A modest proposal: university presidents should lose their jobs the moment they fire the first faculty member for “financial reasons.” Like it should be a trigger clause in their contracts.

AAAAAHHH I DID IT
I’ve uploaded all my tenure documents but now I’m staring at the screen too afraid to press submit. Taking suggestions on ways to break the impasse/adequately motivating rewards that I can use to get myself across the finish line!

I was waiting for an EKG when I found out and I legit had to tell them that I was upset and not to let it mess up the measurements. RIP to the greatest singer of love and protest in our time.

Ok I’m still laughing about this. Imagine posting your very serious (indeed life-threatening) take on interspecies entanglement only to have THEE Donna Haraway show up like NOT LIKE THAT
back in the day, when people still used facebook, a famous professor posted about how they have some infection but won't take antibiotics bc of it what does it to the gut biome, and donna haraway responded to tell her to take the freaking medicine. interspecies entanglement can be deadly!

Update: I have been informed (by the mosquitoes) that I have to “quit complaining” because this is “environmental humanities praxis of interspecies entanglement”
I need the mosquitoes who keep biting me on the face to please reconsider. Wtf.
