Phrenology but make it digital. Cool.

So Harvard is keeping this guy, but Claudine Gay had to step down over ginned up plagiarism accusations and bad-faith accusations of anti-Semitism.

Got it.

they say stuff like this and you realize, they believe women just fine. they just don't care when we're hurt and think men should be allowed to paw at whomever they want without consequence.

I never realized how important teaching would become. I also didn't realize how much my students would surprise me. As an adjunct, I can teach for the pure joy of it. Check out my latest post.

Earlier this month, along with some very distinguished and accomplished folks, I was included in a group for an article titled "12 Public Speakers of Distinction." Congratulations to my fellow group members!

Abstract: The identity and mission of emergency management is a topic of frequent discussion among researchers and practitioners. However, the extent to which there is consensus across emergency management agencies about what their missions are is unclear. This study seeks to answer that question through a content analysis of the mission statements from 226 emergency management agencies representing all levels of government in the United States (i.e. federal, state, territorial, tribal, and local). Mission statements are a tool organizations use to indicate both externally and internally their raison d’etre. This study found there is consensus regarding emergency management agencies’ concern with “all-hazards” and the use of phases to organize their work. There were differences found in how agencies accounted for their constituencies, partner agencies, role identity, and goals. Despite some differences, this study found that overall agency mission statements across levels of government in the US align, suggesting consensus in the field of the mission of emergency management.

Absolutely insane time to post this but @amsavitt.bsky.social and I have a new article out in the Journal of Homeland Security and Emergency Management called "Defining Our Mission: A Content Analysis of U.S. Emergency Management Agency Mission Statements" #GreySky

Challenger space shuttle explosion: Remembering disaster 39 years later It's been 39 years since the Challenger space shuttle, carrying seven people, took off from Florida's Kennedy Space Center, exploding in mere minutes.

Their sacrifice is part of our history, but his moment of remembrance is incomplete until we consider the families who have lived without them all these years. 2/2 www.wesh.com/article/chal...

With all of the craziness in the USA, I want to take a minute to remember the #SpaceShuttleChallenger Explosion from January 28, 1986. I was in the 8th grade then. I remember my deep sorrow when I realized the crew was gone. 1/2

As LA County prepares for more rain this afternoon, it’s crucial for residents in burn areas to take proactive measures to protect their homes and families from mudslides and debris flows, which can pose severe threats to life and property.

You will notice that none of these are about actually meeting the needs of disaster survivors or preventing disasters.

The connection across these four is profiting from disasters whether financially or politically.

1. Spend less money on disasters. This is what the majority of the EM policy in Project 2025 is about. This is what Trump is referencing when he’s talking about the states being in charge of response.

“Emergency management is not just response,” @drlucyjones.bsky.social concluded in that report. “It is developing resilience before, responding efficiently during, and recovering quickly after a disaster.”

This is a slap in the face to American women.

Pete Hegseth has a track record of disrespecting women service members, and multiple credible sexual assault allegations.

Our troops deserve better.

As we wait for further information as to how the #Trump admin intends to address the “issues” it perceives with #FEMA, #Project2025 is a good indicator of the possible path the admin may take.

Cameron Hamilton to Be Temporary Head of FEMA (Gift Article) Cameron Hamilton does not appear to have experience coordinating responses to large-scale disasters, like the wildfires in California.

Now is not the time for your FEMA hot takes! This isn’t a thought experiment. Peoples lives and livelihoods are at risk. Not to mention the national security implications of what is being suggested.
