If you didn't already know that academic publishing is a racket - this beautifully outlines all the myriad ways in which it routinely extorts everyone involved with it.

Academic journals are a lucrative scam – and we’re determined to change that | Arash Abizadehwww.theguardian.com Giant publishers are bleeding universities dry, with profit margins that rival Google’s. So we decided to start our own, says academic Arash Abizadeh

Look, all I’m saying is that people will add their own music in their head. Having IG play a song with your picture takes other folks’ option of adding their own soundtrack. It short-circuits imagination. It’s a bad feature that should rarely be used. Also, judging your song selections: they suck.

You're never late to a book. Books don't have a use by date, they're always brand new the first time you read them.

I sat next to Larry King at a Starbucks during the RNC in Philly in 2000 and he went on a rant about how every person of color at the entire convention was onstage. Thinking about that as I watch this feed.

but 'not being antiblack' requires not a single moment spent on reading any extensive literature other than that meme, "dont be a dick" (applied to your dealings with black people). please read all the lit you like on the subject, but thats an elective. the requirement is simply ‐ don't.

Can anyone share efforts that specifically support Black trans women? They are the most vulnerable group to being murdered in the US.

Guys, I think when MAGA say unity they don’t mean unity with non-MAGA

Took Apple Care ten days from when I notified them that I broke my phone to get the replacement. Not really griping! It was good to revisit a world where one accessed the Internet on computers w keyboards. It had its downsides and, yeah, I’m a weirdo, but trying turning the phone off for intervals.

Let me be clear. We need to unite as one nation. Under a groove. Gettin’ down just for the funk of it.

Just as one didn’t have to answer the landline phone every time it rang, you don’t have to look just because someone else made a count increment in a red dot on a device. Exceptions apply, but who’s in charge?

but there's other ways to process bad things on the horizon beyond the passivity of awaiting bad things to happen to you. i personally prefer risking the delusion of thinking I have more agency than I actually turn out to have than risking the delusion of thinking that I have less. but YMMV

I am putting out this heartfelt call: please, I beg of you, it’s important that everyone except me turn down the political temperature! It’s so crucial in these turbulent times for everyone who isn’t myself to watch what they say!! 💗

I basically turned off tv news (except for elections) when I went to bed w Florida undecided in the November 2000 election. I have never seen the videos of 9/11, and I don’t care to see this either. One can turn off the tv and get information through other channels. Immediacy is overrated.
