I do not care that you are not “surprised.” Please. You have no idea how tiresome it is when you post that something horrible, fascist, authoritarian is “not surprising.” Nothing is “surprising” anymore. But a lot of it is horrible and frightening. Let’s deal with it together.

Favorite film ever
this is one of my ultimate “could never get away with this today” movies

genuinely an impeccable way to teach kids that poverty is an artificial social construct and the cops use violence to enforce it

also Friar Tuck is one of cinema’s greatest Catholics I am serious

A) people recoil in horror when I tell them the amount of reviewing I do in a year

B) sometimes I do service because, if I didn't, a person with less power would be harmed (e.g., tenure)

C) women are treated very differently when we say no to these types of requests
In a study of professors, women got 378 new work requests over 4 weeks vs 118 for men. Women spent more time on service, advising & teaching; men on research. Orgs should track who is taking extra duties & ensure they are rewarded and distributed fairly. www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...

This Fourth of July, I am taking a moment to reflect. Things are hard right now. They are probably going to get worse before they get better.

But I love our country — and when you love something, you fight for it. Together, we will continue to fight for the ideals of our nation.

A moment of silence please for #USAID, which is officially shuttered after months of dismantling.

Why a moment of silence? Not only for the employees. But also for the estimated 14 MILLION deaths by 2030 predicted without the agency.

By 11 am, several hundred people were gathered in LOVE Park, including an Elvis impersonator and a man in colonial garb carrying a sign that read “Philly bows to nobody.” Protestors awaiting the noon rally sang karaoke to songs like “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” next to the LOVE sculpture.
