CASBS study dedicated in honor of Woody Powell

About 100 people gathered here recently to celebrate Woody Powell. Because he has been who he is for about 15 years of his career here, he has achieved certifiable super-community member status. He bleeds CASBS red.

Woody's Dedication
As mentor, leader, and friend, Woody Powell defines what a scholarly community member should be. For much of his career, he's done it at CASBS. Now a CASBS study has been dedicated in his name.

On Nov. 26, we filed a Motion to reopen his old deportation case- a court order he was unaware of. With that, his deportation is automatically stayed.

🚨Please sign the petition to demand ICE #FreeAllan immediately so he can reunite with his husband and community: bit.ly/FreeAllan

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

btw, every "reasonable" person who's own posting stuff like "well, the prompt was unclear," or "she actually kind of did the assignment OK so maybe the TA overreacted"--you are also part of the problem! You're laundering the deliberate targeting of a TA and a blatant abrogation of academic freedom!
This thread is 💯. Labor precarity in academia means the evisceration of faculty governance and academic freedom, opening the door to administrative purges of the most vulnerable. And faculty-esp tenured faculty and academic leaders-who aren't defending their trans colleagues are enabling it.
So yeah, this is fundamentally about trans people and that cannot be elided, but the ways in which junior faculty are targeted and disposed of, while academic jobs are increasingly precarized, and political grandstanders seek to influence academic governance are fucking terrifying for everyone.

sorry but i think it’s newsworthy every time someone wants to fuck rfk jr. and we’re never going to fully understand human psychology if we don’t figure it out
It rocks that all 20 people who genuinely think the Olivia Nuzzi stuff is interesting have editorial discretion at major media outlets. Just publish your group chats
