I’ve been listening to classic gospel for two days. I just know my Grandmomma is trying to tell me something.

I crack up when academic researchers insert shade into their papers.

Something is wrong with me because I’m trying to watch women’s college basketball but all of the sounds are too much at the moment. I have never watched a game on mute before but here we go.

You know it was hot as hell today in California if San Francisco is holding heat at night. All I have on is a shawl over my dress. 😱

I love when academics team up and produce groundbreaking work. Bastedo and Jaquette has been a fave for a long time, but a new pair is coming for their spot in my research library.

A thing that has happened to men in the podcast era is not only the manosphere but also the loss of good, long form sports writing. One of the most interesting labor situations in U.S. history is happening in collegiate athletics and the best writers are doing hot takes instead of in depth thinking.

I’m so pleased CA course corrected from putting more money into corrections than we did into higher education. It took some time but we made it a priority.

Listening to an update about some state bills, and California is definitely shoring itself up against being reliant on the Feds. Our leg isn’t playing.

Our faculty senate does a labor acknowledgement in addition to the land and it focuses on the enslaved peoples of the U.S. It does something for me every time I hear it.

Very random lunchtime musings: The Sopranos is not a story of the mob. It’s a story of multiple generations of the relationship b/w managers and staff and between managers. From that lens there are some real lessons.

Flavor Flav will go down as both an incredible musician, and incredibly kind. That’s a hell of a mark to make between the dash. Good on him. (If you’ve never seen him play an instrument get on youtube immedjitly. Particularly bass.)

Don’t know how old this pumpkin is, but I wouldn’t have been able to name Spiro Agnew as a kid. I think it sunk in later. And so much is competing for the attn of the youth. I don’t know how the parents are managing.

As we’re closing Black History Month I continue to think about how can we honor folks before they are gone. As far as I’m aware, Civil Rights Movement icon Elizabeth Eckford is still with us. Lonnette McKie and CCH Pounder could use some recognition in the arts.

Listening to an education hearing where our Big Boss is providing a statement. I appreciate that she always includes the staff. Students, faculty and STAFF. Second she’s actually talking about maintenance. Campus maintenance isn’t sexy it’s something leaders often avoid.

I am going to start watching Lioness because Michael Kelly is in it. That dude is always playing some govt official doing shady things to save democracy and that’s an energy I can get behind.

If you’re seeing horrible flooding on Eastern campuses today this is reality of deferred maintenance. Often big donations are restricted funds that are earmarked for scholarships only. State funds are tied up in K-12 and healthcare. Private schools face little margins.

Now if you see me riding carefully behind CHiPS then why would you zip around me and then get pulled over by CHiPS?!

I woke up an hour and a half before my alarm and was singing “Sweet Freedom” by Michael McDonald from the “Running Scared” soundtrack. Something gotta be wrong with me.
