Worth the read
"we shall have all American industry controlled by a dozen corporations and run perhaps by a hundred men. Put plainly, we are steering a steady course toward economic oligarchy, if we are not there already. Clearly this calls for a reappraisal of values." FDR, 1933
I get the outrage. I’m enraged. But there’s nothing special about professors. Brutalizing anyone —a department chair, a 5y/o in Gaza, a protesting student, a houseless person— should be met with the same response, the same shock, pain, and anger. These lives are of equal value.
A huge THANK YOU to all the Iowa meteorologists today who have been working around the clock to keep us safe. #iawx
The second tornado warning is over. Novelty has thoroughly worn off.
Aaaaaand…another tornado warning. Ugh. Back to the basement.
We got the all-clear. The next town over got hit, but we were spared. Not fun.
The worst feature of social media is not bots or spam or algorithmic manipulation of attention. It's the obliteration of the distinction between "Blowing off steam talking with friends" and "Making a public statement to the entire world."
A whole lot of people who've spent years calling the younger generation "snowflakes" now apparently want armed guys in riot gear to protect them from teenagers sitting peacefully on the ground

I count three different colleges advertising on the outfield walls. That seems…high.

In case others need an example of doing the right thing as an educator (and I believe they do), here you go—someone who actually demonstrates care and concern for students by speaking out
Incredibly brave testimony from IU Associate Dean for Graduate Education Elizabeth Dunn: Whitten's repression has broken "the fundamental link between us and our students." "There's a high likelihood I'll be fired today."
"we shall have all American industry controlled by a dozen corporations and run perhaps by a hundred men. Put plainly, we are steering a steady course toward economic oligarchy, if we are not there already. Clearly this calls for a reappraisal of values." FDR, 1933
I get the outrage. I’m enraged. But there’s nothing special about professors. Brutalizing anyone —a department chair, a 5y/o in Gaza, a protesting student, a houseless person— should be met with the same response, the same shock, pain, and anger. These lives are of equal value.
