@clubatomique 1922--Ending the imperial age and the rise of Modernism. Think the creation of a free Ireland, the start of Ghandi's work in India, the creation of an independent Egypt, creation of the USSR....Then on top of that the publication of Ulysses, The Wasteland, and Jacob's Room.

Had a rough week? Dad jokes always help, right? 😉

It’s so wonderful that Republicans prevented ballots from being counted early and then when they are losing complain loudly about how somebody prevented ballots from being counted early.
Fuck it. Let's do this. Let's talk philosophy's shit relationship with disability.
There is a very, very good reason why people with disabilities often do not disclose their disabilities to colleagues in the field of philosophy.
Appiah's recent piece is just part of it. (1/n)
I appreciate tags like #HighRiskCovid19, but let’s spare a thought to the fact that disabled and chronically ill folks are having to engage in GoFundMe pageantry to stay alive yet fucking again just to show people our lives are worth saving.
It’s seriously fucked up.
New on #MUnion! #MarquetteUniversity (who blocked me, a current student) have rewritten their policy on demonstrations to limit student and faculty protests, including employing police force to stop "unauthorized" demonstrations.

Proud to stand with my many theology colleagues who exercised our academic freedom, as experts in Catholic social thought, to support #MUnion#MarqU19 https://t.co/ywYQpDNM0b
94 years ago, a seeker was born to Garveyites in Nebraska. Farmboy. Good Son. Hoodlum. Convert. True Believer. Prophet. Master Teacher. Voice of a Lost/Found Nation in Exile. Omowale. Martyr. Resurrected Saint. Us Before All. By Any Means Necessary. Happy Birthday, #MalcolmX
Single-use disposable plastic has many essential uses (and some alternatives are not better environmentally). Disabled people need to be centred into these efforts to avoid the harms highlighted here. (oh and work with material scientists please)
@PresLovell and @DeanKimo still refuse to commit to a fair process. Instead, thy only promise to “stay in the lanes of federal law.” My experiences with Catholic theology and social justice is that what is “legal” often bears little resemblance to what is right and just. #MUnion
So it isn’t us thinking we’re superior or special. It’s simply trying to show women can have PhDs. That’s it.
The way it’s pissing off the Far Right, which just proves how necessary the campaign was, is just a delightful bonus!
