This @nytimes.com article made me dumber. I feel like these people are why the apocalypse is nigh.

April Fools. I meant the second rockwall.
Colleges should be mandated to pay adjunct faculty a living wage before they build their third rockwall.

Non-tenure-track contract faculty at NYU went on strike this morning after over a year of bargaining (capped by a 24-hour+ marathon session). Big crowd of @uaw.org members and supporters, incl lots of students.
They’re picketing over pay, workload, AI, a voice in faculty governance, & more.
See y'all at 12:10 in 307. Adjuncts and Allies.

Is this a PR piece? You kinda missed the story of this being an attempt to undo the mess of Patel/Trump. Did CAA write it?
Most adjuncts go 5 to 7 weeks at the beginning of the semester, every semester, before their first paycheck.
My further concern was the first article's complete absence of contingent labor in a conversation about labor.
Maybe you could mention adjunctification, as @drkevinrmcclure.com seems to have ignored it.
I’m too sad to write any Sunday Feeld Notes today because hockey broke my heart. If it broke yours, maybe read this instead to remind us that the beauty of sports exists outside of the spotlight.

The Ethos of Eephus
Eephus sees sport not as a cultural commodity, but a community engagement, and the simplicity of its framing [...] finds the beauty in the relationship baseball has not just to its participants and onlookers, but the landscape of the country.

Super Bowl Sunday Feeld Notes 8.2.26
I’m going to make chili and cheer for a tie. Wouldn’t we all just rather watch Kid Rock and Bad Bunny in a celebrity boxing match?
My Super Bowl column/self-indictment: open.substack.com/pub/mikespry...
Honestly, f*ck all these people. F*ck these colleges. F*ck the institutions and communities that were complicit in this division of class and the perpetuation of evil.

Sunday Feeld Notes 01.02.2026
So many feelings this week: Loving @thedollop.bsky.social, Sophie Turner and Steal, not SNL, not the weather, and not the Super Bowl. Plus, last week's and this week's essays.
