Listen to me talk on Friday! #funfact @dianekolin.bsky.social is the best human

Bro they lobotomized your aunt

Hello republican, May I introduce you to Pieter van den Toorn? You guys will really hit it off…

"I shouldn’t have to dredge up a passage from the Babylonian Talmud in order to prove that neurodivergent people are not moral defectives and that we deserve to have the support we need." Check out my piece on neurodivergence, MAHA, and moral stigma in @nursingclio.bsky.social:

Please take a couple of minutes to read this piece. It's important. "We have ignored the perspectives, stories & voices of disabled people for so long that their actual needs, feelings and experiences are hardly acknowledged."

i got a musicology degree which i guess you could quibble about the usefulness of but people are going to be denied education in STEM, in medicine, in law, etc. bc of lack of funding. There's just not going to be a way if the bottom of the job market goes out again

Since it apparently needs to be said: As a Jew who works on a university campus, I am safest in a country that protects academic freedom and liberal values of due process of law. Anyone who supports extrajudicial detention of students for "wrong" ideological opinions is not doing it for my safety.

It's hardly the worst part here, but the "Shalom" here, by an administration dominated by non-Jews, is getting to me. If Jews do not speak up against this, our tradition is going to be deeply harmed by allowing it to be exploited this way.

Posting this again, in case anyone thinks deportation has any place in any conversation about Jewish safety. It's an absolute disgrace to see universities cooperating with this kind of abomination.

Or hear me out… STOP EQUATING AUTISM WITH GETTING MEASLES *nd rage activated*

So very this this morning. There may be a few more wrong notes than usual today… oopsies ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

🔥 Meirav Solomon KILLS IT, placing responsibility for antisemitism exactly where it belongs: "it is not student protesters, but the bloody legacy of Pittsburgh and Poway, Charlottesville and the Capitol riots... Trump has highlighted and platformed neo-Nazis and white supremacists."

"But humanities PhDs aren't worth anything in industry..." WE TEACH EVERY SINGLE GEN ED CLASS IN LIBERAL ARTS. PAY US LIKE WE'RE THE FOUNDATION OF THE INSTITUTION, BECAUSE WE LITERALLY ARE.

I’m saving this segment for the next time I teach Rite of Spring. What I want to know is the backstory of the researcher/writer who came up with that tangent.

seeing lots of sad posts from scholars—mostly scientists, rn—whose talks have been canceled & that sucks, a lot, bc fascism sucks but also? come off perceived prestige find a local library, bar, elks club. do your talk. put it on zoom.

Fascinating to see “AI” methodologies being used in reporting as a way of sifting through mass data sets put out by Sen. Cruz a few weeks ago:

Dear artists, comedians, and satirists: None of us can do the work we're doing without y'all helping to keep us sane. Please keep bringing the laughter amidst the pain. I am so grateful to you.

It is one thing to see the insane numbers of government jobs being cut. It's another thing to read the testimonies of civil servants who were axed. Check this out. And if you've been knifed in the back, add your story: trumpcostsamerica.com

I’m sorry but life is actually a group project please act accordingly

blocking everyone who calls the Kennedy center thing “a distraction.” If you can’t realize that this kind of thing impacts real people’s lives as much as anything else going on, like I don’t even know what to say.

Good news! Turns out I’m an influencer and didn’t even know it 🎉
