Just a reminder as we start the semester:

Graduate students & post-docs & adjuncts & staff are people w/lives & feelings & struggles. Treat them with respect. And, faculty, be an advocate, not part of the problem.

"i won't let Disney ruin our childhood memories"
1) Both are BY Disney, so...
2) Disney already messed up your childhood & helped shape your view of what is "right" in the world.
3) If Disney is what you have for childhood memories, then there are bigger problems.

Let's see:
✅"I'm not a racist" [insert racist comment here].

Since when did domestic violence murders become "simple?!" (yeah, I know, reptile cult, that's not my point).

Every disabled person I know has had this experience:

Were notified before drills. One day, I was sitting with another disabled kid watching a drill happen in college.

Jokingly I asked, “what happens if this were real.”

He turned to me and said “you know.”

We both knew.

"In addition to Alabama, only Minnesota has no law terminating parental rights in rape cases."

Good to see that MN is in such good company @GovTimWalz & @melissahortman... 🙄

Dragging the rest of us straight back to the 1950s, I swear.

@WorldProfessor @brownblaze I believe that this is code for the members of Indigenous nations (the Water Protectors) who are blocking various pipelines from being built (NoDAPL, the resistance in MN over L3 & L6, etc.).

@brownblaze It was updated with a news statement found here: https://t.co/IW4Yt7HdRh w/ the following:

To make things fun AND innovative, we'll be using a sorting hat.

All administrators are automatically in Slytherin.

[Associate Deans @ass_deans]

We are reorganizing into interdisciplinary schools. We are sorting faculty by salary similarity, in order to eliminate all pay disparities. You are now head of the $68,000/year salary school.

[Associate Deans @ass_deans]

I'm on the search committee for the new president! We will find the most qualified white man with good hair available at the salary we can pay.

Who didn't already know this? Apparently WaPo isn't following the right people on Twitter...

I compiled this summer reading list @nytimesbooks. “Think of it as a stepladder to antiracism, each step addressing a different stage of the journey toward destroying racism’s insidious hold on all of us.” These are the steps in HOW TO BE AN ANTIRACIST. https://t.co/uD9map1iYo
