Dear hiring committee members,
Your insistence that you are "not hiring for any tenure track positions in bioethics at the moment," is an interesting opening gambit in our negotiations, and I applaud your persistence on this point after so many emails
My counter-offer, that you are indeed hiring a tenure track professor and compensating very generously, remains firm, however I am willing to haggle over the following minor points ...

PV deals with soooooo much shit, probably the half of which you all don't even know. The fediverse has good people but it also has a MAJOR whiteness problem that makes it incredibly uncomfortable for BIPOC here, & it's not always as outright as someone shouting slurs. There's overt white supremacy but there's also a lot of shit that is deemed socially acceptable that is covert white supremacy. Honestly ya'll are lucky af to be in the presence of BIPOC here

Pigamy: the crime of fucking a cop
Mastodon dot social replies
Every once in a while I see a reply to a reply to me
Where the person who replied to me is on m dot s
But of course I don't see it because I have mastodon dot social blocked
I'm not gonna unblock m dot s—about 90% of the abuse we got here on Scholar came from users there
So if you're not abusive and you aren't a reply-guy and you're a good person and you want to contact me, I recommend joining a better instance
But if you are one of those things, don't bother ha

Give your money directly to @ArtistMarciaX She's a black femme working on her PhD on the Puerto Rican diaspora/colonialism and creating art on other intersectional subjects. She posts here all the time and she's also an absolute lovely genius

The most hopeful line in DS9 was when Joseph Sisko (a Black man) is like, "Wow it's so weird to see men in uniforms holding phasers on Earth, I can't remember when that happened last and I hope I don't see it again"

People really forgot about the NDAA after Occupy didn't they.
Obama passed the NDAA during Occupy where US citizens if seen as a threat can be held indefinitely
This combined with the Patriot Act is, as we say in academia, bad news bears
