Lindsay Cummings @lindsaybc.bsky.social · 03/05/20252025 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! 000

Lindsay Cummings @lindsaybc.bsky.social · 02/05/2025I 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. 000

Lindsay Cummings @lindsaybc.bsky.social · 29/04/2025If 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. 000
Lindsay Cummings @lindsaybc.bsky.social · 26/04/2025bsky.app/profile/darr... Total violation of the constitution and current law. 010
Lindsay Cummings @lindsaybc.bsky.social · 17/04/2025This entire administration is engaged in class warfare. The attacks on people of color, immigrants, the sick, the disabled, trans people, queer people, and non-Christians is all an attempt to entrench an underclass. 000

Lindsay Cummings @lindsaybc.bsky.social · 09/04/2025bsky.app/profile/thet... The worst part is, no matter what happens they’ll just say “that was our plan all along!” 000
Lindsay Cummings @lindsaybc.bsky.social · 09/04/2025The federal government does not need much help shutting down free speech on college campuses these days. #academicsky 080
Lindsay Cummings @lindsaybc.bsky.social · 09/04/2025UConn 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. 182

Lindsay Cummings @lindsaybc.bsky.social · 30/03/2025When 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 1174
Lindsay Cummings @lindsaybc.bsky.social · 28/03/2025When 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 090
Lindsay Cummings @lindsaybc.bsky.social · 28/03/2025bsky.app/profile/jame... This. RFK policies are based on eugenics. 000
Lindsay Cummings @lindsaybc.bsky.social · 23/03/2025Interesting. I hadn’t thought of that, but certainly they are key to the guarding theme: guarding property, the past, secrets, loved ones, etc. 010
Lindsay Cummings @lindsaybc.bsky.social · 23/03/2025I’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 130

Lindsay Cummings @lindsaybc.bsky.social · 15/03/2025I 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 180
