Tell me you have no idea how higher ed works outside of elite universities without telling me: conservative groups want to "increase" teaching loads to 3-3. 🤪 They also want to privilege $ to STEM. 🤣 So, they want to lower my teaching load and keep the $ status quo at most unis? #academicsky

Seeing the disappointment of colleagues this time of year coupled with the lack of feedback from search committees means it is time for me to share my "thoughts from the regional comprehensive" job search blog post.

I found a missing property register from the Jalisco State Archive in the Municipal Archive. #miracles #archive #history We're looking at 400 pages of material covering last names G to N. No longer having to figure out the acrobatics of "here's all the women who own property not named Garcia, etc."

Excellent primer yesterday on the current basic #economics of #Argentina from @wbur.org On Point. Hear @mdebolle.com explain terms for non-specialists (with a side of fact checking). A good item to send friends doing the "it is not a bailout" song and dance.

The real reason for the U.S.-Argentina bailout
American taxpayers are bailing out Argentina to the tune of $20 billion. But what does the U.S. get out of it? And can it really fix Argentina’s economy?

Public busses in #Guadalara #Mexico. 75 people in a full bear hug racing then suddenly braking together in absolute silence except a Luismi soundtrack.
Sometimes on the NYC subway, it hits just how weird it is for 50 strangers to be packed in a crate together while fully dedicated to pretending they don't exist
And some nascent midwest-esque part thinks "Maybe I should say hello--" before the NY part cuts in with "Mm I wouldn't recommend that"

In 2008 I was walking at 6am in Columbus, NM after camping at the state park with students. Border Patrol was driving on another street, saw me, flipped around, came racing up on me, pulled up, looked at me, then raced off. My white face was my "papers."
Gregory Bovino, commander-at-large of the U.S. #BorderPatrol, claims a @wbez.org/@chicago.suntimes.com report about his comments Sunday in downtown #Chicago was "grossly inaccurate" and taken out of context. So we've posted the interview's unedited AUDIO and TRANSCRIPT:
