I hope everyone who didnt bother to show up b/c Harris was complicit in genocide against Palestinians pats themselves on the back. Instead of giving the Black woman a chance to prove she could do better in charge, now *you're* complicit in even more genocides. May you have the sweetest dreams

This is genocide, too, y'all. Nearly 1 million BIPOC globally have died already from this policy with an estimated 9.4 million deaths to come by the end of this term. One of 100 reasons why I mute accounts that refuse to acknowledge and take accountability for the harm they promoted in Nov. 2024.

I've been thinking about JJ every day, still shocked that he's gone 📚

“I think we need unions so that we can be in solidarity with the other folks on our campus. So that we have a seat at the table when our university is making really important decisions about how to respond to all of the things that we’ve been talking about here today.”

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

If I had a magic wand for creating a new major DH award, it'd be The Maintainers-style for steadfastly keeping useful things alive longer than you'd have imagined possible. Then I'd lobby for Simon Wiles to win it first for ORBIS.

Wanna introduce Roman trade to your class 🌍? I’ve noted it before but 1 of the most engaged activities I do all year is to have students make budgets from a salary I give them & using prices from Diocletian’s Price Edict (301 CE). Then they have to figure out how to ship it using Orbis.Stanford.edu.

But it’s also true that these systems are just misogynistic. And we’re so busy holding victims to an impossibly high standard that we forget to ask the most basic questions about whether people like police did their jobs effectively.

In the age of technology, we all expect that every conversation will be recorded. But that isn’t true. A lot of records come from the recollections of someone in a position of power. And we know that investigators—including police and Title IX—severely overestimate the amount of false allegations.

Socially and in the legal system, our understanding of responses to sexual violence is purposefully uninformed and therefore limited to only “perfect” victims (who don’t really exist), so that we don’t have to actually combat sexual violence or believe victims or hold perpetrators accountable.

With everything we know about white men and murder, throughout the nation’s history, get this— —Never has a wealthy white man ever sat on Death Row much less been executed for a crime, in the U.S. Not one. I kid you not.

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

A.S.K., a librarian reposted

a lot of people act like there's a trade being offered where we give up trans athletes in sports and in exchange fascism is defeated forever
