I no longer have the patience to deal with faculty who are dismissive of me because I'm "just staff." Especially when that attitude makes doing my job harder. Y'all gonna get the same energy you give me from now on. And don't come crying when shit goes sideways.

@RachelBitecofer I finally got down to Florida to see family after 2 yrs and my grandmother had a stroke. Because of increased COVID restrictions she can only have 1 visitor/day so we were agonizing over who would be the person to go and make medical decisions. @GovRonDeSantis is a monster.

First day working back on campus. I really missed being here.

Had to get dressed up for work today. Recording commencement videos for the Spring semester.

IF THE SALARY IS COMPETITIVE WHY WON'T YOU SHOW IT?

Tell me again how this can be "reformed" ?

Amazing that national guard can be deployed to police communities of color in advance of a jury verdict but not to protect the Capitol in advance of an insurrection for which there was advance notice.

Chauvin is the 7th on-duty cop to be convicted of murder since 2005, out of around 15,000 police killings in that time.

[Natasha Rothwell @natasharothwell]

Just so we're clear: this verdict isn't a pacifier for the movement, it's gasoline. Proceed accordingly.

Thanks to everyone who has been working in the public space through the pandemic and keeping the world going for us all. You have our gratitude!

Rep. @AOC on the Green New Deal:

"It's not a messaging bill. People's right to housing is not a messaging bill. People's guarantee to healthcare is not a messaging bill. People's ability to drink clean water is not a message, it is an action that we have to commit to."

We can’t allow the current GOP to retake Congress in 2022

"What are DEI workers if not the ornamental hermits of academia?"

Out of context quotes from angry rants with fellow DEI workers on my campus.

@portmanjeaux have you seen this?

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Museums across the U.S. are reckoning with their collections of the remains of enslaved people and questions of repatriation. What the Smithsonian decides to do could represent a historic tipping point. https://t.co/KD5jBLo48V

The last few months have made me question my relationship to mental health, professionalism, masculinity, and the toxicity of capitalism/grind culture. I finally started being honest with friends about where I'm at and it has been lifechanging.
