Seeing people nonchalantly post stuff like makes me feel like I'm going crazy honestly.

“‘Bending the knee’ has become the most popular Washington exercise because obsequiousness promises to improve the health of your bottom line. Whether you’re a trustee…or CEO…you are now engaged in servility cross-training.” — Wesleyan University President @msroth.bsky.social #HigherEd #AcademicSky

Academia was never supposed to run like this - competitive, precarious, racing to produce and accumulate. Many researchers are trying to identify solutions, and we need to work together to do so. #AcademicSky

It is not "attribution and sourcing" to generate post-hoc citations that have not been read and did not inform the student's writing. Those should be regarded as fraudulent: artifacts testifying to human actions and thought that did not occur. www.theverge.com/news/760508/...

"In our view, America’s leadership in science and innovation depends on independent thinking and open competition for excellence... Therefore, with respect, we cannot support the proposed approach to addressing the issues facing higher education.” #AcademicSky www.nbcnews.com/news/educati...

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Currently listening to Fang Si-Chi's First Love Paradise. It's masterfully done in how deeply uncomfortable it makes you feel at times. It's so beautiful written though which only adds to the sense of horror and at times disgust. Disgust at men, (internalized) misogyny, and the system. #booksky

"No hate! No fear! Immigrants are welcome here"

Currently reading A Perfect Day to be Alone and I definitely lean more genre than litfic, so sometimes I read litfic and wonder "what even is the plot here?" That being said, I'm enjoying the book. Just like, I'm 52% through it and wondering where are we going with this? #booksky

I have to go to the dentist on Tuesday (and the 17th) and I just....oh gods. I have a massive phobia of the dentist and having depression mode dental hygiene practices doesn't help. But I'm pretty sure I have a cavity and I need a cleaning. This era of my life I'm putting my dental health first.

If you are on the academic job market this year, I think it's worth reading this post + consider inquiring about this at places you interview. Schools that sign this "compact" will be–by nature of what they will now be exposed to–a very different place from the place you applied to. #AcademicSky

Would you agree to FORMALLY SURVEY THE IDEOLOGIES OF FACULTY IN EVERY DEPARTMENT OF YOUR COLLEGE, and to "transform or abolish" any that "belittle" "conservative ideas"? That's what Trump's "Compact for Academic Excellence." demands. #edusky #academicsky www.washingtonexaminer.com/wp-content/u...

As a fellow Cal State faculty member who has been informed that our *personal information* may have been shared with the EEOC over the same phony allegations, I want to say ⚡️I 100% SUPPORT Newsom’s plan to instantly deny state support to any school joining this authoritarian ‘compact’⚡️ #AcademicSky

Even a passing knowledge of Black history will make clear that not only was this level of destruction possible, it was inevitable. “Did you know they’d shut down US AID?” I mean these are the same people who closed all public schools in a county rather than desegregate. Yes. Yes I did.

the amount of raw, unadulterated fear that many Americans have of even small cities is never going to stop being darkly hilarious to me

Charlie Kirk: Hero of ‘Civil Discourse’ or Fount of Division? Pointing to the slain activist’s inflammatory statements about minority groups, some are pushing back—at their own peril—against the right’s framing of him as an emblem of quality discourse. https://bit.ly/42clCiM #EDUSky #AcademicSky

On Wednesday, October 1, listen to @joshpasek.com, @umich.edu, and David Rabben, @utaustin.bsky.social discuss how current political pressures are undermining academic freedom and what boards need to do to protect it. #academicsky @utaustinaaup.bsky.social agb.org/events/webin...

My husband signed up for an online Finnish class that's actually taught by my professor! I'm so excited for him!

Ive seen LLMs pushed a lot to fellow #adhd students and scholarship to "help" them with things like detail work and structuring work. Ive also seen many punished for trusting this offer of help too. Here's what to use instead: #academicsky

I wrote about the firing of @karenattiah.bsky.social from the @washingtonpost.com, the expulsion of two Black college students in Texas, and the dangerous precedent that is being set up around free speech and academic freedom in the U.S. for @thebarbedwire.com thebarbedwire.com/2025/09/26/f...

Framing the dismantling of U.S. democracy and academic freedom as an opportunity for Europe to “attract talent” feels wrong. A threat to academic freedom anywhere is not an opportunity elsewhere. By definition, it’s a threat to us all.

I missed a class today. The stress of the world was too much and I just wanted to sleep off how horrible I felt. But now that I have, I'm ready to hit it hard tomorrow, this weekend, and the next month!

The U of M is allowing Tuning Point to host an event on campus just days after shots were reported on campus. What the fuck U of M? Even ignoring that, why is my uni holding hands with this bullshit when conservatives are attacking universities nationwide? I have never felt more unsafe.

Starting The Rainfall Market by You Yeong-Gwang. Very excited for this one! He "wishes for all readers to find healing and courage through it so that they may go out and discover their own happiness." Just promising to be delightful! #booksky

I just finished Hunchback by Saou Ichikawa and it was a stark reminder of how much the world needs to improve their inclusivity. Why AREN'T more degrees offered online and more jobs remote? Covid showed us these things are possible, but we ignored it in favor of power existing structures.

I am definitely foreswunk. #writerslife

This morning I felt very "I cannot leave the house for fear" but I'd told myself I wouldn't miss a single day of the entire first month of school (which I attend 5 days/week oof). And I had a great day. But now I feel really anxious and paranoid. And I KNOW it's because I pushed myself a little 1/?

I have 2 classes and a meeting today followed by therapy. It's just going to be such a long day. On the bright side, even changing gears, I'll be able to get into all the classes I want next semester.

2/2 But for communities like Japanese Americans, who have fought for decades to have the truth of their incarceration recognized, this development raises troubling questions. Who decides what version of history is “patriotic”? What happens when telling the truth about injustice is deemed “negative”?

As I learn Finnish, I am relaying info to my husband. Which is why I ended up explaining the infinitive form of verbs and regular versus irregular verbs today. I don't think he quite got it. He understands formal languages and their grammar well being in CS, just not natural ones. And I'm no coder.

I've gotten a lot done today, but there's still so much to do 😭 I think I'll break for 35 minutes and then hit the books again. That should help renew me after watching a lecture.
