UPDATE: After hearing from friends in the DMs, we’re gonna make this a cohosted gathering. So after my censored remarks, we’ll hear about people actually doing the work that so many of our institutions pretend to. If your org wants to cohost, DM me.

Good thread on why Navi Pillay being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize is significant, especially in the present moment in which the rule of law is under threat by authoritarian regimes.

"Navi Pillay has held states & national leaders accountable & brought hope to victims of violence & conflict. In all the positions she has held, she has stressed the responsibility of individuals & states to comply w/the rule of law. She has also helped define the relevant norms & legal principles."

I ended up reporting this to a librarian who called the police. The police were surprised & seemed impressed that I confronted the guy. This behavior is of course very common in libraries for reasons revealed in my attempts to confront the jerk without disturbing the peace in the library.

Lisa Diedrich @lisadiedrich.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

It was a comical scene because I was aware that I didn't want to be disruptive in the library & it was also hard to keep up with them in the stacks. Eventually, I caught up to them as they made their way to the stairs to leave & I quietly told them off, not making a scene & not touching them.

Lisa Diedrich @lisadiedrich.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Many years ago, I was in the U of Washington library sitting on the floor in the stacks to peruse some books. Someone appeared in the next aisle adjacent to me. I noticed they didn't have shoes on & then I saw that they were watching me & masturbating. I immediately jumped up & chased after them...

The youth protests in France that began over poor learning conditions in schools are now being met by police brutality. This is a clear demonstration (in every sense of that word) of the massive shift in state resources to policing & surveillance rather than public goods like education.

A real successful 1A day here on campus. Heavy hitters. Big student turnout. Engaged questions. My notes for the academic freedom panel is a sort of Cliff Notes of how I approach this thing. This is it. My whole talk.

Notes app reads: Neoliberalism weaponizes bias to justify austerity. Austerity creates corporate universities. Corporate universities are unhealthy organizations. Unhealthy organizations cannot inculcate or defend academic freedom. Without academic freedom to check administrative power, corporate universities will translate austerity into financialized predation. Predation undermines public trust in higher education. Death spiral accelerates.
