my grandma has late-stage dementia and my brother is experiencing psychosis in jail and it seems like all I do is worry about what’s happening to them, and no one can tell me nytimes.com/2021/02/19/opi…
is this a good enough reason to start a gofundme instead of going to the trouble of creating a grift
sure why not gofundme.com/f/no-grift-inv…
I just think there’s virtue in honesty

there are four other colleges with libraries RIGHT near smith and several more within an hour's drive, surely one of them would have taken in a rapping librarian
didn't this gal know how to send out a resume?
would working at the mount holyoke library not have been as rewarding as working at smith, "her dream job"?

here’s our working-class Jodi nytimes.com/2008/09/07/fas…
@RobynElyse @dedecrim @amelianewburg
In 2016, Jodi referred to living on ~$45,000 as “wealth,” so I’m not sure the Pioneer Valley is so grim olos.ala.org/sustainrt/2016…

the thing abt the Smiff stuff (/all these crises) is that I do sometimes hear things that give me pause—someone made a bad decision or whatever—but there’s no way to critique parts of this story & the way she adds them up. you’re supposed to reject or accept the whole thing.
For example, I think telling a diverse group of employees that they must talk about their personal experiences of race in a shared setting is a bad model! But it doesn’t mean diversity training ITSELF is bad. It was badly done.
She’s also hitched the story to an incident that actually isn’t related to what happened to her. It just happened shortly before her rap career was unceremoniously ended.

the reason we are in an education crisis is because teachers with training and experience cannot be easily, much less instantly, replaced. that’s partly why they have a level of input into their labor conditions that everyone else seems to find offensive.
another reason is labor unions, which many people who should know better also find offensive.
where are the parents staging pressure campaigns on local and state leaders who make other decisions about opening businesses?

narrator: this is not what she said
one doesn’t have to like a school of theory but framing its popularity or dominance as “its adherents think ‘black people are inherently infallible’” seems like a reach?
that’s absurd and offensive and obviously forecloses the possibility of like, countering the ~criticism
