Still waiting for full results, but #France may well be moving to a different regime without changing its constitution. The next week is going to be fascinating for historians, political scientists, and above all citizens desperate for change.

Working in #highereducation is often hard. Precarity, long hours, little recognition, poor compensation. Then a card surprises you in the morning; a student thanking you for two years of classes, for helping them grow intellectually. And that, friends, is all it's all about!

L'urgence électorale ne doit pas faire oublier que la lutte contre l'antisémitisme reste une priorité de la gauche démocratique. Le programme du #frontpopulaire est heureusement sans ambiguïté là dessus. Au-delà du scrutin, c'est une opportunité pour faire le ménage ….

Saskatchewan Grain Production 1898-1940. There is a lot of history in this chart from the environmental transformation of the rapid increase and the forced removal of Indigenous people form their land, to the drought in 1937 and the widespread economic failure for already struggling farms. #envhist

Bit of academic mentoring the other day. I ask three questions: 1. What do you want to have achieved in the next 3-5 years? 2. What do you realistically expect to achieve in the next year? 3. How is your answer to (2) going to move you closer to your answer to (1)?

No, billionaires. Rawls’ Difference Principle says that society should make the WORST OFF as well off as possible. I know it’s not an easy read but if you put the effort in most people get it eventually.
