the US govt has mounted a repeal of the right to culture. There is simply no other way to understand dismantling Dept of Ed, PBS, NPR, NEH, NEA + IMLS, defunding universities, censorship of artists, attack on equal access to institutions,+ erosion of free speech.

The United States government’s coordinated repeal of the right to culture has grave consequences for the texture of our daily lives. But there are ways to fight back.

And this is why blue dot cities throughout NC are incredible places to live. Lots of old towns that are now walkable, tons of parks, quality schools, and job opportunities.

We’re being held hostage by the rural areas we financially support.

Basic literacy problem
I tutor third graders, highly doubt many adults read at that level, or read at all.
Hard to learn things when curiosity (and caring about others) ceased during Reagan administration

Your evergreen rolling contracts is unbelievably good idea, wish it were broadly applied. My experience is that people sitting on tenure today, who would never ever be interviewed let alone hired, will block. Saw an attempt to use evergreen contracts but school did not comply

Barbara @19thgrade.bsky.social · 5d

Works well except for the tenured profs who only teach Tues-Thurs between 10a-2p, do no advising/mentoring, haven’t published anything since getting tenure, but have all the voting power and use it to block change

Happy Birthday to my favorite veteran, drinking buddy, and roommate, and also to USN
One looks pretty good for 250, the other is visiting colleges with offspring today. Cocktails on the porch to follow
