My favorite genre of airport people is the Important Business Dudes walking up and down the concourse having phone conversations, but they're wearing earbuds or airpods and look like they're talking with themselves.
"The numbers are too high right now, Tim. That's just where we are right now."
-This dude next to me, loudly.
Oh good he's right across the aisle from me on the plane.

Watching fascism in real time via my Instagram feed. What a time to be alive. Image
What's awesome about having this tweet do numbers is all the apologists for authoritarianism jumping in to show me screenshots of what they insist are gay sex manuals being distributed to elementary kids age and saying "see? This is why we need to crack down." Just awesome.
Let me be clear: this is literally the Nazi playbook. Find an outlier example, strip it of context in order to provide shock value, and use it justify an "anti-obscenity" crusade that just happens to end up emptying libraries completely and burning most of the books.

Let's stop awarding the presidency of major professional orgs to senior big-name scholars at "elite" universities like it's the lifetime achievement award for the local Rotary Club. /1
In every historical org I belong to, the election slate is determined by a nominations committee, and I can't remember an occasion where more than one name has been on the ballot for either president or president-elect. Thus these positions are not really chosen by the members./2
And no offense to the many good scholars and capable folks who have served in these offices, but there is no guarantee that we get the most qualified/best choice to lead our organizations. One might argue we get good officers in spite of, not because of, the processes in place /3

I am sure the author of this piece intended to emphasize the eagerness and acuity with which their inmate students approach learning. But holy hell this piece is a mess, and in our current climate, maybe saying college should emulate aspects of prison is not the best strategy
Most prison educators: college education is at least one way we can make these barbaric carceral institutions slightly more human

This op-ed: lol whatever college students should be like prisoners, under a stifling discipline that makes them desperate for any humanity whatsoever
How do we make the neoliberal university less suffocatingly inhumane? Probably not by emulating the carceral conditions that make learners desperately clutch at any crumb of knowledge like it's oxygen and they're drowning

Good morning to everyone seeing MLK Day as an opportunity for reflection and critique. If you're tired of just hearing that one line from that one speech thrown at you by people who would absolutely have liked James Earl Ray more than MLK in 1968, check these things out: 🧵🧵
My favorite collection of King's works, with a great introduction/meditation by Cornel West: bookshop.org/p/books/the-ra…
Peter Dreier's excellent assessment of the radical King: commondreams.org/views/2021/12/…

Lol Scott Perry just admitted structural racism exists
Referring to Donalds's background, and then declaring that in our society "not all outcomes are equal"
That's a core argument of critical race theory, my dude
