Why I changed my mind on the genocide charge against Israel For the past 21 months of horrific violence and heartbreaking suffering in the Gaza Strip, I’ve been wrestling with the contentious…

A tipping point is happening.

From the Chair of Israel Studies at UCLA:

👏👏👏🥳

Whoa, congrats! Really can't wait to read it, and thrilled that your thoughtful work will reach a massive audience.

Thanks, friend! And your last post about Coleridge-Taylor made me super eager to read whatever it is you're cooking up 👀

It's a little book I posted about last year—I'll have to finish the thread. I did predict it would unfold slowly 🙂 bsky.app/profile/drca...

Eager to read this book, on a topic that's long preoccupied me—as a scholar of a region whose roots there were severed. Here's a bit from a little piece coming out next year where I use a manuscript miscellany of music copied in 1599 by an ordinary nobody to think about Central Europes of the past.

I apologize for my earlier post, now deleted, which due to an autocorrect error appeared to indicate that I wished to "find and devour some elites." I was simply hungry for some Mexican street corn.

You know, your own imagination is far more wonderful Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood

Than any computer could ever be. You know why? Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood

You’re a living human being. And a computer is just a machine. Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood

Human beings are far more wonderful than machines. Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood

You have to show ID to formally surrender a pet—how risky if you're undocumented—which might explain why she was left near the shelter, but not formally surrendered. I hope her family is okay and I hope somehow they know their pup is fine. 3/3

She's trained but doesn't seem to know English commands. I've come to be believe her owners wouldn't have abandoned her unless desperate. 2/

We've wondered if this is what happened to Clover, whom we adopted earlier this year, because she came to us clearly well cared for, so cuddly, seemingly untraumatized—unafraid of any people, so good with children. 1/

I am very eagerly looking to commission an Encyclopedia of Latin American Music & Music Cultures that's printed in BOTH English & Spanish (corresponding r & l pages, respectively...we may also be able to do some entries in Portuguese). If you want to edit or co-edit such a volume, DM or email me!

I spent decades at Columbia. I’m withdrawing my fall course due to its deal with Trump | Rashid Khalidi The university’s draconian policies and new definition of antisemitism make much teaching impossible

"It constitutes the antithesis of the academic freedom that you have disingenuously claimed will not be infringed by this shameful capitulation to the anti-intellectual forces animating the Trump administration."

Wall Street Journal headline and deck: "New York Shooting Puts Mamdani on the Spot Over Policing Views: The killing of four people in a Midtown office building rattled a city where mass attacks are rare and violent crime has declined."

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

1. mandatory history survey courses are good, actually. students should have some grounding in the bigger picture/long durée of history before they jump into the viscera of period topics or else risk exaggerating the innovation and exceptionality of every period and culture that they study

“For researchers, the ability to engage with a text in the original language is especially useful in situations where precise nuances—whether technical, legal [or] literary—really matter,” she [Megan Bowler, HEPI report author] said.

Readers, if you don't know, course evals are often a nightmare for women & faculty of color. I've had friends & colleagues report students commenting on their appearance, using racial slurs, & making all sorts of misogynistic comments.
white male = genius, non-white/female = pushing an agenda.

This Tuckahoe home won a $1.26 billion contract for an ICE detention center. The owner isn't talking. The company’s website is dated and largely accessible only via login.

how much of the money from the ICE/tax cuts bill is just going to go to scammers, do you think? www.richmonder.org/this-tuckaho...

Oof, thank you for the warning. And also 🤯

Ooo thanks for this—I've not yet watched it (something about actually being on Lawn Guyland makes me hesitate, somethign so inescapable about it all). This nudges me to give it a go.

Bangkok after Dark

Happy to schedule classroom visits (live or remote) if you're assigning "Bangkok After Dark" in a class this coming year. Don't need any kind of honorarium, I'm just happy to talk about music, SE Asia, race, sex/gender, and history with smart, curious people.
