Hopefully @bostonu.bsky.social realizes there’s no going back now.
Boston University, where I teach, has been taking down Pride Flags from faculty and office windows because of a new “content neutral” ban on public-facing flags and banners.
This is a bad policy that infringes on free speech. Faculty are protesting. Today the President defended these actions. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Upside of being dept chair is that you can plant an idea like this in your Spanish colleagues’ heads and then it happens!
@parisnoire.bsky.social @drsepinwall.bsky.social !?
Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."
My son did this too at one point last year! Did they see it on TikTok or something??
I love this! Gives me hope! I have been focused on shorter, slow reading due to current realities, but I love the idea of starting slow as cultivating a practice and building to more.
Fellow chairs, what are your practical tips for not spending all day everyday batting away emails? I need some strategies to get my actual work done
Brainstorming in class is a good idea. I am having them do in- class writing. I’m also going to try to work with them on an AI policy, which I think will help me understand better how they use it. There’s an extra level with teaching in French as they use it to translate & it’s very good now
And what are your secrets for actually preventing it from happening??

Merry Christmas! My state of the field essay on the history of sexuality in Modern France was published in open access yesterday by @frenchhistory.bsky.social. Check it out at academic.oup.com/fh/advance-a...
Bravo, Andrew. What a thoughtful - and helpful- essay!
Omg congrats Joe! A fun fact about me is that my bff and I dominated the all county HS social studies fair in 1989 with our original play written from perspective of Tom P’s housemaids. We still quote it.
Moral dilemma alert: I want to cancel my subscription but getting the paper version of the Sunday times on Saturday is how I know I’m a real New Yorker. Pls advise!

Just a reminder, for any of you kids who need to see it, good writing does not emerge seamlessly in the first draft. Feedback is the best and moving everything around is often part of the process.
