Opinion | The New Julia Roberts Movie Seethes With Anti-Woke Resentment

@lindaholmes.bsky.social just listened to your conversation about After the Hunt and kept thinking of this column www.nytimes.com/2025/10/13/o...

That makes sense but it definitely seemed worth it as the conversion really illustrated the vulnerabilities of grading and how much it matters to work toward better approaches!

This was the sweetest little episode. So fun and compassionate with lovely ideas to share. Thanks to you and @bonni208.bsky.social and your special guest ⭐️ !

Catalina. The new one by Villavicencio is great too. Often funny!

I loved listening to Margo’s Got Money Troubles. And the wonderfully funny podcasts If Books Could Kill, Text Me Back, Maintenance Phase, and Normal Gossip always make me laugh 😂

Yes, just wasn't sure if you knew about this specific app. Sorry. I know my library has it's own app and then Libby is another one. Perhaps that is just mine.

The Libby app!

This book is getting lots of love and should get lots more! It is truly so good and so needed at this point in time. Thank you @liznorell.bsky.social for providing us with a way to think about where we are right now and how to move forward.

Thanks for the suggestion!

It's amazing* how so many people who should know better have just cast aside any pretense of critical thinking and jumped headfirst onto the hype wagon.

*it's not, I guess, but still

So glad you liked it! I also really loved Margo’s Got Money Trouble. Plus the main character is a college student 🙂

At large online colleges, students struggle to earn degrees Fewer than half of students at the largest nonprofit online institutions earn a degree after eight years. Is it an unfortunate reality or a cry for accountability?

I just wrote a long thread about being treated as unreliable in the professional sphere; this describes the horrific way victims are discredited and dismissed in campus rape. Very different subjects/seriousness, but it's the same problem of not being treated as credible/ competent when you speak up.

But it’s not about the people. It’s about the systems they are stuck with. Oklahomans are not stupid. The systems are designed to ensure these outcomes.

Part of fighting back is being both intentional, accurate, and forceful with our language.

So anti-woke, anti-DEI efforts and activists? Especially when those efforts result in demonstrably lower numbers of qualified Black people the ranks?

Start calling these folks pro-segregation.

An Airing of Grievances: Grading Edition In which my colleagues and I observe a Festivus tradition

For my last Substack post of the year: a Festivus-style “airing of grievances” and an experiment with podcasting! In this episode, @josheyler.bsky.social, @liznorell.bsky.social, and I share all the ways grades have let us down over the past year. emilypittsdonahoe.substack.com/p/an-airing-...

i am pretty confident that it will soon become the law that any effort to remedy racial inequality, private or public, will be illegal anti-white discrimination. fairness is, of course, when our institutions are lily white and male

I was in a workshop last week where, with a straight face, the speaker put up a slide listing all the recent “innovations” that were supposed to revolutionize edu and said, “AI will be different! This time, it will work!”

My eyes almost rolled out of my head.

"The list names an Army officer who traveled to 14 historically Black colleges to expand recruitment"

Since these people are literally using "woke" to mean "entertained the thought of hiring a Black person," opposition to DEI, affirmative action, etc. should be understood as support for segregation

2024 Contingent Book List When you’re shopping for books this season, consider a contingent scholar.

What does it mean to write a book as a contingent scholar? It means to do something that's already hard enough on its own, but also to do it without the (admittedly eroding) supports of full-time tenure-track employment--time, funding, library access, and a steady job.
