Boy I cannot wait to write my memoirs because the last 36 hours of my life ALONE would be rejected by Hollywood as being too unrealistic for any single narrative.

Doing all my spring advising this week, and it has so far been such a joy to meet with each beloved student and spend significant time with them talking widely about their plans and interests and dreams. I LOVE my job.

I mean *I* think it's perfectly hinged, but you should always cut the bear in The Winter's Tale.

ACLS statement against White House “compact”: THIS IS SOVIET SHIT

Screenshot from statement “Universities and colleges have one mission: to advance knowledge. Faculty carry out the mission by conducting research and teaching students. The knowledge they produce and circulate is independently assessed by professional peers. Interfering with that process by forcing knowledge to pass through a political filter is a tactic adopted by the Soviet Union and other authoritarian states. The White House is dressing up its compact as a reasonable corrective to what it views as problems in campus culture. Let no one be deceived. This proposal imposes government censorship on academia. It is anti-American, and it weakens our democracy by devaluing academic expertise.”

Totally fine for random people to determine what colleges teach so long as they pass a small test first of explaining and operating the Large Hadron Collider, a simple task for people so capable of immediately knowing more than career experts in a field of study.

Tenure dossier preparation is upon me. Accordingly: if you've taught any of my articles/books/chapters/podcasts/blogs, used any material I've created in classwork, or have spotted a review of any of it, could you please reach out and let me know? Thank you.
