The slow destruction of my fair University of Iowa by a bunch of Iowa State CAFO-loving hog sellers (can’t stomach calling them ”farmers”) has been hard to watch. If things in Des Moines ever reset, I have no doubt Johnson County will run these idiots out on a rail.

Opinion | Beware conservatives promoting “intellectual freedom” Victor Ray: This conservative lie about schools like mine is furthering authoritarianism

Making tenure count, for MSNOW I wrote about my employer, The University of Iowa, creating a center for intellectual freedom. It's a reactionary project built on decades of conservative propaganda about higher ed.

I thought this was about farmers but I’ll allow it.

What a shitty fucking week.

Feeling ill, annoy

Whenever I listen to Nick Cave and I nod along thinking “I dig this, Nick Cave, man”, I immediately feel old.

"iterativeness"

“[If] the Council must delay its process, the vote will be on June 16, Primary Election day.”

Literally one of the reasons I’m into computers is because I had a hard time with cursive, had to get evaluated, and a takeaway for elementary teachers was “let him use a keyboard.”
