Everyone in the UNC system needs to read this story. All faculty and staff are at risk if outside players can use gotcha-videos to demand that faculty be fired for actions like doing their jobs to support students

I have a friend who was diagnosed with something like spontaneous hemophilia which is so rare that a local center studying it was thrilled to have her as a subject. Yay?

I hope this is a positive step towards treatment, but I'm sure you don't want to be a rarity!

I got hit with a presumably unintentionally shady deployment of "the late 1900s" from an undergrad who was looking at materials from the 1980s-90s, and was not expecting that whiplash. I stopped myself from correcting her-- No, that was the 80s, not the late 1900s!

Oh jeez, I had no idea it was so expensive. Outrageous.

Ooh, thanks! I recently learned that labor leader Lucy Randolph Mason was into spiritualism after her beloved Katherine died. She wrote letters to Katherine after her death, which is a touching way to talk to loved ones after they are gone.

Ooh, would love to read a piece comparing this grief grift with spiritualism.

We got rid of that requirement for ours a few years ago. The letters don't make much of a difference for evaluating applications, and are more of a barrier as you note.

I keep reminding people that admins hate English departments because they are popular (read: inefficient), not because they aren’t. AI is in a long line of technologies that promise to solve that problem for them.

Opinion | Old Betrayals and New as N.C. Dems Pass Anti-Trans Laws North Carolina Democrats had solid election results last year, amid promises to hold the line against the far-right. But two horrific anti-trans bills just became law thanks to Democratic support, wit...

Seeing folks (in good faith) misunderstand fight over NC's anti-trans HB2 back in 2016/17 as a contrast to anti-trans laws now. What actually happened is more revealing.

HB2 didn't fail. A fake "repeal" (with key Dem support) kept the law basically intact but shifted national attention elsewhere:

Could you use alt text for your images? People who use screen readers can't read the text in your post, and many folks won't reshare images that aren't accessible.
