Love that we’re living in a world where any time your phone pops a news notification, my immediate thought is “Please be stupid clickbait. Please be stupid clickbait.”

1. Texas A&M has voted that Professors must seek out official permission to talk about trans people, sexuality, or race. One of the professors said that the new policy would make routine lessons on things like the Holocaust impossible. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Texas A&M Votes That Professors Must Have Permission To Discuss Trans People, Sexuality or Race

The Texas Board of Regents said it wasn’t restricting “teaching,” but professors—and a university press release—says otherwise.

This Independence Day weekend, remember to fight the tyranny of subsidizing tax cuts for the super rich!

2025 things I did not sign up for: “Styling” my houseplants. When did keeping them alive and healthy stop being enough? Cashew cream on everything. It’s good, but it’s not cheese, and you can’t make me think it is. The attack on “meno-belly.” Get away with your fake wellness body shaming!

I still don’t understand why there’s not more outrage at the blatant falsehoods: “we have no control at all over these people we threw in a prison on El Salvador.” You’re paying El Salvador to keep them there! Stop paying. Pretty sure that gives you some control.

You know what’s fun? Antihistamine-included heart arrhythmia right before an intense meeting. 0 out of 10.

If I hear one more NPR host ask a guest “Is this kind of thing normal?” I’m going to scream. No. It’s not normal. It’s authoritarian, it’s inept, and it’s a freaking Constitutional crisis.

UConn AAUP is holding a demonstration on April 17 against the federal attacks on higher education. UConn would not give us a permit, citing the new policy on noise during daytime hours, which was hastily created after the pro-Palestine demonstrations in spring.

When you’re VP of conference for a U.S.-based academic org and have to send out the “we know the U.S. is scary right now, so if you expect to have international scholars in your group we’re allowing you to convert your in person panel to virtual” email. #academicsky

When I’m super overwhelmed, I often start working on my syllabi for next semester. It’s procrastination that makes me feel like I’m actually solving problems for future me. #academicsky

I’d read Tea Orbeht’s first novel. I liked it, but found the distanced, dreamy style not quite to my taste. But it works perfectly for this tale of myth, youthful superstitions, climate change, trauma, loss, the power of the mind, and the power of a story. One to remember. #booksky

Anyone else out there find themselves cleaning the toilet in the middle of the mount of food poisoning because your family is disgusting and never cleans, and the stink is making you even sicker? Anyone say “yes” who isn’t a mom?

I was not expending energy worrying about losing my job due to the financial crisis in higher education or the DEI-based attacks on higher ed. The world is crazy and you can’t control crazy. But I am truly worrying about what it would take to find a new job in a recession/depression. #AcademicSky

Here’s what I don’t understand: the Republican Party seems to have one goal of killing people (anti vax, kill anti-pollution laws, etc) while simultaneously trying to increase the birth rate. Make up your minds.
