I am so freaking tired of institutions breaking hearts. Hugs to you, sis! 🥰💜

I've done a lottt of travel this year, and a big shout-out/major kudos goes to the AGLS organizers for offering a conference meal that was delicious and pretty darn inclusive! It's hard to do, and they did it well.

Officially endorse. 😎

If Men Tried to Understand Their Comfort, They’d See Who Paid Its Cost. I’m a heterosexual, cisgender white man from a small rural community in Wisconsin.

@dahlialithwick.bsky.social @mjsdc.bsky.social please join me in ragey eye rolls in the direction of 1 First Street. 🙄🙄

Someone please alert the Chief Justice that courtrooms are failing to stop discriminating on the basis of race. 🙄

Bryan Stevenson is the best of us, and I adore him to bits. I am angry on his behalf for the million tiny cuts he experiences doing heroic work.

This is great. Being a political scientist at the moment is a bit like being a climate scientist a few years back. You can see clearly catastrophe is coming, but most people seem blithely unaware of it

Advice | Sometimes We Resist AI for Good Reasons Why higher ed needs to listen to the contrarians in setting policies on using tools like ChatGPT in faculty work.

My latest column for the Chronicle of Higher Ed is now live. It's an argument for including AI-critical voices in campus conversations and policymaking workgroups, and I'm proud to get this dissenting piece into the mainstream genAI/higher ed discourse. Please read and share if you're so inclined 🙂

I'm listening to Anne Lamott read Bird By Bird. Why has nobody ever told me this book is delightful?!?! 🤣

But seriously, I had no idea it would make me snort laugh on a nighttime flight.

A Ministry of Presence An experience of collective pain does not deliver us from grief or sadness; it is a ministry of presence. These moments remind us that we are not alone in our darkness and that our broken heart is con...

For many years when teaching American Government to undergrads, I started the semester by reading Brene' Brown's chapter, "People are Hard to Hate Close Up. Move In." We need that lesson now more than ever. Here's an excerpt. brenebrown.com/articles/201...

I'm not linking to the piece/naming the author intentionally, because it's a fraught time for anyone to speak--but especially those working in higher ed. But we must find ways to connect with one another, even imperfectly, because doing so is healing. Connection is the antidote to hate.

I appreciated the piece I read yesterday and again this morning about the importance of talking to students about events unfolding around us. Especially the idea of "rigorous empathy": "to ask why people we disagree with believe what they do, and what fears and hopes animate their positions."

Ginger, a tricolored basset hound, is out of food and unhappy about it.

#Disability advocate friends: I thought I bookmarked this site, but now I can't find it -- it was a tool for assessing the accessibility of physical spaces, and it was a checklist of sorts. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Anyone have a link you can share? Help me jog my memory!

Wes Bentley of Yellowstone, Hunger Games, and American Beauty fame. He was a year behind me in high school, but moved to Little Rock his junior/my senior year. I had a MASSIVE crush on his older brother, who was a dreamy French horn player. 😍📯

My fiction is, too! I have a haphazard but vaguely LOC-esque system going for the nonfiction.

I am, sadly, 100% serious. It's utter chaos on the shelves.

Hahaha, I meant AGGRIEVED. Not aggressive. I'm the least aggressive person ever. But I am sorely aggrieved, @barnesandnoble.com

Excuse me screaming this:
THERE IS A LITERAL PROFESSION DEDICATED TO EFFICIENT ORGANIZATION OF INFORMATION RESOURCES. I guarantee you, that system is not remotely based on vibes.

I am massively aggressive, @barnesandnoble.com 💔‼️🙄
