"The youth are no longer asking. They are demanding. They are putting their own bodies on the line; they are walking into the water." A gorgeous & forceful exploration of Exodus & the campus protests from @hannahpgold my former student & forever teacher thebaffler.com/latest/parting…
As I watch in horror from NC, my heart goes out to my students, colleagues, and friends at Dartmouth and the unconscionable force from riot police last night. Annelise Orleck is a legend. She was out there in the vanguard, protecting her students.

Happy independent bookstore day! Coincidence that I went to the local indie store today and came across my own book, nestled between RuPaul and Marilynne Robinson.
This issue of the Journal of Interdisciplinary History has articles based on contributions to my retirement symposium: direct.mit.edu/jinh/issue/54/3
I wrote a thing on nonhuman agency for a special issue in honor of @HRitvo. Come meet some scholarly personae: The Thinker! The Product of One's Environment! The Distributor! The Resistance! The Watchful World! direct.mit.edu/jinh/article-a…
I’m horrified by the events at NYU and Columbia. The naked, fluorescent hypocrisy of institutions that have spent the last four years bleating about anti-racism and police reform sending in cops in riot gear to round up students the moment it’s convenient is appalling. 1/
Sometimes I'm indecisive about whether I am, in fact, indecisive.
Here we go: this is the first Brood XIX cicada I've seen that is not a nymph. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC, US inaturalist.org/observations/2… #BroodXIX #Cicadas2024
Watching the live feed of the total eclipse stream and the comments are yo-yoing wildly between Jesus and Jujutsu Kaisen.
Snakes! Secrets! Science! History! What else could you want. Thanks for sharing your work with us, @wbarlowrobles
The latest review of Natural Things @NewWorldNature1 @annatoledano @HistorianDiary @Zoe_Sadokierski is out! Happy to spread the good news of the half-eaten squid tentacles out there. And I think we'd all take "at times gross" as a compliment.
So looking forward to this! A first act of sirens, raccoons, and snakes, followed by dodos, sawfishes, and zebras.

"After [Bryan] Stevenson surveyed the global range of memorial architecture, he realized that America needed language and story. Art was useful, too, as a handmaiden to the urgent problem of narrative." -- @dstfelix via @NewYorker newyorker.com/magazine/2024/…
I'm living for my book alerts that are not really my book alerts.
I showed my 3 year old the video. She said it's not the princess.
Sharing news of my forthcoming impressionistic biography that paints Harriet Tubman -- the girl, teen, woman, champion, and caretaker in all of her humanity and alongside other Black holy women.
My guess is that Kate Middleton is probably just a PhD student studying for generals. I mean where was the international outcry for me when I vanished for four months. She'll emerge, ready to talk the long exception and object-oriented ontology.

My employer, @Columbia, decided in the name of 'safety' to lock us faculty out while inviting NYPD police to occupy campus. With that, Columbia achieved the end goal of managerial education (what some call the neoliberal university), a university without professors.

@socialistdogmom It's almost like they know where this is heading.
should we be concerned that the professors who are taking on the greatest risk of being beaten and arrested seem to be mostly historians
Reviewing job applicant: *sees Ivy League degree conferred in 2024, arrest record coming up blank* Care to explain the gap on your resume?
Feeling feelings about these humanities and social science professors standing with their students and facing police brutalization along with them at their places of work. You're good ones in a bad, bad world. Get cops off campuses!
@bcoolsaet @NatureClimate The language is also quite concerning, no signs of colonialism, racisms or other word used by the Global south scholars experts on the topic to define injustice and justice.
I’m a Dartmouth professor. Students were holding a genuinely peaceful, inclusive protest. Guess this guy is the new faculty.
That Columbia can say “student safety is our top priority” with a straight face, as students are thrown to the ground, reportedly tear-gassed, and penned in by police…bone-chilling, grotesque
as a UCLA, Princeton, and Barnard grad who was going to give a keynote at Columbia today and just turned down a fellowship from UT Austin, I am frankly disgusted by very specific individuals at each of these illustrious institutions
As a longtime adjunct, I'm pretty cynical about higher ed. And yet even I'm surprised by the apparent nationwide agreement that the best way to address nonviolent anti-war protests is to call in (often hyper-militarized) local police forces. It's unhinged.
I’ve been in Philadelphia on the trail of the Rev. Griffith Hughes, last Welsh-speaking priest in North America, at St. David’s, Radnor, where the present-day congregation gave me a warm welcome. He then went to Barbados and wrote the natural history for which he is remembered.
Personally if I’m getting body slammed on my college campus by cops I’m going to yell out “I am alienated from my labor and my fellow man and condemn the goons of capital” but not everyone is on my level.
With respect to my favorite canadian bookstore with whom I have a parasocial relationship: no, this is too fukcd up
I was lucky to be at Brandeis during Noelle McAfee’s visiting year there. My brain grew three sizes from her continental feminism class — Irigaray is like a polished stone I carry in my pocket — but I remember being awed by her clarity and rigor. Still am.

Will you continue to request statements on “Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion” while arresting those who genuinely uphold these values?
