“Here is where I have spent of good part of my time.” 1908 RPPC of Hayes Hall at Ohio State. From Ferd to the folks back home.

A lot of Harper's article was written from a perspective of ignorance, whether that's ignorance of the actual deal with the RPPC proposal or of academic labor and race dynamics that we've been fighting about for ages
Andrew Baker was also a “token black professor” at Bates College. But his perspective on the events Tyler Austin Harper recounts in his Atlantic cover story is very different. Read Baker’s side of the story online today.

The RPPC, on the other hand, really does seem like a large, poorly thought-out set of changes, though it's not quite as absurd as TAH makes it sound. There are plenty of good ways to discuss how race and colonialism intersect with science, and we should teach them more!

Most of what TAH says about his time at Bates is standard leftist critique of performative liberal DEI ratcheted up a few orders of magnitude by the extreme examples he details, especially hiring and the RPPC. Everything else you could have read in a blog from 2012 (like I did)

Having a great time nerding out and shooting “instant” photos with @isaacblomqvist.bsky.social for the #ShittyCameraChallenge

I think the #InstantBoxCam qualifies 3 ways despite being “LF”!:

1. The ur “instant” cam
2. Dead format: (RPPC/plates/ftypes)
3. Crazy hard to use/insane process = 💩🎞️

😅😅🤷‍♂️

Hey Rppc

Every detail in these images tells a tragedy… The exhausted eyes, the pale faces, and the cracked lips caused by hunger and thirst. These children do not need pity… they need someone to stand with them now. 😭💔
