As a millennial who did a lot of learning and growing here the last 15 years, it pains me deeply to concede this corner of the internet to fascists but it no longer feels like a hill worth dying on.

Im officially done here. Find me at the other place.

Many, many people woke up this morning feeling like the next 4 years are impossible or even unlivable.

A day to share some crisis support resources. 🧵

There simply is no way to undermine republican claims that KH is an “elite cultural liberal.” They will (a) lie, (b) move the goalposts, and/or (c) move onto something else. The lesson? Practice a politics of conviction. She should just be who and what she is.

What James Scott (RIP) had to say about scholarly reading practices deeply affected how I think about academia to this day:

But if you see your job or the institution's (ideal, often unrealized) potential as something other than helping learners become curious, thoughtful, and moral members of their communities, if you see your role as surveilling and disciplining, go somewhere else!

I fundamentally do not understand people who choose to work at universities and act like students are a problem.

Are they sometimes frustrating? Sure.
Do they have a lot to learn? Duh!

If you don't want to help them through the learning process, go work somewhere else!

[Dakota Park-Ozee, Ph.D. @deparkozee]

This isn't excusing that sometimes students are privileged or bigoted or just badly behaved. They're people so that definitely happens.

[Committee to Protect Journalists @pressfreedom]

At least 97 journalists have been killed since the start of the war, 92 of them Palestinian journalists killed in Israeli air strikes.

Those who remain are operating in impossible conditions.

They deserve this recognition.

They deserve protection.

They deserve our support.

Nothing will tell you how poorly something was built quite like trying to take it apart.

@smileitsjoy I mean if people want to ask invasive questions, they get the answers they damn well get.

Consistently disgusted at the ways our lives and the world are expected to proceed with business as usual in the face of horrors both personal and global.

So much solidarity with Palestinian Communication Scholars. Amplifying the thread created by them. The National Communication Association @NatComm silenced the voices of Palestinian scholars witnessing genocide. #CommSoWhite #DismantleColonialism #FreePalestine

What an honor! Thanks to @NatComm Political Communication Division and to the incomparable Rod Hart #NCA23

O'Hare is really a marvel. The lights! The art! The architecture! The dinosaurs!

BUT it is also the best proof we have the Catholics are correct. Lost souls wandering endlessly through purgatory on a quest for salvation. That or the midwestern version of The Hobbit.
