Hi Evan. It's adorable that you think this perpetuates patriarchal norms. Let me explain in detail why I do this, and why I'm not going to stop doing it: (1/4)
I used to be fine with students using my first name. And then I started talking with female colleagues who found that their students were far more likely to use their first name in interactions, diminishing their authority. (2/4)
Furthermore, they also told me that male profs who act super-casual about this are part of the problem, since students then think, "Why can't I call her Mary is I can call that prof Dan?" So maybe, Evan, you're actually part of the problem? (3/4)

Beginning in March 2020, I started monthly diary entries about life under COVID-19. With the pandemic functionally over in New England, yesterday was the last entry. Here’s a thread of the month-by-month emotional reactions:

March 2020: fear and anger. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/0…
April 2020: anger and loathing. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/0…
May 2020: frustration and caprice. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/0…

Hi, senior faculty person here who has occasionally said something approximating this. Dr. Liu is mostly correct, but the key is context (1/5)...
If someone asks me about pursuing a Ph.D., I behave like a rabbi responding to someone who wants to convert to Judaism: I explain why it’s a bad, bad idea for so many reasons (2/5)
If someone is in a Ph.D. program, I will tell them to follow their passion when writing their dissertation. That’s not because everything works out if they do, but the odds of it working out if they don’t are way lower (3/5)

<— finally watching Tenet.
I get the feeling that “don’t try to understand it” is going to be the best way to enjoy this film.
Oh thank goodness I was wondering when Michael Caine showed up.

I guess this will have to do until ARMY OF THE DEAD comes out.
Oh FFS...
UPDATE: I’ve made it through Part I. So far it’s... okay. Not great, not awful. But as @Yair_Rosenberg noted it’s weird to call this the Snyder Cut since he that would imply he’s cut something.

1) Yesterday I wrote about a recent dust-up at the @AtlanticCouncil. Give it a read: washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/0…
2) Today @elianayjohnson has a @FreeBeacon story on the exact same thing. Give it a read as well: freebeacon.com/national-secur…
3) Johnson is a good reporter and probably talked to more think tank folks, but I would suggest that the facts presented in both pieces are pretty much the same. What’s different is the interpretation of those facts.
