How do we teach American Gov’t these days? Everything is unprecedented & EXTREME. Skipping debates, ousting the Speaker for not shutting down the gov’t, hitting the campaign trail between criminal indictments, calling for a general to be executed—all in the last 2 weeks #wreckage

I know we're not supposed to be working during the strike but I couldn't resist giving this a quick edit pass

@PureKimminess Happy first day! I know your students are lucky to get to learn with you! Just don’t forget to get yourself a back to school treat - tradition is important ; )

"Wear a mask if you are around others at risk for severe COVID-19"

Let's be more clear here. Given how crowded New York is, in all practicality that means wear a mask in all public spaces.

A peek as to why we shouldn’t cut humanities education

[I hate it here. @anxiouscatmom]

"Are you going to wear a mask forever?"
Dude that's not even in the top 1000 things I'm bummed about doing forever. I have to wash my dishes forever. Brush my teeth forever. Do laundry forever. Wearing a respirator forever is nothing.

@UnlawfulEntries This (both the how it’s supposed to be/how it is and the memes) is literally how I’ve been teaching intro. 🤷🏻‍♀️ comes out a lot as well.

[Plague Poems @PlaguePoems]

I saw a headline which declared
“COVID or summer cold?
Without free tests,
many won’t know”
and it reminded me
of how years ago
the idea of cutting back on testing
to hide case numbers
behind a cloud of “won’t know”
was considered outrageous.

One way that @APSAtweets can address issues with the conference is to make access to the job portal free for the whole year.

Previously job portal access is tied to membership. Given ongoing issues the portal should be free and open to all.

APSA Latino Caucus withdraws from the annual conference in solidarity with @UNITEHERE11’s struggle despite plans to celebrate 25yr anniversary and will reimburse all fees. Strong statement from leaders. 👇🏼

DO NOT USE SYNTHETIC TEXT EXTRUDING MACHINES IN ANY SITUATION WHERE THE CONTENT MATTERS.
That absolutely includes health care. The idea that this is beneficial for people who we fail to provide adequate healthcare to is offensive.

Repulsive even before you see who's behind it
