My essay on David Foster Wallace and the internet was translated into Italian, with some new art, which is very cool! They cut out my discussion of the Infinite Jest meme involving Kid Rock performing at the Turning Point USA “All-American Halftime Show” lol.

I want to talk to mid-career faculty at institutions and in states that have adopted post-tenure review or other policies that may make tenure seem a less stable prospect. How do those policies influence your thinking about going up for tenure - or maintaining it? DM or email me!

BREAKING: A federal judge in Washington, D.C., has declined to block President Trump’s executive order that calls for restricting voting by mail. Another judge may rule on the order as soon as early June www.courtlistener.com/docket/73131...

In 2018, Trump tried to gag all White House staff—a plan so bad his White House Counsel initially refused to help. Now he's trying to do it to all 2 million federal workers.

U Florida chairs of departments most of whose courses no longer count toward gen ed degree—history, lit, any acknowledgment that Black people & women exist—forced to sign loyalty pledges to new rightwing program that has—what’s that word fascists use?—replaced them. So much “free speech” it hurts.

On that note, the AAUP Faculty in the South Survey - which asks about this subject - is adding Oklahoma this year. Survey out in August, results after Labor Day.

Out of 177 faculty respondents, close to half reported significant concern about being disciplined by the university for their public engagement. One-fifth indicated that they had been asked by an administrator to change language related to their courses, research, or website.
