In case there was any doubt about where big tech stands.

BREAKING: Here’s the 60 Minutes Segment Trump and CBS News Executives Don’t Want You to See Hours before it was set to air last night, CBS News executives pulled the segment, but Canada’s Global TV app received it prior to broadcast.

excellent! @jenniebatchelor.bsky.social + @chloewigstonsmith.bsky.social on their incredible exhibition, "Austen & Turner: A Country House Encounter" Bravo!! jasna.org/publications...

a few pics from the pop-up exhibition I hosted for my ENGL 416 students, "The Long Eighteenth Century: Artifacts & Archives" with thanks to @umdenglish.bsky.social for joining! www.instagram.com/p/DSGQ4suDS7Y/

😍We are rejoining Erasmus. Official announcement tomorrow😍 www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

This is actually a good example of why the customer model is wrong. I wouldn't have chosen poetry writing, but UNC made me take a class. And it absolutely made me become a much better writer, with an eye to concision and an ear now trained to the rhythm of words. I'm a better historian as a result.

Hey folks 👋 I'm the reporter who revealed immigration agents detained 170+ citizens this year My fellowship w/ProPublica has been incredible, but it wraps January. I'm looking for my next gig. Please reach out to share leads & opportunities! [email protected] www.propublica.org/people/nicol...

I do, too! 🥰

Love this idea SO MUCH

Inhumanity in new ways every day

Finishing up my undergrad 18th-c course on a high: Tuesday's pop-up exhibition, “The Long Eighteenth Century: Artifacts & Archives.” 1/3

As the little sister of three brothers, I am not the market for this scented candle.

My employer, Dartmouth College, today boasts it's 1st Ivy "to launch AI at an institutional scale." It is doing this by partnering--"more than a collaboration"--with Anthropic, a company that stole the books of many faculty, me included, which many of us are suing.

Big, BIG NEWS! Please come over and celebrate my very smart and sparkling friend's most excellent news! She sold a(nother!) book! Squee!!

what's the first week of December if not time for this timeless gem of joy? www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZqz...

The fact that TPUSA posted the entirely reasonable comments from the instructor here as coming from the “TRANS PROFESSOR” gives away the game. They’re not defending students, they’re targeting faculty — as always

"The perfect mug does not exist." The perfect mug:

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

Page One in Cincinnati: “.. I need to be able to look my grandkids in the eye and say I did not remain silent.” #ICE

Excellent new book alert! @lucindalucinda.bsky.social has published THE FIFTH PLAGUE: CATTLE, CONTAGION, & THE MEDICAL POSTHUMANITIES! Get it, read it now!

Honored to serve on Mayor-elect @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social Transition Committee on Technology. For too long, too many New Yorkers have been left behind. NYC deserves governance that centers affordability, equity, and the public good-looking forward to the work ahead. www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news...

My colleague Lucinda Cole’s new book!

Congrats to my forever colleague, Lucinda! I've gotten glimpses of this in development and it's great!

So happy to see #VetHist #CattlePlague gets its long overdue attention in the #humanities.

Excellent new book alert! Lucinda Cole's THE FIFTH PLAGUE: Cattle, Contagion, and the Medical Posthumanities! #C18L #medicalhumanities #animalstudies In her words... 1/2 link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

A trans teen in Iowa completed suicide after severe bullying by classmates and teachers. "Miles’ death came a day after a substitute teacher refused to use his preferred pronouns." It's the type of bullying @thefireorg.bsky.social and @aricohn.com support. www.thepinknews.com/2025/11/17/m...

I love my students so much “Hey hey, ho ho, you and the worm have got to go.”

“How do you negotiate with a partner who’s willing to actually destroy what we do well?” — Wesleyan University President @msroth.bsky.social in conversation with the leaders of Dartmouth and the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the @nytimes.com about Trump’s attack on #HigherEd.

Few things bug me more than higher ed leaders saying that we lost our mission and lost the trust of the public, when we have actually been the target of a decades-long smear campaign by the right wing that worked. The moment we’re losing our mission is right now, in capitulation.

I've got tix for Dec! can't wait

This was a GOOD DAY with @zugenia.bsky.social as we talked about our new books, wonder, wit, research, pedagogy, and friendship.

lmao the comeuppance 👨‍🍳👌

"In effect, the Supreme Court has outright told judges to do as they say, which is to follow precedent as the Court explained it in writing, and not as they do, which is to grant the Trump administration’s every request"

Still processing that an economic advisor to multiple administrations, business leaders, and top institutions was asking a known sex trafficker of minor age girls to be his wingman for attempting to coerce his academic mentee into a sexual relationship—years after he said that women aren’t as smart

"There are about a thousand of us." Yes, because the thing about girls is that they don't stay girls for very long. Which makes them disposable. And which means that men like Epstein need a huge supply.

just donated.

Never forget that just a week ago, Ross Douthat and the NYTimes were asking if women ruined the workplace.

"there are about a thousand of us"

holy shit: “Among the 2,000 UK adults surveyed, 85% were unaware that Britain forcibly transported more than 3 million Africans to the Caribbean, 89% did not know that Britain enslaved people in the Caribbean for more than 300 years” www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

I blame them as much, too.

Me: “We seethe over the betrayal by a supposedly democratic society that quickly averts its collective eyes and allows predators, mostly men, to get away with it and reinvent themselves right in front of our eyes as we’re punished if we speak out about our basic rights to survival and safety.”

Wow. Listen to this kid. Yes, a KID.

My dad died five weeks ago, so that AI commercial, for fake versions of our lost loved ones? Burn every data center to the ground.

LOOKSIE.

Book arts are never just books or arts. Incredible work.

academeblog.org/2025/11/13/t... My colleague has captured what is currently happening at my institution. I have found the chipper rhetoric announcing it particularly depressing.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.
