This is what pisses me off about the current higher ed crisis. The humanities always take the fall for structural failures of admin or low enrollment.
We already have to justify our own existences bc STEMy depts and admin refuse to learn what we do!!

Where I work, grad student enrollment in Engineering and Business is down 70% and 40%, respectively.
Now, to cover the loss in revenue from these Departments, the rest of the colleges have to take MASSIVE hits. History Dept alone has cut/closed 6 TT lines. Forget about raises or salary equity. 🫠

Enrollment by international students from China dropped by 3 percent, from India by 4 percent, and enrollment from students from Mexico has flatlined. Here are the likely consequences for Texas' education and economy:

The story told here--one where anecdata suggests agency and autonomy have run amok and nameless activists are to blame--certainly rhymes with the NYT's disastrous panic about trans kids. Then you realize it's literally being written by the same author.
Autism rates have increased in recent decades, but the reasons are more complicated than what Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has presented. Hear more on today's episode of "The Daily." nyti.ms/480eqtm

Just had the horrifying thought that someone is DEFINITELY going to try to use chatgpt, etc., to "solve" the Voynich Manuscript. If that hasn't already happened.

Let me tell you. 1) an obscure manuscript illustration reference I made to characters from a TV show on my other account made it onto the discover feed somehow and 2) now I've got some guy doing Voynich MS conspiracies on my obscure manuscript reference to blorbo from my shows 😔

my sweater is not completely dry from blocking yet but the sleeve fits!! and is even a little long the way I like my cardigan sleeves!

Also this knitting pattern is making me do math because it has "increase/decrease x number of stitches evenly across the row" in here for numbers of stitches not divisible by the number it wants me to increase/decrease. I buy knitting patterns so I don't have to do the math myself!! 😭

blocking my sweater while it has only one sleeve because I need to know if the sleeve modifications I made will make the sleeve long enough for my arms. and also if the rest of it is gonna be the right size because this pattern is very oddly off
