Oh this is really fucking terrible. Thanks as alert for keeping receipts, Paisley.

Why Attack Iran? Our Authoritarianism and Our Corruption

This was what I needed to understand this morning. Why attack Iran? Timothy Snyder gives two reasons: undermining democracy at home, and enriching the Trump family further. Disgusting.

Dumbing down higher education as higher education policy.

UT’s Women's and Gender Studies won a department. Then politics closed in UT faculty say women's and gender studies is a long-established discipline that’s being gutted and defined without their input or voice.

The first draft of the history of the demise of US higher education is now being written by journalists like the tenacious Lily Kepner. Read all her stories for the receipts on what's happening at UT Austin.

Thanks Paisley. We need all of us.

Now that Faculty Council has been dissolved and our administrators from the Dean level up have been replaced by political appointees, a free press is the only place UT Austin faculty have to speak up.

Solidarity friend. It can happen here, and it has.

Please read. The sidelining of scholars from our distinguished Department of Mexican-American and Latinx Studies, alongside the rise of billionaire-funded new programs in “civic leadership,” in a state that is 40% Latino, is a shameless assertion of white supremacy.

So good.

I see it.

Just ordered more whistles.

Joseph O'Niell in the New York Review of Books is a trusted source, in my opinion. He says donate to ActBlue. I freaking hate the Democratic Party leadership--they are completely AWOL in this fight--but there are people down the chain, like AOC and Ilhan Omar, whom I respect and follow.

Thank you Steve.

O Canada. Worth a listen

For another art monster guilty pleasure, I recommend the streaming series doc SCORSESE.

Thank you for sharing this glimpse of your mother, Rebecca. I’m so glad you had a wonderful mom. And I’m so sorry for your loss.

I was at MOMA in NYC. I had just finished bingeing Mae Martin's serial Wayward. I was leaving the gift shop and someone brushed by me--I looked at them--it was MAE MARTIN! Just as hot as she seems onscreen, but as is so often the case, much shorter. My arm tingled for the rest of the day.

I wouldn't say I'm a guy's guy but I'm here for the Dutch lesbian romance.

Hard same

Please give me the name of the show! This Canadian queer girl has got to see it. Googled "puck buddies" but, umm....

Yay Steve!

UT’s diversity of thought is real — and well worth defending | Opinion Diverse areas of study bring diverse perspectives — the hallmark of a great university. Political meddling is threatening that at the University of Texas, Steve Wechsler writes.

From guest columnist + UT faculty member Steve Wechsler: “I do not see evidence of intolerance to diverse views at UT. What I see is a range of departments seeking truth from different angles, creating a university that is greater than the sum of its parts.” ❤️
