Raewyn Connell is indeed a lovely and creative scholar. Interesting to read her view of her career intersecting with the personal.

10.9% couples include at least one sexually diverse partner—twice+ rate seen when only one partner’s identity is counted. Most bi & multi-identity individuals have het partners; g/l & straight adults often partner within their identity. #SOGIData

Me too! I LIKE editing something that is draft 3+; it is satisfying to make something pretty good better. I HATE writing 1st or 2nd draft; so painful. I try to overcome this tendency to revise the old instead of write the new by having some rule like write new stuff 1 hour a day.

Trump nominates Bureau of Labor Statistics critic to replace fired agency head E.J. Antoni, a staunch critic of the agency, had emerged in recent days as a favorite candidate among some influential Trump advisors, including Stephen K. Bannon. He has questioned the legitimacy of ...

When an AEI economist describes the conservative economist nominated to be the BLS head as “utterly unqualified and as partisan as it gets,” you know it’s bad.

I just finished a memo to reviewers for an R&R and just realized that it is 19 single-spaced pages long. Now I have to try to get that in half or more. Ugh.

This article by Franklin Foer filled in a lot of gaps for me. The goal is the destruction of the professional managerial class—the people who conduct scientific research, run libraries and museums, predict the weather, and monitor food safety. It is the Chinese Cultural Revolution for America.

"everything [they] say about what they’re doing is false, including what they say about their motivations. The ignorance and chaos are real, but you should never lose sight of the underlying thrust of their actions. For what’s happening... is an attempted autogolpe... a 'self-coup'"

I usually love horror films. They don't scare me, but in light of this new administration, this is the scariest frucking movie I have ever seen.

Our latest in JMF: US unmarried folks vote more for Dems than married since 1980. Biggest reason: higher % of married voters are white. Also, married folks are more religious-->voting against Dems (among whites). OA: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Figure showing number of school shootings per year since 2008

Just 2 days after the 12th anniversary of Sandy Hook, the US has its 83rd school shooting of the year, surpassing last year's record for the most school shootings.

This breaks my heart. And my heart will keep on breaking b/c the US won't change anything. www.cnn.com/us/live-news...

At the 1992 RNC convention, some delegates held up signs that said “Thank God for AIDS” and “Family Rights Forever/Gay Rights Never.” Not exactly as catchy as “Mass Deportations Now,” but just as dehumanizing.

Authorities in Tanzania stopped reporting COVID-19 cases very early in the pandemic, and stated that virus had been “eradicated”from country. An interesting serosurvey shows that SARS-COV2 kept spreading widely despite these official denials.

If you want to understand the far right, violent extremists, White Supremacists, and Christian nationalists, these are the journalists, researchers, academics, and other experts that monitor, research, and provide analysis on all the flavors of the far right and extremist movements.
