Last night's #XmenTAS watch brings us plenty of killer gifs, starting with a supercut of Rogue kicking ass, because we deserve it. 👊💥 @xmentas
everyone's faces when they hear X-Men '97 is gonna be a thing
but you still gotta sit through relatives' hot takes over the holidays
me popping in when someone asks about that incredibly niche thing I do
relentlessly sending memes to the crew all day like
furiously waiting for X-men '97 to drop

When people ask why I continue to give talks about Ramseyer, this is why. Under the guise of defending "academic freedom" and "viewpoint diversity" (now dog whistles), people defending denialism, exploitation, and harassment are digging in their heels. thecrimson.com/article/2023/4…
Does it surprise anyone that these are names attached to the membership of this Council on Academic Freedom? Image
As my colleagues and I have written in numerous places, the issue at hand with Ramseyer was not "academic freedom" but academic integrity. Knowing the difference is crucial. They are a broken record. apjjf.org/2021/22/Curtis…

Okay, so #Receptiogate is trending in multiple countries. If you missed the beginning of this (still unfolding) drama over plagiarized research, fake research institutes, and medieval manuscripts, here's a compilation to get you started with your bowl of popcorn. ⬇️🍿
There's so many subthreads and additions to various things from the Twitter community that I'll inevitably miss some stuff stuff (and some is slightly out of chronological order), but here it goes!
This began with Peter Kidd (@mssprovenance), an independent scholar, finding that portions of his work on his blog and in other formal published venues had been taken without credit by a woman named Carla Rossi of Receptio. He wrote about it on his blog:

Premodern historian here. No. Slavery absolutely existed in Japan for centuries. There were various forms of unfreedom experienced by Japanese as well as Chinese, Koreans, and likely others in various time periods. Bondage that was linked to debt, that was hereditary, etc. 🧵
These forms of unfreedom are associated with a number of different terms, but some include nuhi 奴婢, or genin 下人. William Wayne Farris has pointed out that in the 8th and 9th centuries Japanese society comprised 5-10% slaves (nuhi) "whose families could be broken up by sale."
In the medieval period, we actually get an article in the first warrior law code, the 1232 Goseibai shikimoku, with explicit stipulations on when one could legally dispute ownership of their nuhi (which I translate here as bound servant) and how to divide their children.

For those scratching your head at the latest Hot Take™ about academic presentations, some transparency 🧵: as an early career scholar I am typically offered somewhere between $100~$500 for a 1.5 hour talk + Q&A. Average maybe $300. 1 hour class lectures usually less, maybe $200.
The most I've been offered for a single lecture session is $500, to my recollection (an Ivy). SLACs often (apologetically) can only offer somewhere between $150-250. Same with NPOs. Smaller schools & NPOs usually have fewer funds & could *never* offer something like $3.5k (lol).
Sometimes they can cobble together $100 here & there from different departments/centers in order to offer more than an individual unit could otherwise. One SLAC asking me to do a big lecture + a class visit + a mentoring session managed to string together $750, but that's rare.
