Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.

While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

Yesterday I was chatting with a colleague who researches AI who asked me why I think so many scholars—especially humanists, but not exclusively—are so skeptical about/hostile to it. We ended up having a lovely, generous, & genuinely curious discussion, a few moments of which seem worth summarizing+

I learned today that Ohio State faculty can’t put a land acknowledgement statement in their syllabus and that we can’t ask students to voluntarily disclose their pronouns. #firstamendment #ohiostate

The Columbus Dispatch picked up the story about OSU’s ban on chalking, and our criticism of the policy. Chalking is a traditional way for students to express thoughts and creativity publicly. This restriction undermines free speech and open dialogue, crucial for a vibrant academic community.

"I understand the administration is against DEI. Respectfully, I just don't know what you mean. This isn't a teasing question. There has to be some working definition.

This is research to advance healthcare for all our citizens."
