Excellent reporting from the Cavalier Daily about the right’s bad faith and paranoid obsession with syllabi at UVA. It’s worth keeping in mind that this contingent is led by people like Bert Ellis, who even Glenn Youngkin decided is too crazy to be trusted. www.cavalierdaily.com/article/2025...
Faculty question the motives behind FOIA requests for course materials, text messages
Assoc. Sociology Prof. Ian Mullins acknowledged that FOIA can be a powerful tool for researchers and journalists, but claimed that some organizations and individuals use it as an intimidation tactic.

Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.

Just had a very strange interaction on 5th St. downtown C’ville with a woman driving a navy blue VW SUV with Alaska plates. As she drove off, with her husband and child in the car, she stared me down, then made a V gesture and flicked her tongue through it. What is wrong with people?

The reason they gave up is because the Democrats’ real constituency is upper middle class travelers worried about delays, not working class SNAP beneficiaries and people most harmed by the loss of health care.

Glad to see my undergrad is *finally* getting it done.
For shame, all of ya, except Smith College, which *increased* the percentage of Black first-year students this year. 🫡
An AP analysis finds drops in the number of Black freshmen at many elite colleges in the two years since the Supreme Court’s decision ending affirmative action.

Part of the story about the war on US higher ed right now is university board members who want to see changes for the school that they can’t achieve structurally or politically – their power not in fact being unqualified – inviting and enabling federal incursion to make those changes
I get to be the proud alum who explains to everybody in the group chat how the governor pushed people onto the board and those new members began working with DOJ to threaten the president so he would resign so they could do a coup and replace him with someone that would destroy the university
