I just did a search for "Huron Consulting" on bluesky for "reasons" and most of the posts are like this. Did not realize one company was the cause of almost all of the higher ed damage and destruction of recent years. One post called for some investigative reporting of this company. Much needed.

Yup. I've never met a human I couldn't have intellectual intimacy with.

Love to be prohibited from discussing load-bearing concepts like gender, class, race by people who literally never stop using them.

3rd-4th grade. reading books was easier than talking to people. was an "annoying know-it-all." i got better at hiding it around 7th grade, finding my own niches and people, finding ways as others on here have said to hide it under "quirky," got so into ballet i didn't need a social life

Documenting people’s experiences systematically matters because people’s experiences matter. Sometimes when I present empirical results I say, “As you or someone you love can probably personally attest, X matters profoundly for Y.“

Any time you see media on Prop 40 that cites "Stanford economics professors" arguing against the billionaire tax, notice that: A. They mean Hoover Insititute work product. B. They aren't citing UC Berkeley economics professors arguing for it: gabriel-zucman.eu/files/BSZ202...

"If more books were published by men with explicitly masculine themes, would there actually be a wider male readership?" This is very much in the Platnerian mode that presumes all men are only attracted to content by, for, and possibly about Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor. jacobin.com/2026/10/lone...

My favourite Annie Dillard quote, from THE WRITING LIFE

Who will teach me to write? a reader wanted to know.

The page, the page, that eternal blankness, the blankness of eternity which you cover slowly, affirming time’s scrawl as a right and your daring as necessity; the page, which you cover woodenly, ruining it, but asserting your freedom and power to act, acknowledging that you ruin everything you touch but touching it nevertheless, because acting is better than being here in mere opacity; the page, which you cover slowly with the crabbed thread of your gut; the page in the purity of its possibilities; the page of your death, against which you pit such flawed excellences as you can muster with all your life’s strength: that page will teach you to write.

Mark Fisher says weird things are 'hypernatural'. The monster ought not to be here, but it is here, therefore it is not the monster which is wrong, but our model of the world. That's profoundly destabilising. The monster & my old way of thinking cannot co-exist. This is the threat of the neuroweird.

I took my notes for a paper to one of my profs in desperation. He was very kind. And he said this reads like a poem. I wish I had had more self assurance back then to write the way I actually want to write. I wish I had the time to do it now.

when I was in grad school coursework I was dealing with the end of an abusive relationship, a concussion and post-concussion syndrome and an undiagnosed mental illness. I struggled to finish most of my seminar papers.

I skimmed the Emily Wilson review of Anne Carson’s Wrong Norma and it made me realize why I’m so attracted to Carson’s work. An academic’s interest in deep reading, learning, and contextualizing paired with a deeply creative approach to engaging with texts and writing about them.
