mastodon vs twitter.

I’ll burn every academic bridge I have left just for the chance to slam dunk on some fuck with tenure.

I was actually being generous because I could have honestly said 'literally 100% of the people with whom I have conversed about this, graduate and undergraduate'
.
.
.
sociologists who take the stance of 'prove to me it is oppressive and only then will I stop using it' are scum.

Oh hey, it's my one year anniversary of getting on Mastodon. I don't want to get too sappy, but joining this website has genuinely made a significant, positive difference in my life. Meeting wonderful people, being exposed to people from all around the world and from all walks of life. Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. It's been super fun, love you all.

save a cow, tip the staff

Who thinks it'd be a good/bad idea to broaden how academics' status/success is measured, i.e. currently narrowly focused on peer-reviewed papers published in high impact journals?

e.g.s:
- Authoring of books/chapters;
- Curriculum/course/resource development;
- What else?

P.S. A friend, who has tenure and a PGCE (teaching qualification), was recently shouted at by a colleague for wanting to do less research and more teaching.

Tex-Mex tech hecks X-mas mechs, heck!

You know the Overton window has shifted horrifically far to the right when the pro-corruption crowd speaks openly

@bgcarlisle light them on fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiire

(actually this is super cathartic to do with print versions of reviews)

important PSA

Take: the dominance that professionally recorded music has gained in the last 100 years has lead to a major winnowing of folk music (i.e. music intended to be performed by anyone, as part of daily life), and that's a significant cultural and social loss.
