Really proud of this article out now in J19 on Pauline Hopkins, science, history, race, and morality. There is one glaring factual error that I apologize to the people of Sudan for. muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/articl...

"I have a high IQ" is such an amazing thing to say because it immediately reveals you as a total numbskull. Hard to think of a more perfect self-refuting statement.

I have always opposed “baby boxes” for a public health standpoint (everything about them screams “don’t get any prenatal care or medical assistance at birth”). But now that one was allegedly used I have even more concerns. 1819news.com/news/item/fi...

Still called out by Janice Radway

Radway, Women Read the Romance: Interpretiver eadingi s an unproblematica ctivity for these
students of the romance because they too assume that the text has
intrinsic power to coerce all cooperative readers into discovering
the core of meaning that is undeniably there in the book.
Moreover, because their analysis proceeds under the assumption
that a literary work's objective reality remains unchanged despite
differences among individual readers and in the attention they
devote to the text, these critics understandably assume further
that their own reading of a given literary form can stand as the
representativeo f all adequater eadingso f it. Finally,t hey assume
also that their particular reading can then become the object of
further cultural analysis that seeks to explain the popularity of the
form and its appeal to its audience. In the end, they produce their
explanation merely by positing a desire in the reading audience
for the specific meaning they have unearthed.

Congressional staffers say an onslaught of calls and emails asking for members to support a cease-fire has caught Dems completely off-guard. “I’ve never seen such a disconnect between where voters and constituents are and where Congress is"

Congressional staff say the mood inside the Capitol is tense, stifling and bewildering as members brush off their constituents’ outrage.

As I continue to say: at the schools slashing humanities programs, look at where the admins went to college, as well as where they send their own children. They have no problem narrowing the horizons for other people's kids because they and theirs remain untouched by the consequences.

Doritos Locos Tacos have lasted almost 3x longer than the Confederacy.

Some Confederate apologist named Reed Cooley: They took pictures of this because they wanted you to feel angry and hopeless at what they were doing.

They want your forefathers hanged, drawn, and quartered, but they’ll settle for dismembered statues (for now).

You want to think the Karikó story is going to make universities rethink the value of basic research that doesn’t yet pull grant $, but actually it’s going to make them demand Nobel Prizes to renew NTTs.

worrying not having a professional network and realizing no one in my grad school cohort has a TT job and many left academia. And of the ~10 or so people I became close to during 2 years in leadership in a professional org none of us has a research-focused position and several have left academia.
