Detroit Institute of Arts workers say the museum’s Diego Rivera murals inspired them to partner with AFSCME and form a union so they can get “fair pay, job security, and a voice in the decision-making process that affects their work.” www.metrotimes.com/news/metro-d... I know that’s right! 💪

As the semester intensifies, authors often ask me if it's okay to push back a deadline with a publisher. Frequently, it's not a problem, but you need to let the acquisitions editor know as soon as possible and work out a (hopefully mutually agreeable) time to submit the materials. #AcademicSky

Devastated to learn of the passing of our beloved Carlos Deford Bailey. My two fondest memories of Mr. Bailey are when he encouraged a professor to come on stage and dance with him at a conference (he did realize that this lady could jam) & this harmonica & a quick lesson I received from him. 🧵

I've been a scholar of slavery for over 15 years. When it comes to the sheer brutality and inhumanity of chattel slavery in the US, the rule of thumb is if you can imagine it, it likely happened.

This! I notice and comment on this when reviewing manuscripts. There is always a lot of passive voice, a refusal to acknowledge obvious connections, and racism without racists. In short, it’s a whole infrastructure of denial, often enabled by editors.
