The State of the Union hasn’t even started, and somehow it already feels three hours too long.

Außerdem die Energie die man auf wendet ständig Bewerbungen zu schreiben, anstatt die Forschung gerade im Bereich der Geisteswissenschaften sinnvoll in die Gesellschaft einzubringen 🤷

hab in den letzten Tagen viel mit Freund:innen & Kolleg:innen über Jobs gesprochen.In- und außerhalb der Wissenschaft.Viele Jahre lang war ich #IchBinHanna & hab zig Bewerbungen geschrieben.Ich dachte ich teile mal ein paar Jobportale (außer Indeed&Co).Gerne ergänzen!Wir hatten das mal bei Twitter:

I'm headed to the @munsecconf.bsky.social in Germany to stand up for California as a trusted, reliable partner on climate action, green energy, and innovation.

The part time debate currently drives me nuts. I would like to work any job somewhat related to my field, ideally full-time but I would take and am in a position to do part-time.
But this is all I get...

Trump expands policy banning aid to groups abroad that discuss or provide abortions In addition to adding to the list of groups that will lose funding for providing or discussing abortion, the policy now also calls for ending aid to groups that embrace DEI.

Donald Trump is headed to the World Economic Forum in Switzerland to brag about wrecking the American economy.

That's why I've also flown to Davos — with an extra suitcase of kneepads for those caving to Trump's insanity — to vigorously defend California as an alternative to Trump's world disorder.

Thank you to @harvardpress.bsky.social for displaying "Threat of Dissent" at the book exhibit & to my terrific editor @birdmaddgirl.bsky.social for sending me this photo. 🗃️

ICE and all the other goons are more and more looking like the German SA and by the looks of it also taking pages out of their playbook.
This is not new, which I feel like makes it even more scary
