Currently reading a book called Class Struggle Unionism, and I would encourage all labor-focused folks to look into this framework.

The Israeli regime is fascist and genocidal. The population supports the regime's actions at more than 80% in most polls. You don't have to argue with people online when these are facts.

Thank you! It was my first time presenting at CCCC, so it really does feel like a milestone in more ways than one.

Having just presented a paper that I’ve been building for the last year, it’s good to be reminded of this. Sharing the work felt anticlimactic in a way, but that’s only one small step in a much longer process.

The mist has finally cleared in Cleveland and I can see Lake Erie from my hotel room. This is incredible. I have spent my whole life near water, both the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean. This is much more akin to the ocean, which is absolutely mind blowing.

Look folks, say whatever you want about conferences. But I just met someone I’ve been internet friends with for like a decade in person for the first time and it was awesome.

It was me! Just saying that I snagged a copy of Adequate and am super stoked to check it out. Looks like it very much aligns with a lot of things that I'm interested in / working on.

All right Cleveland friends and #4C26 folks: where’s a good spot for lunch near the convention center?

That was right around the time when I desperately needed a book about hope, so thanks.

The launch of every piece of AI-driven surveillance/security/criminal justice software basically goes like this:

AI COMPANY: this is an error free, bias free, state of the art, highly intelligent software system

Two Weeks Later: …aaaand it’s racist

Gavin Newsom’s Struggle for Everyman Cred Young Man in a Hurry: A Memoir of Discovery tries to recast a life of privilege in often baffling ways.

in a properly ordered world this excellent and very funny @edburmila.bsky.social review of the Gavin Newsom memoir would also function as a campaign post-mortem

I've got a Series X, which I adore and plan to keep playing until the next major generation of hardware, but I think this has me sold on jumping to a Steam Machine or building a PC that can sit hooked up to my game room TV.

Oh dang. Yep, I'm out.

Shame, Xbox has been my gaming home for the last 20 years and I've been a huge fan of the platform that whole time.

A whole bunch of people who were not thinking about abolition at all in 2020 are not just thinking about it, they're actually practicing, they're actually working, they're actually raising people in the world with new ideas and ways of being."

2026 CCCC Annual Convention Session Listing

Starting to get really stoked about CCCC in a couple of weeks! I'll be presenting at 2:00p on Friday (my first time presenting at 4Cs, and my first major conference presentation in over a decade). Session details: s1.goeshow.com/ncte/cccc/20...

the analogy I use with friends and family all the time is the jump from collegiate to professional sports. as soon as I explain it that way, it clicks in their brains what the academic job market is like.

Report: Warner Bros. Discovery Blocks Brody King From AEW Dynamite Following "F*ck ICE" Chants Brody King was absent from Wednesday night's episode of AEW Dynamite, and it reportedly wasn't a Tony Khan decision not to have him on the show.

Hmmm. Louder then.

Anyone have recommendations for good spots to grab a bite to eat in Cleveland? I'm starting to put together a plan for #4C26 and am starting with food.

Also, if any mutuals wants to hang out, I'd love to do that!

Brody King absolutely rules for lots of reasons. AEW fans supporting him with "Fuck ICE" chants is just the latest one.
