Given Indiana Jones’ track record of 1) harassment of women 2) misuse of university travel funds 3) lack of IRB clearance 4) not, apparently, ever teaching 5) misuse of RAs’ time And 6) untenurable record …he’s exactly the kind of prof who would be screaming about cancel culture.

Tenure file submitted!! I feel okay about it…

Nothing like starting the week by submitting an article for review! Now I just have to hope I make it to the end of the week with out it being desk rejected…

Tomorrow, from 2-3:30 Pacific/5-6:30 Eastern, we’re having a great (virtual) round table for #APSA2023 all about descriptive research! I’ll be chairing, and we’ve got so many smart and awesome folks contributing, like @mkguliford.bsky.social and @rebeccaeissler.bsky.social Join us!

I ain’t watching this thing, but I will follow along on here…

Such a nice feeling when all your “first classes” of the semester are done!

(Tone: deadpan) I’m shocked, shocked, I say…

The USPS does not lose money. It *costs* money. It’s a government service, not a business. Please stop judging it like it’s a struggling startup.

Still thinking about my first class yesterday, where only 3 of 23 had not previously taken a class with me… I’m really proud of the relationships I’ve built with these students…

Really trying to transition away from the bad place… hope to find other political scientists
