We think of the White House as a big mansion, but the point is it's not a palace. It's a house. It's modest, one of the smallest residences for a head of state. The east and west wings are deliberately minimal and unobtrusive. It's not Versailles or Buckingham. It symbolizes civic republicanism.

this was a crime against humanity, and the prosecution of that should fall to the ICC, imo. he should also be prosecuted federally for the myriad national security laws he violated. these crimes are as serious as it gets. we have to see justice

Truly brilliant.

Oh, I'm making ratatouille, too! Totally splurged at the farmers market yesterday.

The problem is far bigger than Jeffrey Epstein | Rebecca Solnit Treating the scandal as an aberration misunderstands the global epidemic of violence against women

"One of the reasons the epidemic of violence against women is so unacknowledged is because cases like these are talked about individually, and often treated as though they are shocking aberrations rather than part of a pervasive pattern that operates at all levels of society."

Happy long weekend Caturday!

This is an open secret in academia. When I was nervous about student reception when I started teaching my advisor, an eminent female professor, told me frankly that I had little to worry about since I was white, male, and not too young. It is yet another unequal structural barrier to accomplishment.

More attention here please.

This is a major Trump administration scandal, and should be treated as such by the media and by Democrats. We know that Republicans will do everything in their power to help Trump cover up this scandal, and they should pay a price for this.

I kinda think the way people use ChatGPT is sort of aspirational because it seems to emulate the way rich people have sycophants lying to them all the time until they lose touch with reality and also their entire minds

Do I have to?

Just saying I make damn great pierogi and I reserve the right to share them only with people I like.

The result of the long, long tether is one of the many reasons I left a tenured uni position. Parents calling kids during class. Master's student's parent calling to argue that kid shouldn't have to correct factual errors in thesis to graduate. Parents questioning why "their kid" has to read.
