In case anyone was wondering how it’s going over on American Girl doll Instagram

User @backintimeag:
The text “Kirsten will be happy when ICE gets the fuck out of Minnesota” over a picture of 1850s immigrant and Minnesota-dwelling doll character Kirsten Larson in the snow.

If *your department head and your dean* can be removed for supporting your colleague in teaching in their area of expertise, then you have no academic freedom. In a functional sense, you don't work at a university at all.

Society for Literature, Science and the Arts folks: I'm running for member at large! I'd be thrilled to represent you. To me SLSA is a weird, wonderful interdisciplinary home & a space for supporting each other that makes it all feel worth it. Votes are due 5/1 - thanks for considering! (link 👇)
