I haven't even started the interview part yet, but @marcmaron.bsky.social's breathless and hilarious rant about locking his keys in his car is one of the best antidotes to anxiety in these times I've heard..."I have control over nothing, but sometimes, there's ice cream." Amen brother.

great interview w/my brother: "With his signature precise, erudite sentences, he brings humor and lightness to otherwise bleak portraits of what it means to be a person. He’s a tightrope walker crossing a chasm of loneliness, doing cartwheels." @bombmag.bsky.social bombmagazine.org/articles/202...

Proud that Vassar's president has signed on to this long list of concerned academic leaders. A rational collective message for these seemingly irrational times...

Professor Peipei Qiu talked to students in Media Studies (and beyond) about her important work yesterday afternoon. What a privilege to hear how technology can give voice and humanity to those who have suffered and been silenced for so long. @vassar.bsky.social

Proud to see the president of my alma mater standing up for egalitarian values and exposing toxic hypocrisy, particularly at a time when few have the courage to speak out.

Antisemitism is real. But the enemy of our enemy is not necessarily our friend.
