(Should not be a) hot take: Research is part of the tasks academics are required to undertake for their jobs, so their employers should provide the resources to perform these essential job functions.

mornin'

Back to back shows at JT Soar this weekend! That means I got clips! Don’t have anything from Vehemence but Gender is the Bastard brought that thick harsh vibe.

Confirmed: Vehemence is a vibe.

Noise only becomes unsettling and unwanted when you grow into your learned inhibitions as an adult. Making noise is liberating and the children know this best because they don’t give a fuck what anybody else thinks, especially their parents lol

We are the brothers of the spies who weren’t shagadelic

🚨 Tufts grad union stewards made a zine! It's called "How to Spot Red Flags in Any Lab" and is designed to help fellow grads feel less gaslit and more empowered to demand the dignity and respect they deserve. You can read and download it here: link.seiu509.org/AHCzine

This shouldn't be a news story when there are professors who refuse to use online calendars or email people properly.

He’s not wrong!

Copies of the @lsriuk.bsky.social I helped write have arrived! #LearningSciences folks, we specifically wrote this to act as a classroom text for preservice teachers so they can bring LS into their classrooms. Consider it for your syllabus! www.routledge.com/Introducing-...

Careful, there may be a fish in one of these.

An autistic man has stated that generative AI is a valuable and worthwhile tool which actually helps accessibility, despite it actually being the bane of his fucking life, reports have confirmed.

TONIGHT!!!

I love Bluesky's even mixture of Gen X liberals and furries. Either half is telling stuff to the other half that makes them react like Steve Harvey on Family Feud

Obama, the most college professor to ever politics, isn’t complaining about politicians. He’s creating more permission structure for politicians to ignore activist pressure.

It's official- I'm doing way too much at the moment. So if you are someone who is waiting for one of the things I am doing, I apologize in advance when it inevitably sucks.

Me: hi I’d like one box of Kleenex for my living room Kleenex: can do, boss. You want the box to have a hideous design on it? Me: what,? No. Kleenex: one fugly box comin up

Pals! It’s #GiveNOLA Day! I’m raising $$$ for the kid-DJs of Be Loud Studios! My goal: 100 unique donors (they’ll win EXTRA money!)! Donate as little as 10 USD if you have the will & want to support kids! Bonus: A kid-DJ may call you during their thank-a-thon today! www.givenola.org/story/f0tbbf

I'm in this post and I don't like it

Today's listening: Lucy Liyou- Mr Cobra First true album of the year contender I've heard in 2026. Such a detailed and deeply personal journey in this one. It;s heartbreaking, but its not to be missed. lucyliyou.bandcamp.com/album/mr-cobra

Two shows this week! This one is on Thursday and will be the first show from this brand new duo I have with Ruben of Petrichor (not to mention everyone else on the line up will surely rip).

Receptionist: (British Accent) Do you have an accent? I can’t really tell. Me: (Midwest accent) yeah, I’m from the states. Receptionist: oh really! Let me guess which part. (Pause, extremely over exaggerated Texan accent) Miiiiiiichigaaaaaaaaaaan.

we love the labels & the venues & the promoters & the artists but we need to be loving the distros

Absolutely exhausted by people like this who literally owe their existence to political radicals that made it acceptable for him to be an out representative, and he’s literally gonna spend his last breaths condemning them.

Slightly diminish a book: A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Smartness

📣 Here it is, my new essay in Open Philosophy (@degruyterbrill.bsky.social), wherein I set out some ideas of my “ambient metaphysics”, drop in some @litvrgy.bsky.social, and even get that long promised @billorcutt.bsky.social epigraph in there! 🫡 Open access: www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi...

The more I think about it, the more I realize that Whitehouse had the most boomer ass arc of any band ever. 1980-2000: (say and do sketchiest shit ever, endlessly discuss Nazis/rapists/serial killers) 2000s: “You know what the REAL problem is? ART and HIPSTERS.”

Nothing like moving to remind you how bad you are at the commerce side of music making

Consider grabbing the Marcloid & Woods Law Group tape!

i am honkshooing in a room different than the one you are in now

as a gen x harsh noise artist i used to drink from the DOD death metal pedal in the friggin yard and make no-input mixer feedback until the street lights came the hell on

Also think it’s funny that visiting the Tracey Emin exhibit led to me understanding a Whitehouse track better

Hurray! My first academic monograph exploring the controversial hit musical Kiss Me, Kate is now available on @academic.oup.com for purchase by university libraries. Full citation below. More on UK and international preorders as well as events next week and so on.

In case anyone else has needed this image in conversation in the past but hasn’t been able to find it, here it is (should be a gif, but I don’t know how to make those)

Updating my linkedin

Friends and colleagues in Nottingham, there will be a cross-union rally NEXT Wednesday as council meets to vote on the substantial threat to jobs, units, and courses at UoN. Do come along. Do tell people and students. (More official flyers are available but I couldn't resist)

Silver medalist in the 15 min noise table
