Come work with me! Assistant Professor. Tenure Track. Southern CT State university in New Haven, CT.

This part. Because to the pundits, it's a sport and they aren't good enough to be coaches so they just Monday morning quarterback about as well as the gibbons calling in to talk radio chowderheads.

Occasional weather boost for #NutmegSky. This is a good account to follow.

Attentikn everyone. PLEASE PLEASE share this post, this is an emergency!

(Not the point, but it's why I continue to be mad that a generally excellent jazz radio station I listen to regularly, WBGO, proudly employs a former Secretary of DHS.)

For Charlotte friends who want to prepare, we made our little whistle station with a plastic planter (drainage in the bottom in case it rains), zip ties, and no-heat lamination paper

Rest in peace, Alice Wong 🕊️ thesicktimes.org/2025/11/15/a...

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures

The market for someone with a demographically marked identity who’s willing to say that identity (their own or anyone else’s) ultimately doesn’t matter is bottomless. This is true regardless of their position in society or the rest of their politics. Obama was a version of this, at least at times.

With 🧊 in Charlotte, we will be posting as many resources as we can find to help anyone in Charlotte as well as what we need to know across the state. Carolina Migrant Network has a hotline that you can call especially if you are in Charlotte. They will verify that it is 🧊 and will notify.

(Not exactly the point, but this is how you fine corps. Not fixed figures, but amounts keyed to their profit. For good measure, make it keyed to their most profitable year in the trailing 5, else they'll shell game the hell out of their 10K the year they get fined.)

alflorar herb collective, based in asheville, is requesting supplies & donations to support their rapid response herbal mutual aid efforts across the state of north carolina. requested supplies and mailing info in the graphics below or donate funds at southernvision.ourpowerbase.net/civicrm/cont....

academeblog.org/2025/11/13/t... My colleague has captured what is currently happening at my institution. I have found the chipper rhetoric announcing it particularly depressing.

Whatever is in those files ? Happened to HUMANS because we can not get our shit together about folks boundaries being respected The refusal to handle misogyny to acknowledge we chose to ignore it KILLS AND TRAUMATIZES folks every damn day and may dismantle this country And it’s not funny

Two weeks into a new program that gives New Mexico children free childcare, officials are opening up about the surge that happened day one & how it’s been moving forward. In just a short time, the state said thousands of children are now enrolled in free childcare, & daycares are lining up to join.

Women who have abortions would face decades in prison and IUDs would be banned under a South Carolina bill that state lawmakers will consider during a hearing on Tuesday. It's the most extreme proposal any state has considered since the 2022 Dobbs ruling.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”

This is a wonderful critique of a recent decree to silence indigenous languages in educational settings in Nigeria, or as the author so aptly puts it, "On the Silencing of our Tongues." I wish the Lagos Review was here to add to the BLK Sky conversation.

Dar Al Islam Jamaica is raising money to help their community during the Hurricane #Melissa

I agree with Chef. Here's a great article with better ways to give direct aid to Jamaica: How to Help Jamaica Rebuild After Hurricane Melissa From verified relief funds to responsible travel and long-term rebuilding, here’s how you can support the island. www.bet.com/article/gkex...

god these women are so much braver than any of the talking heads or politicians trying to minimize this. > www.worldwithoutexploitation.org

Ahmed and Rula are sick from the cold. They don't have winter clothes & blankets, so keeping the kids warm costs their own health But even Noor and Wateen will be cold soon - they need proper winter clothes, not sacrificed layers $600 needed so all can be warm & healthy paypal.me/AhmadAlsbaihii

Yes, Larry Summers = 100% nepo baby. Uncle Paul Samuelson won the Nobel Prize in Econ. Uncle Kenneth Arrow won the Nobel Prize in Econ. Mom & Dad (Anita & Bob) were tenured economists at Penn.

Er… I believe law firms still do this for first years?

American pedo ("pedocriminal" is repetitive, yes?) arrested in Alsace after 13 years of AZ police looking. "Had the effect like a bomb" in the town.

All of 5 minutes looking up the MTG story would show those with eyes to see that it's only a schism within MAGA, not a road to Damascus moment for her. Who needs AI teaching The Youth to not read when their NI elders already don't?!

I can reassure the New York Times that networks of mutual protection, and misogynist retaliation efforts that benefit abusive men at the expense of the young women they prey upon, are very much still intact post-Me Too.

weirdly, the little curtained corners of the hotel ballroom were worse. just stank of anxiety + desperation. the handful I did were usually in a suite w/a sitting area, sometimes a kitchen, with no bed to be seen. There was ONE, however, where a couple of us sat on the bed--all women, if I recall...

And invite candidates to parties in said hotel rooms, sometimes not even suites, that you felt obligated to attend even though it was so uncomfortable and you would inevitably get waylaid when trying to leave by an emeritus hanging in the doorway who wanted to talk about Beasts of the Southern Wild.

Oh no, what are you doing

Pause for a moment, if you will, and notice that "job interview in hotel room, alone with your man interviewer" is a horror story, but not even as horrorible as what else happened.

one of many reasons why the whole "Democrats have no space for men" argument is bullshit is that they still keep misogynist creeps like Larry Summers around

"ProPublica’s reporting debunks the idea of a ’Tren de Aragua complex' taken over by a horde of terrorists. We found no criminal convictions for 18 of the 21 Venezuelans we identified. Three of the men had been charged with offenses ... but in each case the charges were dropped."

New to me, good for #gardening esp. in the USA South/Midatlantic: www.southernexposure.com "Southern Exposure Seed Exchange offers about 850 varieties. . . . We emphasize varieties that perform well in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast, although gardeners and farmers over the country grow our seeds."

Please mask up and stop spreading COVID, in memory of Alice.

Good news: the million-vote #mamdate we got Zohran is getting Hochul to start reconsidering her stance against taxing the rich. It's time to turn up the volume. The #TaxTheRich campaign launches tomorrow (Sun, Nov 16) @ 12pm in Union Sq. Let's aim for 1,000 people. actionnetwork.org/events/tax-t...

Making a note: I've gotten better at realizing when my part of a human interaction has stopped being about them or us and started being about me.

I’m Azooz 16 years old My father and several family members were killed in the war, our home and school destroyed, and now I’m supporting my family alone Your donation can buys me books, supplies, bringing me one step closer to the classroom & future tinyurl.com/azooz9

One way I have found to mourn someone is to set up a monthly sustaining donation to a mutual aid effort they cared about. If you can join me in honoring Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social with a sustaining donation today, please do. Thank you Alice, and I will not let the bastards grind me down.

A few years ago, I wrote a piece about Walker's Appeal, it's various editions, and digitizing archives. A good little intro to a text worthy of a much deeper dive: daily.jstor.org/comparing-ed...

Except when she gets cast in a space opera and then she's Florence Pew Pew Pew

Le mec est bien cuit.

alyssa thompson should’ve been the wake up call, but since it wasn’t, if trin leaves then berman and the board of governors will have successfully transitioned the nwsl into a feeder league. congrats on those expansion fees tho.

Honoring Alice Wong's life and legacy with gratitude, in solidarity and sorrow, this morning. I was a fan; thinking of all who loved and knew her personally. Alice's words speak to us still. As a chronically ill person, I will keep listening. What a beautiful, bold, *brilliant* life well lived.
