tonight i’m thinking about the academics, loved ones, and colleagues that have inspired me to do better. i finally decided to turn around me to see how far i’d walked. and it’s farther than i thought.
back on bluesky. masters’ apps are a bitch and a half and i have to rely on my school’s food bank because my former employer essentially lied to me and forced me to quit 🥲👍 i don’t know how other aspiring academics are doing it tbh, this field and every other just feels so hopeless.

you can’t bring about a revolution if you can’t run a mile or take out the trash! i don’t care if it’s not a woke take idc you can’t bring about change if you cannot maintain the most basic form of discipline in your own life. there. i said it!

The University of Oklahoma has now put a second instructor on leave, this time for telling students they would be excused from class on Friday to attend a protest in support of trans graduate student instructor Mel Curth after *she* was unfairly put on leave.
Yeah, that'll fucking fix it, guys.

New cool example of hybrid print-digital publishing.
Those interested in the recurrent shifts of cultural appreciation/specific need re: print media <––> digital media, consider reading my book!

404 Media is making a print zine about the surveillance tactics used by ICE, and how people are resisting this tech.
Why? Print media is cool. Also, 404 Media has watched ICE grow from an already horrifying organization into a deportation force that is better funded than most militaries.

OU firing a trans professor over giving this an appropriate grade is still enraging me. Mind you, another professor agreed that it deserved a 0.
Zero citations, under the word count, grammar mistakes galore, and not relevant to the prompt.
Fuck OU.
