How to Do Things with Condiments - JL Austin

BREAKING: JUSTICE DEPARTMENT EATS A LOSS IN 'SANDWICH GUY' CASE AS JURORS FIND DEFENDANT NOT GUILTY www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

At least this came out *before* next week’s lecture on racism and technology…

OH MY GOD. FFS. Not me jokingly explaining phrenology to my students this morning like it was a relic of the past 🤦🏾‍♀️

And people think the humanities are a waste of time 🙄

Winner.

Maybe I should have gone to law school.

The downstream effect of all the GLP-1 hysteria is that I now know what a compounding pharmacy is and my vet didn’t have to explain that to me when discussing a new med for my dog.

This person took this when they called the race

“I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life”

Africana Studies is going to have one hell of an update to their "what our majors have done with their degree after graduation" page.

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

Mary Sheffield will become the first woman elected mayor of Detroit, CNN projects. Follow live updates. https://cnn.it/4oRiL7z

I just wish Dick Cheney could have lived to see this.

Importantly, Africana Studies is not just about the continent. The implication is that global Black history and life is not worthy of serious study.

New, from me: DHS says immigration enforcement employees like ICE are facing unprecedented threats and 1000% increase in assaults. But the data does not add up. Look at the details, and we see state agents using excessive force, and then lying about it. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/whos-threa...

evergreen post

Revising my lecture on the connections between the uprisings of the 1960s and activism today and once again reminded both that nothing has changed and that RFK, Jr. is has strayed so so so SO far from his father’s legacy.

My five year old was paging through the Observer when he asked me gravely, “daddy, what does ‘from the windows, to the walls’ mean?” When I told him, “till all skeet-skeet, motherfucker!,” he started crying. #a2council

CAMPUS VISIT WITH THE VAMPIRE TEACHING DEMO WITH THE VAMPIRE SIT-DOWN WITH THE DEAN WITH THE VAMPIRE APOLOGETIC EMAIL THAT THE SEARCH WAS CANCELED WITH THE VAMPIRE

This is awful awful news. Lex’s writing at Teen Vogue has always been critical and insightful.

Explaining that this person is willfully misusing “blockbusting” is going about as well as you would expect. Charming.

I am once again explaining to a NIMBY that one of the wealthiest and most desirable neighborhoods in Ann Arbor is not being “block busted” if we change the zoning to allow duplexes and triplexes. People’s devotion to exclusionary zoning (and lies) is astonishing.

If Norman Rockwell were alive today, he would be devastated to see that his own work has been marshalled for the cause of persecution toward immigrant communities and people of color. The Rockwell family 🧵

“The Problem We All Live With” (1964)

I gotta be real, I did not suspect we would reach "roving mobs of white folks chanting "shame" at ICE" within 9 months, and it really feels like a sign of how much more horrifying it must be on the ground than those of us not there can even imagine.

This is the extent of my decorating this year. I still want trick or treaters.

Is this even parody though?

A person I interviewed for this story told me her 8th grader recently read Night by Elie Wiesel in school and observed “it’s sort of like what’s happening here right now” in case you’re wondering how things are going for Chicago’s kids.

Just got ID’d while purchasing vanilla extract at Trader Joe’s.

From the stalled grant reviews & award dispersal, to FAFSA & financial aid issues, & SNAP running dry, this article provides a good overview of how the shutdown is squeezing higher ed institutions’ finances that can impact everyone on campus.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

This is an obvious lie

NEW: Trump has announced that the US will admit the lowest level of refugees ever at 7,500 in FY 2026. The US will only be admitting as refugees White people from South Africa and "victims of illegal or unjust discrimination," which leaked memos suggest means far-right Europeans.

I will also probably be conveniently out of town.

This is a remarkable claim. I think I can speak for historians as a group when I say that even those who take a top-down approach welcome with open arms scholarship that incorporates the perspectives of marginalized groups. How in the world is it "feckless" to seek to incorporate such voices?/12

I had to go to the NY Post website to confirm that this Onion headline was real.

Food bank director: “for every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There’s no way we can meet that gap.”

Food banks won’t turn down your food donations but if all possible, donate money. They have bargaining power and can make bigger purchases.

We need a complete ban on Stanford dropout tech founders until we can figure out what’s happening.

The corrupting food in question.

Every one deserves to eat. It’s that simple.

Very cool to see the Essential Poems on display at the event today at @bgsqd.bsky.social. Incredible way to end the Lesbian Lives conference weekend!

Idk, guys, I think we've seen this before....

The way this could be about so many different things

This whole article is fabulously smart, but this line, in particular, is its crowning glory.

*endless screaming*
