The entire field of 19th century studies is about how wrong this summation is #19c

Reading was an unremarkable activity, essentially unchanged since the advent of the modern publishing industry, in the nineteenth century.

ICE arrested Job Garcia while he was running errands in LA. Job is a US citizen, a scholar, and a brilliant photographer. He’s also my friend. But none of that should determine his humanity. ICE must release Job Garcia immediately.

The public colleges of New York, Texas, and California are great engines of social mobility in America. They move many born in the lower 20% of income to the top 20%. Our most elite universities move smaller numbers from the bottom 20% income to the top 1%. Paper: www.nber.org/system/files...

Small thing to do for your visa/green-card grads rn. Make sure they collect the numbers of several *trusted* senior faculty and family/friends. Then teach them how to set up an action button that texts everyone at once with one button/Siri. Share location enabled. www.google.com/search?clien...

True story: the last thing I did as Associate Editor of Studies in Romanticism was solicit this *very timely* forum on Transromanticsm - it has now been published in the current issue - and is OPEN ACCESS for 1 month. Thrilled to receive the issue in the mail too muse.jhu.edu/journal/754

Holy cow. This is deep in the weeds, and people outside science departments and deans' offices won't have a clue what it means. But the NIH has just capped indirect costs on all current and future grants at 15%. The STEM budget of every research university has just been absolutely shot to hell.

Fred Moten said "The coalition emerges out of your recognition that it’s fucked up for you, in the same way that we’ve already recognized that it’s fucked up for us. I don’t need your help. I just need you to recognize that this shit is killing you, too, however much more softly."

Who is working on the not enshittified version of Meta? Having a hard time leaving that Nazi site bc of its less public social emotional connection to folks (friends from HS, college, grad school, former students & colleagues I care about but am not in intimate text/convo connection with).
