Have you ever tried to read a scientific journal article and been told “you don’t have access, pay to download this article?” Did you know that the author of that article gets $0 if you pay? Instead, you can email the author and ask for a free copy! I’d be delighted to help and answer questions!

The US higher education system is not equipped to correct for the effects of systemic injustice and underfunding at the high school, middle school, and elementary school levels.

Colleagues, please... I know higher ed is under siege, but we desperately need more entry-level assistant professorships and postdocs in areas that are not AI or AI adjacent. And, as a graduate program director, "open rank professor of AI" is not something that most R1s train for outside of STEM.

The cost of STEM/Econ materials is so high that students then don't buy relatively cheap humanities texts because they (understandably) run out of money. But it's not really fair for textbooks to be considered "essential" in STEM/Econ but "optional" in the humanities. gwhatchet.com/2019/09/02/s...

gwhatchet.com

STEM course materials about 85 percent costlier than humanities, arts textbooks

Students enrolled in STEM courses pay about $45 more for books than those in non-STEM courses, a Hatchet analysis found.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

I guess i never realized the word ‘narcotics’ was so old. In Chaucer’s Knight’s Tale, Palamon drugs his jailer “[w]ith nercotikes and opie of Thebes fyn” (1472).

destroying books like this belies a belief that their value lies solely in the content of the printed text it doesn’t; any historian, literary scholar, art historian, or humanist with any training will tell you that this is an absurd and harmful reduction of the book to unchanging object

dr. christopher @eatthatbee.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

it’s difficult to overstate just how anti-intellectual this entire enterprise is. books contain words, yes, but particularly in the case of rare books, they contain histories of use, lives lived, and often serendipitous glimpses into how people in the past intimately engaged with the object.
