When the super rich and famous Caribbeans give A LOT to education and the arts, I may convert to the current cult-like adoration. Like I would not mind teaching at the Cardi B Free University or the Bad Bunny Center for the study of race. Until then though please just no more. #jalta

They don’t care about our degrees, they don’t care about our talents or how many books we’ve written. I remember my first year as Professor at UGA a student told me, after lecture, she thought I was the cleaning lady, “I only used to see you people in those jobs. Good for you”.

Dear faculty teaching first gen, immigrant, Black, queer and trans students, your main job is to make your classroom a safe space. Educate yourself on your rights to protect your students. Remember in most states your classroom and your office are private spaces you get to decide who enters.

Let's be clear: no one should be taking medical advice from the man who told Americans to inject bleach.

To moms worried about the Tylenol they took while pregnant: you deserve better than being RFK Jr's scapegoat.

And to the autism community: you are loved exactly as you are.
