also had multiple students ask where the second midterm grade was.... like it's in the same place where the first midterm grade was posted....

like email me again and you are gonna get the same "it is listed on the assignment sheet" a million different ways

On the left, a photo of the cover of SURVIVAL AT TREBLINKA. On the right, the words "AVAILABLE NOW" and two blurbs: “Innovative and revelatory. A superb example of first-rate scholarship that expertly blends theory with historical evidence to expose the wider context of Jewish agency, both male and female, by those who enabled and conducted this iconic act of Jewish resistance under the most extreme circumstances.” — Edward B. Westermann. “Through his exploration of the role that masculinity played in the resistance, Gibbs is able to uncover the hitherto almost completely ignored subject of women’s experiences at Treblinka. This is an extraordinary feat and one that is genuinely exciting.” — Zoë Waxman

My college's little medical humanities honors program just sent one alumni off to Harvard medical school, one grauating senior just got a Fulbright, and a host of others are off to grad school & medical school. If you weren't paying attention, you might miss the wonderful work that non-Ivies can do.

A photo of a woman. She is holding her hands on some surface that is not visible. She has her hair covered with some scarf in dots. She also is wearing a vest, a short sleeve shirt in strips, and an apron. She is turning her her to the back to look at the camera.

In other words, AI resentment maps pretty directly to how precarious your job situation is. For Gen Z, this is the worst entry level job market in decades; no wonder they hate AI, which they are routinely told is the reason why there's no work. The rich, meanwhile, are just fine with more automation

Here a grandmother is forced to do a gig job with no job security because she can’t afford to retire? What are we celebrating here?

Faces of Exile Fine Cut YouTube video by Micah Paszek

Highly recommend this amazing panel on the persecution and forced exile of homosexual men in fascist Italy! This is such an important but under-researched topic made all the more relevant by our current social and political situation. youtu.be/bHlHm-2FvUM

I missed this from @phineas.bsky.social when it originally came out but it sure feels relevant at the moment.

Also, you can buy this as a print from the artist here:
