype therefore that must be what the work of art contains. It comes off like the writer just shrugs and assumes racism is always safely present.
