Worlds gone to hell but our village is still next to a reindeer farm so at least I'm having a nice time.

Man, one of the most depressing aspects of modern scholarship is finding a great article and then looking up the scholar to see what else they’ve done and just catching a glimpse of an abbreviated career hopping between visiting positions and publishing great pieces before disappearing from academia
omg yes. Someone once forwarded me pictures of an academic who had, like, staged birth photos for their book? As if they had literally given birth to it? Fucked my whole week up.
I would block you for this but I want Max Bond updates
please god experience one thing in your life, perhaps even the miracle of birth, outside of the lens of your professional occupation.
I am once again asking academics who introduce their newborns to the world as "their first co-authored publication" or equivalent: who hurt you and why are you like this?
Total. Fucking. Prick. Total prick. Just the biggest prick. Take a long walk of a short fucking pier levels of prick.
The first thing about Hegseth is that he's a fucking prick and the second thing about Hegseth is that he's a fucking prick and the third thing
they double-tapped a fucking girls elementary school

This is one of the most important cases that galvanized Black people in the late 40s through the 1950s. Almost every major Black leader had a comment about it. It is also one of the most successful defense committees that was organized in the 20th century. Almost no one knows about it today.
If everything goes to plan, one of the next books in our Black Press Studies series with JHUP will be exploring how the Black Press covered this trial and the subsequent campaign to free Rosa Lee Ingram and her sons.
Incredible name though.
It is currently 'packs of coyotes walking across the Charles River' cold outside.
