WTF

The craziest part of the show is the audience siding with the character sexually assaulting humanity

It is interesting (derogatory) that productivity is operationalized as "uploading to preprint servers"

The audio design on Heated Rivalry is crazy lmao

I will forever love the diy scene, tell me why the bassist showed up 30 minutes late to the set and then tried to fight the drummer

Tonight imma take an edible and go to bed at 7pm because I’m not a sadist like you lot

This has been the plan for decades, underfund and overwork the schools, claim they fail, seize control. Nobody thought that Texas public schools were doing well but the question is WHY

Food bank director: “for every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There’s no way we can meet that gap.”

The masses crave populists !

It would help to have a National Day of Action re: SNAP - perhaps on November 1. It would take rapid response but houses of worship could take the lead in mobilizing their members. Educate everyone about the cuts, encourage local donations, pressure Congress, etc...

Damn this past month of album releases is giving scorned white woman winter

We need the gun emoji back, now more than ever

Lets work it out on the remix

It’s actually really heartening to see the current cohort of “senior” scholars opening talking about unionizing. When I was in grad school so many people I looked up to were hostile to faculty unionizing, grad student unionizing, even discussing striking. Hyper individualism will not protect you.

The only thing that could heal the deep partisan divide in this country is a reboot of Glee starring the original cast

This makes sense and is one reason I don’t do bumper stickers (the main one is that I think police might discriminate against my politics). But I do wonder if this creates partisan asymmetry, and also whether stickers do some good in normalizing minority political options in places.

This will make for great intro to US politics fodder; thanks, @torrespolisci.bsky.social! #Polarization affects everyone & everything!

The curse continues…

The law of utility repair appointment “windows”: if you need them to arrive early they’ll inevitably arrive late, and vice versa

You are more likely to get honked at if you drive badly and have an out-party-evocative bumper sticker on your car. www.frontiersin.org/journals/pol...

🚨Out Now (Open Access) in Frontiers🚨: ‘How do drivers react to partisan bumper stickers? Understanding polarization in apolitical settings’ My coauthor and I conducted realistic encounters with partisan bumper stickers to see if it triggers partisan identity ! www.frontiersin.org/journals/pol...

Only the Democratic Party would continue to allow itself to be defined by its own electoral losers 😑

I’m no big city economist but isn’t this like, fundamentally, what libertarians are always complaining about

You’ve been Susan Strange’d

Turn 30 and all of the sudden it’s nonstop “DO YOU WANT TO FREEZE YOUR EGGS” ads.

I show that using racial identity for political gain is neither clear-cut nor ambiguous. #APSA2025

The book assembles a rare combination of text analysis, discourse analysis, survey analysis, experimental analysis, nationwide interviews, and case studies of multiracial politicians, including a study of Vice President Kamala Harris. #APSA2025

IT'S OFFICIAL!! My second book, Doing Identity Labor: How Mixed-Race Politicians Disrupt Descriptive Representation is available for pre-order at OUP! Order below! #APSA2025 bit.ly/DoingIdentit...

In so many ways, the Roberts Court has revived the logic of Dred Scott: that racially targeted groups have “no rights which the white man was bound to respect.” Thinking in particular today abt the free Black Americans trafficked under the Fugitive Slave Law, virtually w/o legal recourse.

Me shopping

My summer of ‘yes’ has turned into my autumn of ‘fuck off’

September 2025 be like

Amen 🙏

I’ve come to realize there ARE enough hours in the day… I just don’t fucking use them.

Happy Labor Day, comrades 🫡

Unions don't just protect a single worker, they protect and empower entire families. I have never had a union job, but my career has greatly benefitted from my spouse's union job. I've been able to take risks, do jobs that were longer-term investments, and negotiate harder because of the stability.

We don't have to live like this.

More of the American political and media elite should come to our campus, sit in my classes, and talk to my students.
