Anybody out there have any policy language on personnel assessment of creative activity related to printing/making, esp in the context of a humanities department? My dept (English) is expanding the scope of what counts as research & creative activity, & I want to provide some guidance on this front.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

His name was Geraldo Lunas Campos. If you pay taxes in the US, you paid 4 ICE officers to hold him down while a 5th choked him to death. This murder is more likely to be justified as a natural consequence of being a "criminal alien" than to be prosecuted.

i personally think we should build a global security architecture where war is considered stupid
there was a funny post a while back about how one part of the left thinks every foreign conflict is WW1 while the centre and centre-left think every conflict is WW2
Like, as I understand it the rhetoric here is basically applying the literal WW1 Eastern Front view of "it's just conscripts fighting over imperial ambition instead of overthrowing their leaders", which:
- doesn't even map onto the rest of WW1
- totally ignores the actual occupied peoples' wishes

Inside the detention center, Gibson said officers put him in a bare, metal holding cell about the size of a small conference room with around 40 other detainees. Their legs were shackled. Gibson said one person in the cell appeared to have scabies.
