I talked to a white guy last night who just got an NSF grant while a few Black women colleagues had their grants cancelled -- labeled "DEI". Basically he's like, it sucks and I feel guilty, but I still want to do my work and support my grad students...
Sometimes I wonder about how the White folks process still having their jobs. I've been reading a lot about McCarthyism, which has my brain primed to think about the people who stay once people politically repress their colleague out of a job.

Heartbreaking and horrifying to go to bed reading about the mass shooting at Brown University and wake up to read about the mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach. Thinking of the victims, their loved ones, and those affected by the hate that drove these attacks.
