"UM's endowment climbed $2 billion to a market value of $21.2 billion during the past fiscal year." And yet, staff are still being laid off due to federal cuts. Many of us haven't seen measurable pay increases to match the cost of living in years When will this university invest in its employees?

I hate that this is where I’ve landed, but it turns out that the world is just irredeemably bad, and the best you can do is toil endlessly at the sisyphean task of making it a tiny bit better

absolutely love doing academic reading with a baseball game on mute in the background. i think i could literally do it all day, every day, for many years in a row without tiring of it. soccer is a close second.
