i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

After a particularly intense shoulder workout with trainer stopped by library to pick up this beast and I don’t think my shoulders will work again after carrying it across campus

An extremely thick Tome sitting on a table, for those of you that are curious it is Splendeurs d’Espagne et les villes belges- a 1985 exhibition catalog that could kill a small animal

Once again, the median pay for an adjunct professor in the United States of America is $3,500 per course. Not per month, per course.

Ask yourself this: how have institutions that for years have said they face budget shortfalls, deficits, shortages that “required” them to deny faculty lines, fire staff, raise tuition, cut research support, etc. suddenly find the money to pay for outrageously expensive contracts for AI services?

I like how this looks like a movie about three girls in their 20s who just don't get along but all have to live together after their grandmother leaves them her rambling mansion in her will, with Sarah McLachlan as their kooky aunt who's also the mayor.

Rolling Stone cover picturing Chappell Roan (in pale white porcelain doll makeup), leaning her head on Olivia Rodrigo's shoulder, with Doechii leaning over Olivia's other shoulder. Olivia has a daisy in her mouth. Sarah McLachlan is leaning over them like she's descending from orbit. Headline "How Daisy Chain Made History: Inside Olivia Rodrigo's fun-filled, fundraising festival"

This is the endgame for TX "core reform": wiping out any traces of the last 100 yrs of scholarship in the humanities, but also wiping out the humanities. This is coming to every system in the state. www.statesman.com/news/educati...

UT proposes cutting more than 100 'narrow' courses from core this spring

UT courses on slavery, race, sexuality and environmental history are among those that could stop counting toward UT's core.

And note that those supports, in form of postdocs, grad students, hourly workers, only accrue to a shrinking minority of academics, as Cottom notes. So, most academic research/books you see out there were put out without any additional institutional support beyond the press/publisher side.

Jennifer Nelson’s entry to this year’s Minnesota State Fair crop art

A localized version of Guernica with a loon at the center and a person holding an ICE OUT sign

“My piece was inspired by Picasso's Guernica, a work that was his response to the Nazi's bombing of the Basque town. I thought there was a fitting parallel between these incidents about the high price paid by ordinary people when aggressive regimes try out new tactics of war, as well as a fitting juxtaposition of the darkness of living such an experience and the light we shone through it in our own resistance and care for one another. The patterns near Renee Good and Alex Pretti’s mouths are actually their last words in Morse code: ‘I’m not mad at you,’ and ‘Are you okay?’”
