You may feel that there's little you can do.
Consider wearing a mask.

In the minutes
before class began
I overheard two students
talking about how the cold
everyone in their frat has
is worse, is so much worse,
than colds usually are,
and as I listened
I wanted to tell them
that what they were describing
wasn’t a cold.

My latest for @hyperallergic.com looks at a late Roman shipwreck (ca. 320 CE) found off the coast of Mallorca with over 300 amphorae.

I have had other colleagues from Europe tell me they simply will not attend conferences in the US for the foreseeable future because they no longer feel welcome. They have seen the stories of travelers detained and don't want to hand their social media over to the current administration for approval

One thing I was not prepared for about academia was how there are pockets where profs view aspirational consumption as a way to signal one's status upon promotion/tenure.
I actually got asked, "Are you going to buy a bigger house?" when word got around that I had submitted my T&P documents. Unreal.

Look, I’ve unsubscribed and resubscribe to the NYT a dozen times in the last few years.
I, too, have been a target of the “ if you had any ethics you would quit” ire when I worked at Deadspin. But journalism jobs are few and far between these days, and there are very few “good” media owners.

You're not very principled if you're working for the NYT at this point. Or at least, it's the wrong damn principles.

I just got back from a walk. While I was walking through the park, a little white boy and his father flagged me down from the very other end of the park. Now to be fair, I have on my hat on, so I’m easy to spot lol. The little boy drew me this. A month ago. He has been waiting to see me again.
