True. Also, it HAS to be done; why should one category of capable person get to duck it?

I am endlessly judgmental of men who duck, judge, or otherwise refuse to engage in care work. It's labor, of course, but it's also as often a garden of delights as it is frustrating.

One of my DH origin stories was figuring out how to terminal my way to disabling the startup sound on my Mac before they had a toggle for doing so. This is the way.

They're talking now about the tacitness of how the uni works (& therefore how to make good+change in it): happening in hallways, union conversations, knowledge over time, but less often in classrooms. @walshbr.bsky.social builds that info into his classroom teaching, as part of all knowledge work.

Book structure: knowable, neutral, intellectual, future-oriented—started w/"neutral" section as a response to protests incl. UVA's state police attack on the Gaza solidarity encampment vs uni's claim to "neutrality", how to address this smokescreen in class, not treat as not impacting students

Good Q from @winnieepm.bsky.social on how we address the blowback people get for doing this work, incl w/action in solidarity. (Also shoutout @walshbr.bsky.social combining theory w/actual classroom exercises in his book; & despite digital humanities base how broadly book applies across academia.)
