You ever read one book and feel like you are an expert on its topic? You’re not. Stop it.
So, my undergraduate negotiation students were given the opportunity to submit real live negotiations… and their choices were awesome and hilarious and wonderful.
I mean… this really isn’t controversial… maybe not common practice because 🤬 but it’s Assessment 101.

I had no idea my racist, homophobic, transphobic, Islamophobic comments calling people idiots who should “get the f— out of America” would offend anyone. I’m h̶o̶r̶r̶i̶d̶ horrified.
I don’t know who needs to hear this. But it’s probably a good idea to find a way to prevent too much desensitization. Like, I casually watched multiple death videos on my feed today. That’s really not okay. And my sudden emotional overload at the stoplight is likely the result.
I don’t know… but “Israel is so ineffective at genocide we shouldn’t even call it that” is not the defense people think it is. I’m not convinced it is a useful debate but that’s not the winner.
I see comments like this and—while I appreciate the sentiment—it gives real knows-little-to-nothing-about-the-relationship-between-universities-and their-constituent-schools energy. Law professors cannot just up and decide to solve this problem.
Why are capitalism’s apologists so dead set on assuring everyone some problem would still exist under some other order? Like… this is not the dunk you think it is.

Misogyny is casually suggesting that the statute of limitations for sexual assault should be, like, 24 hours or fewer. You know… otherwise it was consent after the fact.
Regardless of your position on the broader conflict, either Hamas is a terrorist organization or it’s not. And if it is, I need you to stop suggesting individuals (abroad but especially Palestinians) appeal to it using “democratic” or even social pressure, like condemnation.
This is like the one thing that is *theoretically* net positive about the move to tap. You no longer have to shell out upfront for a weekly pass. Still not accessible to the many, many NYers who don’t have banking because it requires a card or equivalent. And 12 is too many taps.
My fellow New Yorkers,
I see everyone using the tap option so I decided to try OMNY out and…
There’s no monthly unlimited metro option?? I’m not understanding the hype. 😒

Who thought it was a good idea that when you leave a Teams meeting, you don’t also leave the chat for that meeting by default? Like, I can get down with the *option* for staying connected. But WTF would this be the basic approach.
Sometimes asking a student to “be the voice of” or “advocate for” or “take the position” is asking them to defend their humanity or represent their people or all people like them.

Yet again and for the 36th time, a United Nations General Assembly resolution expressing serious concern over the situation of the #Bahai community in #Iran, and other religious minorities, and calling on the Iranian government to “eliminate” all forms of religious discrimination and persecution, passed today at the Committee on Social, Humanitarian and Cultural Issues. The resolution sponsored by @CanadaUN and co-sponsored by 50 other Member States and passed with 80 votes in favor.

USCIRF condemns the Iranian government’s recent spate of arrests of Baha’is across the country. Since the beginning of November, Iranian security forces have arrested scores of Baha’is in cities including Hamadan, Mehrshahr, Yazd, Karaj, Alborz, & Tehran.

"Freedom isn't free" is a shameful idea. Freedom is not supposed to be a scarce resource. And acting like this is an okay concept is not a way to honor the sacrifices made in the name of any nation’s exploits, just or unjust. Instead, of platitudes and "thanks”…
Say thanks by doing everything in your power so that your government may never send them again… To fight unjust wars… To install unjust governments… To ‘fix’ problems we caused. To advance racist, neoliberal, neocolonial projects.
