Censorship by @AAUP: yesterday the AAUP's "Academe" blog publised my entry (below) in support of divesting Israel bonds; today it was removed by AAUP. It's censorship complicit in genocide. @pal_legal @jvplive @AdalahJustice @paythewriter @prem_thakker @insidehighered @chronicle

Happy Labor Day! Being in a union is the work I am most proud of as capitalism tries to trample us all. Solidarity with workers everywhere.

On May 3, 2003, the White Mountains lost its "Old Man". It's been 19 years since the rock face fell in Franconia Notch, but we all have memories of family road trips, and annual visits to the Old Man of the Mountain. Here's to a true icon! #WhiteMountains 📷: Cannon Mountain

“There was no formal announcement. Instead, a shout rose up from somewhere on the floor: “We did it! We won!” Made me cry. Capitalism beats people down, exhausts, never stops taking. And sometimes the people beat back. Congrats @Shut_downAmazon & workers nytimes.com/2022/04/02/bus…

If your zoom background is blurred, you can slowly pound your head against the wall during a meeting and it just looks like you’re nodding. #ProTip

“I have never seen anything like it,” he said of the speed and intensity of the fire, which consumed football fields of land in mere seconds. “This was a horrific event.” **We have seen just like it and there is only more to come.** theguardian.com/us-news/2021/d…

Testing is still poorly done and a patchwork system. Having it run through private insurance is a huge failure and, of course, excludes millions. Free tests, full stop, available at any pharmacy, grocery, or corner store.

“This wasn’t Paul weekend. His genoese didn’t go well, and he should have known it.” When I’m having a bad day I’m going to pretend Mary Berry is narrating my life like I’m an episode of Bake Off, and have made shitty cake. #GBBO

Between 2015 & 2020, 2/3rds of the area where the giant sequoia groves grow burned… while only a 1/4 of that region burned during the century before. The Castle fire was responsible for killing up to 10,600 large sequoias – 42% of the trees in its path. theguardian.com/us-news/2021/s…
