my deeply felt opinion ('felt' being the operative word): for assistant professor positions, small colleges and universities should STOP preferring postdoctoral experience as soon as possible you are asking for more training under more onerous conditions for more time for lower long-term wages

Anyway I personally think that one thing I want my elected officials to perform is that EVERY TIME they are given the option, they should vote against fascism. Not just some of the time. Every time.

I think its whats done with the system, right? Its the same as computers, the internet, automation, robotics and AI -- its an opportunity to make everyones life better... but in practice, workers quality of life doesnt improve, and the benefits only go to the bosses/billionaires.

I majored in Mechanical Engineering and love my degree and everything it's brought me; the best classes I took in college were the GEs. Not because they were the most "useful" but because they broaden your view of the world outside your chosen field of excellence.

When we hate on these disgusting immoral evil billionaires it’s bc just look at everything Dolly did. They could be doing that. They could just be helping people and every day they choose not to help people. They choose to harm. And when they die, we’ll dance and laugh and be thankful they’re gone.

I just want to build a new society built around a common understanding: If you have more money than you could ever spend and you still want more, you are a fundamentally broken human who needs supportive intervention before you are fit to participate in a healthy, functioning community.

I am indeed a professor. I read ugh, theory. I read a lot of history; articles and books. Its because the stuff I read for work is so dark, and intense that I need something to change the gears. So hell yes, I read absolutely trashy romance novels, and I read smut. We can do it all, I believe.

When people say they’ve read 100 books a year and it’s all smut I get mad. That shit does not count.

Wanna know who actually reads hella books per year? Professors. On top of journal articles. On top of student essays.

Pretending that you do not have a politicsl ideology is in itself a political ideology

If faculty and students seek to pursue the truth wherever it lies, a university cannot have a political ideology or pursue a particular vision of social change

I’m saying this as someone who’s in a 90% teaching position. Teaching vs. research is a false choice. Robust public funding of higher ed that existed without controversy until Reagan is the answer. The answer to “solving” whatever “problems” exist in higher ed is literally “throw money at it.”
