The destruction is the point.

From Ukraine to Maine, defenders of democracy are standing up and speaking out. And the people are responding. My write-up on the state of the resistance: https://buff.ly/3ETGLVZ

New paper in @herdjournal.bsky.social with Marion Heron & @sallybaker.bsky.social. We explore the role (or lack thereof) of academic oracy (academic speaking and listening) in enabling education / pathways in Australia. OPEN ACCESS:

$200 million taxpayer dollars spent on “tell me I’m pretty” ads to stroke his own ego, while he fires people to “save money.” Sociopathic.

I don't believe in Hell, but if I did I would die happy knowing there was a special seating section for anyone currently railing against "the sin of empathy," and every one of those seats is made with hot rusty barbs

Would a little more epistemological humility help Higher Education in the current climate? A simple idea with a complicated name. Discussed in my recent books: How to Mend a University. Reclaiming the Teaching Discourse in Higher Education. Just a thought 🙂

This is what true politicization of the DoJ looks like.

Released today!

Reclaiming the Teaching Discourse in Higher Education Just got my copy from the publishers. Hope you find some interesting ideas in the chapters 🙂

I did an event in IN a few weeks ago where I said that on 1/6/21 Mike Pence saved the country (for now) by being one of very very few who stood by his principles under maximum threat.

Enabling education is a public good, a true legacy of Whitlam-era policies that assert that higher education is for everyone. Emma Hamilton, Matthew Bunn, Kieran Balloo and Sally Baker discuss FEE-FREE Uni Ready. loom.ly/NkzLxm0

It was never about “free speech.”

The reality behind the whole 51st state thing.

Snowdrops in the rain yesterday afternoon 🌱

Didn't we already do this under Trump 1.0? I'm so sick of people treating farmers with kid gloves like they're grenades - don't say CLIMATE, or they'll blow!! Time to pull up your trousers and grow the fuck up, farmers. Climate change is real and Earth's resources are finite and precious. 🌱

Time to put the trash in the bin.

If you see this, post your favorite flower! (I can't actually pick one, but here's "a" favorite) 🌱🌷

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps. The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years. History is repeating. Pay attention.

And so it begins: Bakersfield, CA sees massive drop off in field workers as ICE agents rounded up suspected immigrants, resulting in acres of oranges left unpicked in the California sun during the most active period of the season. “Economic devastation” newrepublic.com/post/190555/...

In case you’re wondering.
