Don't write for Substack while it platforms Neo-Nazis;

"Coho salmon fishes are a delicious autumn treat"

Doing good thinking & strong work today on how interdisciplinarity was absorbed into exchange value.

Truly readymade for Adorno-driven critique of the language of (research) administration.

The better way—interdisciplinarity as pure use value—is the only path forward for #HigherEd

Jane Goodall's work insisting, with evidence from her brilliant and tenacious fieldwork, that we were not so separate from animals, and they were much more like us than the Eurocentric theorists asserted, was so important.

Even so, they surely can do better.

🤦, US #vueltaespana commentary

Cycling is a historically left sport

Supporters standing visibly with Palestine, especially when Peacock coverage amplifies, has a history

This calls for more clear & direct commentary than this sentence👇

"Ongoing Mideast Crisis rearing its presence being known"

More of this.

I started reading the list of Bucknell English dept faculty. I don't think I know any irl or on here but every single bio lists a current book project or a/many published book/s--expected, presumably, for tenure. Will Bucknell--upon closing Bucknell UP--stop expecting their own fac to publish books?
