In academia, July 1 is a big day: it's the 1st day of sabbatical, a new administrative position, and a new salary after a raise. July 1, 2024 is a big day for me: I'm no longer an associate professor at Penn State.
I'm pretty much out of the business nowadays, but had to share this *incredible* article by Claire Rasmussen as I prep to present at my last political science conference, naturally on current right wing politics, "heteroactivism," and IVF, in honor of Cyndi Daniels: id.erudit.org/iderudit/110...

The likelihood you've been right about the course of American politics over the last decade rises in direct proportion to how often you listen to Rage Against the Machine. Having studied political science hurts you a bit. Having worked as a political journalist hurts a lot.
Not the first time I've said it, but I do think we should sit with the fact that the folks likeliest to have predicted we'd elect a reality TV president who'd create a fascist police state where people would be put into unmarked vans for criticizing Israel have been widely ridiculed my entire life.

I provide therapy to Veterans ranging in age from their 20s to 80s, from Vietnam vets to folks recently returning to civilian life. They live with immense challenges - mental health and otherwise - and still, so many believe they can heal. They deserve better. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/22/u...
