you can tell you are passionate about communications and media in general, and it motivates me to want to do better as a scholar and communications professional."

I'm crying

Can I brag for a sec? I asked students in a mid-semester eval what I can do to improve the class and one of them wrote:
"Just continue to be yourself, because you are an amazing professor, one of the more inspiring professors I have ever had, (-->)

Me: after I drop you in school, I have to run get food, then run to a meeting, then run to teach...

Daughter (4): but running is so fun!

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Sometimes I get so upset at all my open tabs I just close them all. I'm not sure this is a healthy relationship.

I got a paper cut from aluminum foil and it funking hurts.
Just thought you all should know and act accordingly.

As a junior faculty, I would email senior faculty to reach out and make connections. Their advice and attention were super valuable in my TT journey. Now, as a senior faculty, I'm reaching out to junior faculty to connect with them. Helpful or intimidating?

Today I'm taking off my sabbatical "out-of-office" reply, and the only goal I didn't get to during my short one-semester sabbatical was organizing the cluster drawers.

Shouldn't our writing mean something?

The state of humanities funding in the US is shocking. For every $1000 the feds spend on research, humanities receive a $1.30 🤯

Of the ~$54 billion in research the federal govt funds in U.S. higher ed, only $69 million goes to the humanities (=0.13% of fed total) www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth.

The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

Small and mean? That's.... just wow. Smh.

I can't believe there's people finding out about THE ODYSSEY because of the new Nolan film and complaining about spoilers. Sir please it was written almost 3000 years ago what spoilers are you talking about.
