muttering "brace for impact" to myself while getting ready to take sick cat to the vet

Today, @nhold.bsky.social explains why calls for mandatory retirement are mistaken, and what this mistake indicates about the character of elite academic circles, including the law and political economy movement.

Somewhere a university academic is being told to "do more with less" by someone whose job title didn't exist two reorgs ago.

it drives me absolutely fucking insane that political capital is constantly spent on “culture war” bullshit. everyone’s got something to say about which kids can play sports together. no one has anything to say about the homeless.

Today, @gabrielwinant.bsky.social explains why a clear picture of how age mediates class would reveal not gerontocracy, but capitalism and the fractionated class system it produces.

Today Zohran is announcing that the New York City-owned grocery stores his administration is piloting will discount staple items 30%. Core groceries like produce, meat, seafood, pasta, bread, yogurt, butter, nuts, rice and beans will all receive this price cut.

The waste of teaching talent caused by universities’ obsession with low-wage contract work (which drives people out of the profession long-term) is almost unimaginable. A societal disaster.

I am 53 and have been essentially forced into retirement. I thought it was just me, until I found an entire community of women in the same situation on Instagram. So many of us have just been told that we simply have nothing to contribute to society anymore.

I'd bet ten bucks that someone in a meeting or focus group has suggested that it would be fine if only more Americans understood that those schoolgirls were all terrorists.

“killing schoolgirls with missiles is bad messaging,” a thought running through the heads of informed and powerful Americans this year

Solidarity with those taking to the streets in Madison.

been back on this today, into it, hoping to get a copy on vinyl www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5sR...

I am so excited to announce the pre-sale for my forthcoming book, The Struggle Is Always Worth It! This is also the first reveal of the table contents, and let me tell you, there are some superstars who contributed to this book. givebutter.com/SIAWI-presale

(3 drinks) sometimes the world is so magnificent that i will weep at the many simple beauties you encounter during a normal day (3.25 drinks) if you begin to think about it enemies are actually surrounding me and closing in. i am beset upon by evil on all sides.

omg this means so much to me, thank you for telling me! my twitter music buddy Jeff Melnick told me this phrase he got from someone else - 'we have so little so we must share!' This stuff is so incredibly hard to do, I'm really delighted my reflections on my process helped you to find yours!

I totally get it and I am so happy for you, it is a *massive* accomplishment! I hope you get to rest soon and I wish you all of the good things ASAP!!!

CONGRATULATIONS LAUREN!!!!!

Taking away someone's food and medicine makes you responsible for their death

I'm not well informed enough to fully back this up but it at least feels like a great deal of contemporary US politics, both parties but Trumpworld especially so, is basically naked corruption with some ideological window dressing. kleptocracy kinda thing

I remember liking things. I was never that into but now that it's gone I miss it a little.
