Our union president compiled a chart of salaries for different career stages (first year TT, promotion to Associate, promotion to Full, end of career) at my university (Western Oregon University). Adjusted for inflation, faculty are making between 5,000 to 25,000 less now than we were in 2009

I’ve seen all the pictures but there’s something about driving by the White House and seeing the UFC set-up over a week after the event that really drives home how ridiculous this administration is

I just opened the mailbox to find my very first copy of my book! The way I screamed!

I just got a copy of my cover for my forthcoming book! It features a postcard from Fez by the Moroccan Jewish photographer Joseph Bouhsira. Bouhsira was the first Moroccan to establish his own commercial photography studio, and many of his images featured the Jewish community in Fez.

Bottom half of the image has an image of an oil seller in Fez surrounded by Muslim and Jewish Moroccans. The image highlights the religious diversity of the crowd, and demonstrates the dynamic nature of the Jewish district

It's not out yet, but I can still promote my book (I have the proofs!) Interested in the ways photography and photographers were used to develop historical narratives around Moroccan history (and the challenges to these narratives)?

Tweet from @dieworkwear stating "not true. your style has so little to do with classic men's dress that the FBI was able to use your shoes to identify you as one of the jan 6th rioters. i know this bc you once followed me, but then i saw your ugly shoes, blocked you, and alerted the FBI" Photos show a man wearing a MAGA hat and ugly shoes
