Momo, a grey and white tuxedo cat, lays on his side in a box, staring up with vacant eyes an his mouth open.
A couple of days ago, Momo decided to self-medicate, breaking into a bag of “calming treats.”
The outcome:

Some things never change… do they?
Found on the back of a Kipp Dawson letter circa 1985.
Hampshire College to close permanently after fall 2026 semester Emma McCorkindale
While Hampshire’s case is in some ways unique, it is amazing to think that in a single lifetime - about 70 years - the US founded the greatest public and liberal arts college system in the world and then destroyed it, to build prisons, give tax cuts to the rich, and own the libs
Firestorm was the epicenter of locally-led mutual aid after Helene. @distributeaid.org wouldn't have had such a successful response if @firestorm.coop didn't bring the community together first.
Please support them. They are far more to the Ashville community than just another radical bookstore.

Red States: We're going to cut all the programs that don't support our theology
Blue States: We're going to cut the same programs, but because they don't support the business school
I've officially been working on my PhD long enough to watch students I taught in first-year writing get accepted into graduate programs themselves. If anyone needs me, I'll be in my rocking chair.
Man, one of the most depressing aspects of modern scholarship is finding a great article and then looking up the scholar to see what else they’ve done and just catching a glimpse of an abbreviated career hopping between visiting positions and publishing great pieces before disappearing from academia
Zuko, a black and white tuxedo cat, gives a side eye to the camera while laying on his back with paws in diva position.
I was reading aloud an essay to myself (as one does) and caught Zuko listening. Clearly, he is not convinced by my claims.
So apparently grammarly stole my fuckin identity

I guess this is a tapestry? A framed piece made of ovoid shapes in multiple colors of fabric
Little fans made of an array of fabrics in different colors
A quilt of mini quilts, with each tiny square in a white frame and the larger assemblage in a black frame
A grid of translucent cream fabrics arranged into geometric assemblages

I used to live in El Paso (which gives me zero insight into this) but I want to make a basic point because most US Americans have never been there: this is a large city of almost 700,000 people. It’s in the top 25 for the country. More than twice Pittsburgh and more than Milwaukee, for example
"Of the 12 individuals who graduated from the program over the last five years, all 12 were able to secure stable employment. Furthermore, 11 were able to secure a job at a higher education institution across the country, filling roles as lecturers, assistant professors, and faculty."
“Defending the university is not about defending the institution itself, but rather understanding the institution as a condition of possibility for other things to emerge.”
a scorcher 🔥
Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich
Life under fascism is making me really nostalgic for the old days of life under protofascism.
People keep wanting to shove "learning about A.I." into the curriculum when what we really need is learning about power and how it works.
“There is no more “state of the humanities” as such. There is no condition in which the humanities are under attack in which the whole university is not under attack..And there is no condition in which education is under attack in which civil society can remain unimperiled..We are all humanists now”
I had a lot of fun writing this short piece for @lawcha.bsky.social about Severance! Read it here today: read.dukeupress.edu/labor/articl...
