Unfort true. 😩

There have been *so many* Academia[dot]edu warning signs over the past decade; I’m glad these new terms of service — claiming world rights to your work, your voice, your likeness, your signature, etc — are driving even more people away. May it advance the Ed Tech Luddite Revolution ✊

And one could argue that the US right now is not a democracy.

RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.
