anti-DEI laws at the state and federal levels have emboldened (y)our colleagues. many of them are poised to use their power—however limited—against you/us. the chances of their success are higher than they have been in quite some time. but we are not powerless.

i rarely talk about work on these apps, but do you want to know how alabama universities are doing post-SB129 (anti-DEI practices)? recently i was asked to account for the “drastic improvement” in my course evaluations and then told that the account was insufficient. 😐

Pinocchio always said, "Always let your conscience be your guide." Looks like the Republicans missed that memo and decided to let Elon Musk be their compass instead.

Never speak to me again about the American justice system.
A man with 30 years of reprehensible behavior—sexual assault, rape, economic fraud, corruption, insurrection, and nearly every crime short of murder—has evaded accountability at every turn.

A whining Rudy Giuliani asked a judge for special treatment today, saying “I have no car, no credit card, no cash, everything I have is tied up, they have put stop orders on my business accounts, and I can’t pay my bills.”
I’m sorry, but boo f*cking hoo.
