Hard to see how this doesn't wind up with the woman being fired, given precedent.

"I wouldn’t say it’s fair to say, like, he’s somebody who consistently throws people down the stairs, no—but, yeah, it’s right in line with kind of who he was.” --hs classmate of Rep. Max Miller, re an incident where he did throw a girl who refused him down the stairs. Abuser hallmarks all over.
Marisa Kabasa republican congressman allegedly broke his two-year-old daughter's collarbone and he somehow hasn't been run out of congress. there really is no bridge too far for these ghouls.
I just like to note that we still ask "what qualifies this lady to speak on this subject?" all the damn time.
the Mountain Goatscan we sometimes be asking "what qualifies this guy to speak on this subject?" or has that ship sailed
Consider how the Boards of Trustees of your chosen university are chosen and what the political leanings of the governor and state legislature are.
Justin ZimmermanBe in a state that allows the morning after pill. Dead serious.
A long while ago, I wrote a pretty good piece on O Brother, Where Are Thou?, lies, & Oz. It was rejected on the explicit grounds that Real Classicists had no interest in engaging with "low-brow shallow comedy". Anyhow, at this moment of #Odyssey reception, here it is. medium.com/@anisestrong...
All Coens Are Liars: O Brother, Where art Thou? and Homer’s OdysseyAll Coens are Liars:medium.comWhen Biden was elected, (and even more when Obama was), I stated that one of the major bits of mental relief I was looking forward to was that I could leave worrying about difficult problems like North Korea to people who had spent their entire adult lives thinking about North Korea.
hilzoyI know I have RTd this several times, but: the WHOLE POINT of the State Department is that it’s supposed to be full of people who deal with other countries, and who could therefore be expected to look at that map and know IMMEDIATELY that it was wrong.
When describing Kalamazoo (not a farm county, but surrounded by farms), I often comment, "We're lucky in our particular billionaires." Outsiders answer, "Oh, that must be great!" "No, not really, b/c whether we have good schools or an orchestra shouldn't depend on the values of 6 nice rich folks!"
Sarah TaberMost of the land in most farm counties is owned by 1-5 families. They run the place like their own personal kingdoms. There is SO much resentment and straight-up fury about this in rural areas. The fact that no political party's even really trying to speak to it is wild.
"You hear that? They're saying The Odyssey doesn't even have nobody!" "They've got nobody in the Odyssey?" "No I'm saying they don't got nobody." "Nobody's there?" "Nobody's not there!" "So everyone's there?" "Everybody but nobody!" www.tumblr.com/number1mongr...

"No I'm saying they don't got nobody."
"Nobody's there?"
"No…www.tumblr.comI absolutely hear this & yet sometimes reflect on how bizarre it is that we still teach Latin & Greek by having students do their best imitations of Cicero's or Homer's or Vergil's style, just as students did for 2K years, rather than asking them to write original works. Is style a copyright issue?
Catherynne M. ValenteI mean YES OF COURSE Our style is US. Our experience, our craft, our life, our soul. You don’t get to get a corporation to steal it so you don’t have to come up with your own and then praise yourself for doing such a good job writing with style.
It's useful to keep in mind that, even at an absolute minimum in which this is "only" a 2-month delay, that almost certainly means a collective loss of millions of dollars of income for these young lawyers at the same exact point that they are often moving substantial distances for new jobs.

I'm really sad; I was so excited about the thought of getting a second season of this amazing show.
IGNMarvel's Wonder Man TV series has been canceled and will not return for its planned second season. https://bit.ly/4fE07Nv
Can you recommend an amazing article, book chp, podcast, video, or game on genders & sexualities in ancient & medieval Europe & the Mediterranean (broadly defined) published in the last 10 yrs (last 5 pref) to add to my grad seminar syllabus? So much great stuff is coming out I might have missed it!
Oh wow, @roopikarisam.bsky.social is on the Obama summer reading list! Now I feel bad that I've been saving it for post-surgical recovery....
Barack ObamaIt’s that time of year again: here are some of the books I’ve enjoyed this summer. If you’ve read any good ones, let me know!
