If an artist is making art but not posting it on social media does it make a sound? Being off instagram specifically (and tiktok and facebook) have been good for my mental health but what about staying engaged/engaging?

Do Not Comply In Advance: bossy, already a cliche, implies permission to comply later

Fuck You, Make Me: leads by example, directs yelling at opposition instead of allies, easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner

People surprised that university admins are ready to throw people under the bus haven’t really been paying attention to how universities work

Now is a good time to change that

It is simply not enough for universities to say, “Our grants & research offices are looking into how research will be affected by the latest directive.”

University leaders must actively and very publicly make the case for the kind of work many of us do. The silence on this front is deafening.

I believe the general internet tradition on these kinds of things is well known.

Propaganda. Name it whenever you witness it. Especially now. Document it, name it, share it.
