While I use this account to post about my world-building, I realize that most of my time is spent reading. Either for work, school, or entertainment, I spend a great deal of time reading, so I plan to start cataloging the many different books I read as a grad student/researcher/bookworm. #booksky
This continent is currently in the early Bronze Age. In the world, it is 1 Ine, the first portal has just been accidentally created on a continent to the west. Many things will soon change for these groups in the centuries to come.

Big win for stopping book bans:
In a major win for intellectual freedom, a judge rules against Florida law that led to removing hundreds of books from school libraries.
“None Of These Books Are Obscene.”

This week, I decided to revisit my favorite Orwell Novel, The Road to Wigan Pier, as it is such an interesting piece for any social scientist or those who study labor/capitalist history.

I've made more and more changes to my world over the months, so here is a small part of what I've been working on. The states/cultural groups in the year the portals were created within the Academies of Gressus. #fantasy #maps #worldbuilding #writing

So I just finished the first three volumes of Skip and Loafer by Misaki Takamatsu, and I really enjoyed them. In an attempt to challenge myself, I decided I would not just cover academic work here since that is what I am most comfortable speaking on, so here we go. #books #booksky #manga #anime

Not exaggerating when I say I would like a personal, handwritten apology from every pundit who barfed out a dozen "the left wants to change the way you talk!" op-eds based on non-mandatory guidelines in obscure PDFs.

WHERE IS THE FUCKING MONEY GOING
Faculty salaries have gone down very sharply over the past couple of generations, if you count the half of the faculty that does two-thirds of the teaching in higher ed as actual faculty www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2024/12/the-...

Yes! This story needs to be told. Dumping of history majors is incredibly short sighted. When administrators do this, they're revealing their ignorance of the discipline and its value across careers.
Moderating a panel of past History majors, telling our current students about the career paths they took — from politics and law to cultural work and consulting. Really impressive, and that’s with a Pulitzer Prize winning reporter missing due to being sick.
