Attention academics...I just found out (you may already know) that the Southern Historical Collection at UNC will close for renovations in August and be closed up to three years! Please spread the word, particularly among grad students who may be counting on it to complete disses

#SHEAR2023 About the opportunities before us with our new arrangement with OI period many people just don't understand the administrative struggles that shear has had over the last decade to dozen.
#SHEAR2023. What a wonderful conference this year. Thank you to the usual suspects for all the hard work you do. I had to miss the business meeting this morning in order to catch my flight home. But I will say that I am very excited ....

Instead of showing me your diversity statement, show me your hiring data, your discrimination claim stats, your salary tables, your retention numbers, your diversity policies, and your leaders’ public actions against racism.
End performative allyship.

Huge thanks to @TheLastofUsHBO for last night’s surprising & beautiful episode. Tears flowed remembering the tender love & bravery gay men summoned when facing death during the plague years, including those who did so on their own terms. The episode’s metaphor was a gift.

After ignoring years of explicit political activity by 1000s of white preachers pushing @GOP candidates across the USA, @nytimes now mysteriously questions legality of "Black pastors" expressing doubts about morality of @HerschelWalker. Astonishing.

As I stroll on TikTok, I keep seeing parents video their children reacting to The Little Mermaid trailer. So instead of focusing so much on the negative, I thought I’d show a thread of the little black kids who are excited to see their favorite princess look like them.
