Not a happy Cornell alum tonight 🫩. Also, it’s not like Sibley Hall is the locus of power making these decisions. Go take a picture of Day Hall.

🚨Urgent: Ohio lawmakers are trying to pass a bill,
Senate Bill 293, that would throw out 1000s of valid mail-in ballots. The hearing is Wednesday so act now!
📲No one should lose their vote because of post office delays- urge Ohio Senators to vote NO on SB 293

Bad news.😔 But we always come back. I think about magazines like Sassy and Jane making such a difference to young women developing an engaged, public consciousness.❤️ Teen Vogue was doing good work. You can’t stop and you won’t stop. Stand up, keep writing! You don’t know your numbers or your allies.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Sending you support and appreciation. And I am so sorry.

This year, Ohioans are voting on local leadership positions like mayor and school board members that make decisions that impact our daily lives.
Get your personalized ballot by going to www.VOTE411.org where you can see candidate responses to our questions, too.

Getting the whole Ohio State CRP team together for photos is a THING. Getting ready! And then getting it done *sort of*

And the older dog (who has seen this movie before) is not bringing better energy to the party.

I went to a conference to talk to colleagues, mentor early career faculty, present research, and check in with the state of the discipline…and this is the reaction back home.😔

Ummmm. Liquor Lyles like 6 hours of (non sequential Happy Hours)…3-6 included chicken wings, a block of government cheese, and off brand ritz crackers. And lutevisk. Grad student dream.

Showing up for #NoKings in Columbus, Ohio (German Village and Ohio State Capitol rallies)! Huge turnout and incredible vibes.🥰 People are not just showing up; they are standing together with humor and hope (and some really great costumes). Need to start thinking now about a costume for the next one!

I realize that the faculty are not the actual audience for a slide like this but honestly, I liked it better during Covid times when the administrative guidance to faculty was literally: “Keep Teaching.” Pro-Tip: It’s hard to hold onto credibility in an administrative role and very easy to lose it.

To present this “framework” one can safely assume an administrator is not planning on ever “returning to the faculty.”
