Today’s the day when I get to explain to our new EA that Ghislaine Maxwell’s father is the reason an academic journals market exists, thus in some way the reason we have jobs. Let’s see how this goes…

[MLA News @MLAnews]

Support legislation that would require institutions to reach a 75% tenure-track workforce to receive federal funding. Read the MLA statement and contact Senator Patty Murray, chair of the drafting committee, to advocate for this law. https://t.co/ISyHGD4SeA

Very cool to see our outstanding book Female Husbands brought into the discourse this thoughtfully.

For @guardian, I wrote about historical trans--and, in particular, non-binary--identities in a new book by @activisthistory, conservatives' terrible arguments about trans people, why it matters how we talk about historical figures, and more: https://t.co/8ggHG7pZB0

Totally fascinated by this (from 1990!)

I really appreciate this paper reporting a negative result in philosophy. I wonder what it would be like if publications like this were more common. https://t.co/Lb3cv30df7

@oupusaguild What's the best way to get that message to them?

[Chris Robinson @publishingchris]

@lilneuffy Lol totally! So many mixed feelings!

[Chris Robinson @publishingchris]

@Hauske Absolutely. I was told that, I was given healthy precautions, and I still did it. I loved the education. The things that left me unsettled and angry are structural, even beyond (though not excluding) U of C admin. I'm glad AHP's piece captures some of that nuance.
