Thinking a lot about how to square abolitionist policies with a cultural desire to seek vengeance in the face of terrible oppression. Can we really abolish ICE and all state violence if weโ€™re also calling for the imprisonment of ICE agents? Can we change if we keep all the same systems in place?

My yearly reading has SKYROCKETED since I started reading audiobooks. Like, I used to only manage 2 or 3 books outside of things I teach. Now I read over 100 consistently, and most are audiobooks.

If whoever does these polls were to listen to librarians & admit that reading books on audio is reading, this number might change significantly.

(AND ALSO - remember @HistOpinion over on Twitter? I loved @HistOpinion.)

Also please remember that you can love someone while refusing to subject yourself to the harm they inflict on you. These are not incompatible actions.

Remember to love the people around you, deeply and unironically. Thatโ€™s going to get us a lot further than spite.

Pro Tip: catch up on peer review during contentious faculty meetings. You'll save yourself a lot of anger and help another scholar while you're at it.

Take Me Out to the Class Game: Social Stratification in the Stadium - JSTOR Daily The private boxes for the privileged few in todayโ€™s baseball stadiums are nothing new.

This one. They thought the article was really interesting, but they all agreed that people their age would never seek out things like that.

PSA: It's okay for cishet men not to want sex, or not to want it all the time, or to have marital problems because of misaligned sexual desires, regardless of what their wife look like.

Men are complex human beings, not boners on legs.

Me: Who do you think this author's intended audience is for this article? Like, who would generally be reading articles on JStore Daily?

Student 1: Old people?

Student 2: Someone in a nursing home who's bored?

I'm glad this has replaced your duck facts, but also, it's weird that this is now your go-to fact.

My stone post scrub. It'll be tidy and white when it dries. It has a willow and urn motif with a worn inscription below.

Liz and I went grave stone cleaning today. The stones we worked on were both wives to one man, which was cool. I'm excited to see how much they whiten when we're back in the cemetery for Halloween.
