Reposted by ODave Singleton @dfsingleton.com · 04/10/2026The constituencies they represent are faculty, staff, and students. However, that is not the same as who they are accountable to—which are regents/trustees, donors, and politicians. The tension lies in accountability vs. representation. 011

But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on.

O @omagus.bsky.social · 30/09/2026The thing about so many of these tech billionaires is that unfathomable wealth was always a goal but never THE goal. They grew up as nerds/geeks who are perpetually stuck in adolescence; their money was supposed to be their ticket into the cool club. I know they hate that they still get laughed at. 130
