Opinion: Do I Know Very Little About Something but Have Decided that Makes Me Correct Compared to People Who Have Studied this Rigorously for Years? Yes.

It was a false alarm. The system was accidentally triggered. The fear, anxiety, and trauma that everyone endured was very real

Everyone is fine and no one was hurt, and I know it could’ve been much worse. There are people who’ve endured so much worse just this week. And yet every student and teacher at that school is traumatized and will never be the same. This is no way to live.

My wife just endured a 40+ min lockdown at her school where she teaches. Everyone is ok, no safety threat. But she and her students barricaded their classroom and everything. Had no idea what was happening. Everyone is traumatized. This is not freedom. This is a tyranny of guns

It is a real shame that we’ve gotten to a point in higher Ed where students feel they need to share extremely personal information to get an extension or leeway from a prof. A student should be able to say “a health issue came up…” and not have to tell you more

This semester I am a co-adjunct teacher for @RutgersArts #online, not a member of a union nor protected by them. But I stand in full solidarity with the thousands who are going on #strike today. Let us know how we can help, even if we live many states away @ruaaup_ptl @ruaaup

Having now worked outside academia for 2 years and observing non-academic job markets, it is WILD to me that we all apply for literally hundreds of academic jobs that don’t advertise the salary

Library access is one of the biggest obstacles for unaffiliated academics and one of the major reasons I haven’t gotten much done in years.

Today I went to a “local” (less than an hour from where I live) college library and got borrowing privileges and I instantly feel 100x more ready to do musicological work. Thanks Amherst College for making me feel like a scholar again.

What are some of your favorite Chinese pop songs? Especially ones that incorporate some aspect of traditional Chinese music of any genre. Must be OK for kids

I’m really stoked 4 people loved this niche tweet that somehow referenced this production of Freischütz without also referencing our friend the horny bunny
