Appreciate the author acknowledging that this is a problem in multiple industries. Academia has taken a page from Walmart’s book in recent years. Many adjuncts have more in common with Walmart employees than w. FT faculty peers. All labor is skilled. No-one deserves to have this labor exploited.

Slow clap for CSCU corruption.
Terrence Cheng, embattled CSCU head, to be stripped of leadership position
Under an agreement, Cheng will be moved to a new job, "strategic advisor to the Board of Regents," the board announced Monday. His contract will not be renewed next year.

So I have no path to full time teaching but disgraced chancellor Cheng gets a tenured teaching job?! In case anyone is wondering why higher education is so expensive, I suggest you look at the leadership packages cuz it sure as hell ain’t my adjuncting salary.

The power of photography meets an absolutely disgraceful episode in our history…
U.S. Marines killed 24 civilians in Haditha, Iraq, and documented the aftermath. For years, the military tried to keep the photos from the public.
The Haditha Massacre Photos That the Military Didn’t Want the World to See
When U.S. Marines killed twenty-four people in an Iraqi town, they also recorded the aftermath of their actions. For years, the military tried to keep these photos from the public.

This is actually a lovely idea! We should all wander into public places and share our treats - it’s really rough out here!

Thanks for sharing! A neighbor here in Fairfield, CT sold their house and land and now we have TEN of these monstrosities where just one farmhouse used to be. Could easily fit 2 or 3 families in each single-family house. This kind of development only exacerbates our affordability crisis.
