I'm not sure if people realize the murder strikes are taking place across a large region. It's quite staggering.

Actual search in my field: Global Ancient Art, Architecture, and Material Culture, Assistant Professor (TT) Africa, Asia, the Americas, or Europe | Bronze Age (ca. 3000-1200 BCE) to around 400-600 CE or, in the case of a scholar of pre-Columbian art, up to the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries
I have so much empathy and solidarity for those struggling with the painful and structurally unjust academic labor market, but this racial grievance shit is simply not the way.

Wait…omg…this entire anecdote I mean argument is premised on the experience of someone who DIDN’T EVEN ATTEMPT THE MARKET????
I literally applied to hundreds of jobs over seven or eight years before getting a TT job offer.

I don't know about academia anymore but when I was on the job market one of my friends got a pretty good job and the white guy didn't and they opened a second line so they could also hire the white guy.

Dems are like "it's with a heavy heart that I voted to codify trans segregation, but it had to be done so Pete Hegseth can keep murdering fisherman in South America."

Gillibrand and Schumer must resign. We cannot wait for primary challenges that are years away. We need to start organizing for their resignations.
Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

Gov. JB Pritzker signs 'right-to-die' legislation for terminally ill people to end their lives in Illinois
The new law, which takes effect next September, opens the door for people 18 or older with a terminal diagnosis to be prescribed a fatal drug.

I will say it once again: Mr. Rogers was talking to children when he said "look for the helpers." If you're an adult, you're the helper you're looking for.

25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

Religion note: Remember that pastor who was arrested protesting an ICE detention facility outside Chicago recently? The one who was photographed on the ground as officers arrested him?
That's Rev. Michael Woolf, and this is his church.

It sucks that meeting a new class now involves not just going over the syllabus, setting expectations, and trying to establish a rapport, but also trying to deduce whether any of your new students are vigilante right wing operatives out to seek viral controversy at the expense of your job
If you are a chair of a department or supervise grad students, it might be important to collaborate with your colleagues on ways to strategize when a "problem essay" comes down the pike. It's one small way of protecting each other.
