Is been so hard seen people on same stage publish more and feel they are more successful. They also have more students, and different family and immigrantion circumstances. Like they are so so smart and hardworking and is so hard to not compare because academia wants you to compare yourself

Tenure year brings reflections.And I need to give myself grace for the wild circumstances I have lived through the last 5 years. But also quantity is not quality. I have some very good stuff on the pipeline that has taken years to build and polish because first rounds failed. I am still good at this

I've kept telling people not to sleep on Mississippi. Can you imagine what this barnburner Senate election between Cindy Hyde-Smith and Scott Colom would've looked like had one-sixth of its Black population regained the right to vote overnight? bsky.app/profile/dutc...

This is why more women don't come forward, and why more rapists aren't jailed. Because mostly-male cops and prosecutors find it more believable that a 20-yr-old would want to have sex with a room full of fraternity brothers than accept she was raped. What ever happened to common fucking sense?

I think #chemsky has discussed before how NO-ONE should be feeding unpublished or proprietary data into public models. It really feels like that is worth reiterating.

“None of them said anything and six others jumped into the gang rape because when they left their good homes with good mothers they entered the Cornell group chat. The world is the Cornell group chat. I am typing this from the Cornell group chat.” I read as I try not to cry while F plays with legos

I'll never forget the student journalists at Columbia who continued to cover the university bringing in an army of cops to dismantle the Pro-Palestine student encampments. Even when the folks at the SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM were prohibited from covering it, they stayed and kept covering. Amazing kids

This Labor Day, if you've ever benefited from: — The weekend — 40-hour work weeks — Workplace safety standards — A minimum wage — Paid time off thank a union. Unions don’t just improve working conditions for their members, they help every American worker. Happy Labor Day!

The labor movement gave us weekends, 8 hour work days, and ensured that our kids can go to school rather than work. Honored to fight for unions every day. Happy Labor Day to all those who have fought for a fairer economy in the richest country in the world.

The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

O Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years
2023
satin ribbons

After unexpectedly winning her first blue ribbon for a sewn cape in 1981, Carol St. Clair Johnson developed an enduring love for the New Mexico State Fair. The quilt Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years incorporates more than six hundred of the ribbons she won at the fair every subsequent year except 2020 (when the fair was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic). Johnson earned ribbons for needlework, knitting, crochet, pies, cookies, cakes, canning, jewelry, flowers, vegetables, and potted plants. The title of the quilt is a reference to the state song, and the design places the state's Zia sun symbol at the center. The quilt earned Johnson yet another ribbon: Best in Category (miscellaneous quilt) at the 2023 New Mexico State Fair.
