I'm reading memos and letters to the university community from presidents who are implementing draconian budget cuts this year (for a project I'm working on) and good god the amount of obfuscatory and weasel-wordy business-speak in these things is making me grind my teeth into dust

I keep thinking about the higher ed stuff in Project 2025. One thing that keeps coming back to me is the apparent move re-define the age of majority for education and reposition traditional-aged college students as children and open a path for Moms For Liberty types to sue over the curriculum.

You see this at the University level constantly; they claim not to have money to fund programs that might actually help students but there’s always $100m for the absolute dumbest shit you’ve ever heard of and when it inevitably fails they’re like welp better close the classics department

I would like to send a special fuck you to the Texas Rangers - who made a conscious decision to be the only MLB team not to have a pride night celebration, and who changed their website to say "straight Texas" during pride month, and who the Oriole's beat 11-2 last night. On our #Pride Night.

Confession: I haven't watched a presidential debate for about a decade. I go on social media and read what people are saying/livetweeting about what the candidates are saying, and it's just enough distance to make the whole thing bearable. I don't see this changing.

Not that there weren't reasons to run against the court before, but "The justices who have taking a lot of bribes says it's okay to bribe elected officials" seems like the kind of thing that an average voter can both understand and get mad about

New blooms on Tuesday, June 25, 2024, captured before it rained and turned all the petals into beautifully colored translucent mush. Prom King, Wilson Spider, Chaleur, and Nona's Garnet Spider. You can see why the spiders are called spiders!

Old saying about perennials: "The first year they sleep, the second year they creep, and the third year they leap" Kansas Kitten could still bloom this summer (depending on where you live) and the other may be putting all its energy into developing a good root system. 😁

The fact that a second Trump administration is even a POSSIBILITY is such a tremendous failure on the part of every segment of our political elites. He could have been impeached, convicted, and permanently excluded on the very day. He could have been arrested the second he left office. Etc., etc.

Tonight, I finally put my things in the medicine cabinet in the en suite bathroom my soon-to-be ex-husband used. For 3 months, I've just laid my stuff all over the counter, couldn't put it in the cabinet itself. It felt so personal...and final. Even harder than repainting his office.

Mainstream coverage of academia this year was all about "wokeness," AI, and accusations of anti-semitism re: Palestine protests, but this is the real story underlying all else. Most people outside of academia have no idea the extent to which higher ed is contracting and crumbling.

When my dog Moses died two years ago, I planted this daylily in the spot where he liked to lay and watch me deadhead. It bloomed this morning, so he's on my mind. Here's Moses and his fire. 🌱

I love two types of books: historical fiction and books about time. And I love movies/TV that are historical dramas or science fiction-y. Which is why I loved this adaptation of Kate Atkinson's LIFE AFTER LIFE. It's the epicenter of my Venn diagram.

Grad school warps our sense of what a day's work looks like, feels like. Which is why, IF we get a FT teaching gig, we often work like grad students. I did...until I hit 50, and my body said, "No more."
