I don’t believe in hero worship but I will fan girl all day long. Today I got have a convo with with Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, Beth Patin, and Seeta Peña Gangadharan on epistemic justice. Patricia Hill Collins asked a question. I’m just going to lay down bc the day can’t get any better.
Thank you! Nikki Usher shepherded the whole issue through masterfully, I think.
Pleased to share "The Problem with “Most People”: Racism and Ableism in U.S. COVID-19 Public Health Communication. Honored to be part of this issue on media policy & robust democracy. t.co/a66oRexBg2
Having a teenage daughter means knitting/sewing/ordering clothes tailored to your exact size, in your perfect colors, and never seeing those clothes again. Except in the laundry.
“It's easy to say we're building things for humanity without the specificity of which humans.”
the straight-up fascism happening in Florida attempts to erase that it was always diverse, always queer and trans, always Black and brown, always full of migrants. that's why we did a whole package about it in November, talking to the young organizers trying to protect each other
That other place is a whole toxic mess. Not nearly as much engagement over here (still haven’t moved my follow list over) but it feels a whole lot less toxic and manufactured.
Is the "merit-based society" in the room with us now
Neighbors think there will be snow this year. I think I’m going to start casting on a Peace Fleece cardigan.
“even mild COVID-19 infections can shrink the brain” this seems fine
So excited to build my spring seminar on interpretivist methods. Anyone have readings or books you love (for PhD students)?
Planning my post-grading movie playlist. I can almost taste the popcorn. Feel the heated blankets…soooooon…
Best editorial I have read on this topic. From our students! www.thecrimson.com/article/2023...
So angry about this. UW system head and president agree to cut 43 DEI positions, freeze new ones for 3 years, end a program to recruit minority faculty -- even though lawmakers don't have the votes to mandate it.
Biggest profile in cowardice on this issue in the last 3 years.
Under cover of the busy end of the semester, American University's leadership announced a decision to hire the Huron Consulting Group, which has brought disastrous 'restructuring' to the New School, Marymount Univ, West Virginia Univ, and elsewhere. AAUP statement to come. Please share widely.
No, next semester's syllabus is not available.
There is a small croissant-shaped animal on the floor in the corner of my room who has decided that she no longer prefers her crate at night. She is decidedly NOT looking at me as I move about.
Thinking about asking some people to talk with me about epistemic justice and community.
Today I’m giving thanks for the other cooks in the house.
Happy Thanksgiving party people.
Tiniest is home sick today, so I put on The Price is Right. He is shocked at the price of things. Shocked.

They cut NYPD's budget too, right?
Right?
Fun fact: NYC libraries didn't use to be open on Sundays. Jews petitioned City Hall to open the libraries on Sundays because Saturday was Shabbes, and observant Jews who worked during the week had difficulty using the library.
This looks really interesting! Can’t wait to read! Thanks. 😊
No hashtags around these parts, huh?
