I think I experienced every emotion possible during the last 9 km of this race despite barely knowing who either of these riders are.

Our first publication for our @nsfappexcenter.bsky.social project on the Nantucket Wapanoag (forthcoming in @contexts.org) centers on this map, here with my co-author Shaylee Hodges at the Nantucket Whaling Museum.

Starting Week 3 in the Nantucket Archives on a great project to solve a 263-year-old medical mystery with @sjryan3.bsky.social and others for @nsfappexcenter.bsky.social

I requested an external review for a P&T candidate, and the scholar replied with a demand for payment. And you thought @timgill924.bsky.social was over the top in his parody of a**hole professors. He's barely scratched the surface.

As a political scientist who studies countries that managed to stop the slide into authoritarianism, I can assure you that ***refraining from provoking the authoritarian*** is not how it works. Without further ado, I will now go tear out another chunk of hair.

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government

Things I did not have on today's shock doctrine bingo card: everyone on Bluesky losing their sh** over onesies. #feelthebern

Your challenge is to work the phrase “are you supportive of these onesies” into one conversation this weekend

To all those people who've just discovered Bluesky: Welcome! Feel free to leave your coat on the bed. Beer and wine are in the cooler.

Just a reminder that I can't fire @timgill924.bsky.social even if I wanted to (I don't), so don't ask.

Winter storm brain freeze. Accidentally texted my Dean instead of my Admin to get dinner reservations for a job candidate changed. (He did it.)

Oh, joy! Unbenounced to me, my computer changed every instance of "deductive" to "seductive." Thought I was writing statistical theory. Turns out, I was writing porn.

As well-meaning publishers try to navigate the coming storm of state laws against diversity, I hope they'll consider Timothy Snyder's Rule #1 (from his slim book ON TYRANNY).
Reproduction of excerpt from Timothy Snyder's book ON TYRANNY:

"1. Do not obey in advance.
Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do."

Perhaps the best thing about attending @sda-demography.bsky.social's annual meeting is seeing so many young Black and Latinx scholars choosing the field and making great contributions. #SDA2023

So I asked my Ojibwe husband how he wanted to celebrate Indigenous People's Day and he said, "Well, I think I'll drink this beer," and that seems like as good an idea as any.
