I've said it before and I'll say it again and I will never stop saying it: this is not justice. This is not accountability. This is cruelty.

Bad Bunny’s performance began in the plantation, featured broken electric poles, and ended by centering a hemispheric understanding of “América”—among many other things—and some Anglo journalists are like “his performance wasn’t political.”

This is why we need to be telling our stories.

How the men in the Epstein files defeated #MeToo

The emails show the “anti-woke” crusaders are afraid of accountability.

The Epstein-Chomsky conversation sure makes clear that we need a meaningful & working understanding of patriarchy.

ICE has offices in 5 Canadian cities and has been part of major police operations. Given its role in escalating fascist authoritarianism this should be a clear NO. Abolish ICE and its transnational reach. ici.radio-canada.ca/rci/en/news/...

Where did these Epstein folks find the time to do anything given the volume of their emailing? It’s almost parodic how much they liked to chat about crimes in their dumb emails.

Are female economists treated differently than males in academic seminars?

These authors wanted to know whether gender shapes how scholars are treated when presenting research.

So they built a massive dataset of 2,000+ economics seminars, job talks, and conference presentations from 2019–2023...

Academia is so incredibly fucked up and also a lot of the intellectual work that goes on in the academy is incredibly important

Part of what makes life in the academy tough is holding and navigating both of these truths at the same time

The vast majority of ICE’s violence is never reported on. The only reason more people haven’t died is luck. They’re using lethal force on a regular basis.

Good article with an overly optimistic headline. It is great to see those lines revived, but there are wide swaths of this country that are very far from a revival. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

There is a lot to be said about Catherine O’Hara, and one of them
Is that her Moira Rose gave us a version of motherhood beyond the usual pop culture choice of selfless saint or broken failure, of an eccentric, self-absorbed & deeply annoying woman who remains a good mother: youtu.be/iyMrBdyrusY
