I realize there are many reasons to hate this post. Massive missed one: at no point in most renters’ lives do they have the option to store a whole month’s food in their place. Their freezers are small. Their cupboards are small. Where are they supposed to magically store all of this?

We need a new word like ‘enshittification’ for the addition of unwanted AI to everything.
Paitronization? Spaitfulness? Aimorality? Intrusaiveness? Waistfulness?
Is there already a term for it and I just don’t know what it is?

It's not lost on me that the part of the White House we are destroying is the part that has to do with women's history in the White House.

Truth. Local and state public health are doing their level best to hold the line, and to build multi-state cooperation. Also: you’ll need to increase your state’s public health budget in the next few years. They are taking up an enormous new burden and likely losing their federal funding.

It comes across as batshit here, too, and I am in Wisconsin.

No one should be judged less worthy, less valuable, less educated, or less eloquent if they speak differently than you do. Language is culturally acquired and very specific. People should not have to ‘code switch’ to be taken seriously — by asking them to, we insult the family who raised them.

Also, these are the students college professors have to worry about. There is a nearly circular Venn diagram showing where this group overlaps with the Turning Point group, who doxx professors with whom they disagree.

Good tips for protesters:

Also, part of being a good ally is making sure the people who are being targeted for hate do not have to bear the burden of protest alone. If we all show up, we break every kind of fascist or nationalist narrative.

find some outlets in here. don’t pay for substack; your cash goes to literal nazis.

☎️Take a few minutes today to call your reps and senators. They need to hear from us, especially from federal workers.

Tell them to hold the line, to not let our trauma and suffering be in vain. Force republicans to the negotiating table and remind Trump he does not yet own us all.

Aaaahhhh I was torn between guesses: Saugatuck or Grand Haven. Glad to know which it is!

If you're watching the situation in Chicago from afar & want to help, on the off chance you have spare $$, you can give to the Midwest Immigrant Bond Fund, which posts "bond for individuals held in the custody of ICE w ties to IL, IN, KY & WI who cannot afford to pay"

Milwaukee and Madison: stand with Chicago tomorrow.

D.) When I worked in public schools there was no budget for students to have access to a whole book. All I could offer them was access to a classroom set, photocopied excerpts, and novels I bought with Donorschoose money or paid for myself.

Also, it IS the humanities’ job to teach people to think clearly and critically enough to see through a fog of AI bullshit.

Uncle Fergus Magic Whiskey Band is playing House of Guinness in Waukesha Wi Sept 27 at 8 pm. No cover charge! All are welcome.

Looking to escape? Very silly band, good time to be had. Waukesha WI USA tomorrow night.

Thank goodness. Please, by all that is scientific and not holy, get a bipartisan group together and fire him before he harms or endangers anyone else.

Also, at the same time making pregnancy more dangerous by reducing access to care and telling pregnant people not to be vaccinated, and not to take fever-reducers/painkillers (acetaminophen). This is about causing pain and harm.

I truly crave the day when we are no longer ruled by the kinds of people who can be bought by old white billionaires.

This is a reminder that late night talk shows are not the only targets for government censorship and overreach. Book bans are censorship, too, and a book ban has never been on the right side of history.

You should not be on academia.edu . I know this because after my dissertation director had died, they kept telling me she had posted new things. They were using her work as clickbait, and it was revolting.

Hi, Bluesky! It’s God.

Don’t let the bastards get you down.

Protecting Wisconsinites’ health from environmental and occupational exposures by day. Teaching literature by night. Being equitable to all human beings throughout.

I will work with any Republicans willing to put science and facts over politics and ideology to push out RFK Jr.

That man is a serious threat to public health and American lives.

It's never too late to do the right thing. Join me in calling for RFK Jr. to be fired immediately.

My take: literary fiction is a label created to support hegemonic power structures important to capitalist heteronormative white supremacy.

i cannot overstate how extraordinary it is for federal civil servants to do this

RFK Jr gives Republicans a chance to defy Trump on easy mode They're failing — so far.

"The GOP is signing on to mass murder of children based on the novel theories of a man who has no party ties except a single Trump endorsement. It is a measure of the party’s utter hollowness, brokenness, and evil that even in this case, it can barely find the resources to demur."
