I get that we can't self care our way out of this. But this morning message from the YMCA coffee counter is a little too on point for me and my colleagues at U of O who are facing unprecedented, unpredictable and unclear firings of staff, tenured and nontenured faculty.

How cool is Mike Messner’s new book?! It looks like a yearbook and it’s based on 100+ years of yearbooks!

This is all horrifying, so all my little peabrain can focus on is that I am absolutely not prepared to be suitably professorial in 80+ degree temps next week.

The great thing about teenagers is that you have in house advisors for your opening slide.

I gave a guest lecture on Nice Is Not Enough (a book I wrote about how a school grappled with inequality during the first Trump presidency) yesterday. A student asked "based on what you saw what do you think will happen now?" That's a question I did not anticipate having to answer.

So excited to finally get to visit McMaster U next week after an ice storm derailed my first trip! I can't lie though, I'm bummed to no longer be able to say I've been cancelled in Canada.

The word "offense" can make systemic inequalities (in the case of this article - gender inequality) look like problems of individual differences or hurt feelings, which they are not. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Oregonians, I'm giving a public lecture on Nice Is Not Enough at the Wayne Morse Center in a few weeks and I would love to see you there!
