#AcademicSky Increasingly, Americans are becoming aware that US POLICING was built off frame of slave catchers. That is, to control Black people. But did you know that the US MILITARY was built to control Indigenous/Native peoples? www.pushkin.fm/first-americ...

Mixed feelings about this one. The Arday case is painful, and I get vulnerable in this piece. But the message is important, and it draws some of my favorite research, led by Brittany Torrez with @mwkraus.bsky.social . My latest, in Times Higher Ed. www.timeshighereducation.com/opinion/blac...

#AcademicSky It saddens me that we have courses for undergrads to learn how to make friends. Sign of society in distress. Too bad our university courses can't be about human emotions, politics, biology, poetry.... .... with students forming friendships around their love of these discoveries.

The American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Family Physicians and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists suggest the vaccines for most people, including healthy adults ages 18 to 64 and healthy children ages 2 to 18, if their parents want them to get one.

#AcademicSky Reminds me of flight to conference on a small Dash-8 prop plane I told pilot of concerning amount of wind rushing in door at back of plane. He points to dashboard: "Let me tell you buddy, if there was a problem, this here light would be flashing" (in Southern US accent). Gulp.

pilot panicing bc fuel light is on in place. Then calms, realizing it's the just the intercom light

#AcademicSky I think a lot of academics can identify with #Rush drummer Neil Peart (aka "The Professor") According to Geddy Lee, Neil's philosophy: 🥁 If you're not getting better, you're getting worse. Is this why we work all the damn time? Never satisfied?
