Top tier decorations and entertainment for Jane Adams birthday at Rockford University!

9/10 is Rockford graduate Jane Addms birthday and every year RU volunteers to help the community. My group help out at the Northwest community center! Picking up trash, mopping floors, and cleaning windows. A great experience for all!

While I am thrilled to have graduated with my PhD. The invocation was supposed to be non-denominational - the pastor doing it not only quoted the bible but "prayed over us in Jesus' name". Disappointed in Purdue for this non-inclusive and rather insulting (for those who don't believe) invocation.

I am proud to say that I is completely official - I am Dr. Nic Frame! Thank you to my mentor Dan Olson for all of your help over the years! And thank you to my mentor @drmann.bsky.social too! (though I could have only one of you hood you me)

Title: Gender Census 2025. Text: If you can't easily put yourself into just one of these two boxes, you are invited to take part. Illustration: Two boxes, each with photos of relevant dictionary pages.

Here's Colbert on July 14 making fun of Paramount for paying Trump $16 million. It's hard not to see CBS canceling his show through this lens.

"I believe this kind of complicated financial settlement with a sitting government official has a technical name in legal circles. It's big fat bribe."

The existential dread that comes after completing the final revisions on your dissertation and officially submitting it to the graduate school. I have a job starting in August but like...what comes next? Such a big part of my life. Over.

I am proud to announce that I have successfully defended my dissertation and am officially Dr. Frame.

Brilliant idea! Next they’ll invent seatbelts and call them “freedom straps.”

I am happy to announce that I have accepted a Teaching Professor position at Rockford University in Illinois!

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Reminding and EMPHASIZING that this land belongs to the Shoshone Paiute and the people fighting this lithium mining live in extreme poverty and oppression. When we say LAND BACK this is what we mean.

Just had an amazing on-campus interview today at a SLAC! The faculty were wonderful, the campus was lovely (even if it was cold, so I didn't see much), and the students in my teaching demo were engaged and thoughtful with their comments! Fingers crossed that I get an offer!

Decades of confirmation hearings where women testify to abuse and sexual violence, only for the men in question to rise to higher positions of power, is a perfect encapsulation of why more victims don’t come forward.

I wish people on the left would stop using “diversity hire” or “affirmative action” to describe folks like Hegseth. This reinforces the racist, sexist notion that diversity and affirmative action are promoting unqualified people, doing the right’s work for the.

Okay, okay! I get it, Fitchburg University. You have already filled the job position. You don't need to reject me more than ten times! 😂
