Old man yells at clouds.
My views are my own.
@drangelasutton.bsky.socialI'm always bemused when people have to decide between their racism and their self interest.
@drangelasutton.bsky.socialAny chance the trucker hats are coming back? I lost mine on a whale watching boat in Maine!
@drangelasutton.bsky.socialThat's what it had to have been.
@drangelasutton.bsky.socialJust to clarify I'm here for it! And I'm also here for the straight white dudes who explore the limits of their abilities in a gentle, collaborative way. It's a necessary show.
@drangelasutton.bsky.socialA friend called British Bakeoff "wokemaxing" and I can't stop laughing about it every time the polyamorous guy in the thrupple feeds his trans friends at home baked goods while in the tent the wheelchair-user consoles the Muslim immigrant because their friend the vegan autistic baker had to leave.

@andycraig.bsky.socialReposted by @drangelasutton.bsky.socialThere will be a lot of equivocating about all the times search warrants have been executed on members of Congress for corruption investigations and the like, and it can't be stressed enough in how many ways HSI raiding Ilhan Omar is extremely not like that.
@drangelasutton.bsky.socialDoing this on a federal holiday as well so everyone who can do something to help is off.

@weedenkim.bsky.socialReposted by @drangelasutton.bsky.socialThe General Social Survey is funded by NSF. It's a gold- standard, nationally representative survey of US residents fielded since 1972. It's free for anyone to use. Much of what we know about Americans' life chances, religion, social and political attitudes, and family and work life comes from GSS.
@jenvictor.bsky.socialReposted by @drangelasutton.bsky.socialScience is doing essential reporting on the decimation of NSF social science funding. We need public accounting. If you’ve benefited from an NSF grant from SBE, add to this 🧵.
Tell the world what was funded that will not be funded from NSF anymore. I’ll start…

@drangelasutton.bsky.socialReposted by @drangelasutton.bsky.socialAs researchers around the world begin work on the next U.N. climate assessment, fears that the Trump administration could meddle with critical U.S. climate data grow. In response, scientists are preparing to transfer vast troves of that data to repositories in Germany.

@drangelasutton.bsky.socialLike WE ARE THE SAME AGE BRO. I know you watched the towers go down in high school.
@badpacifist.bsky.socialReposted by @drangelasutton.bsky.socialThinking about the rhetoric of higher ed leaders who say we have to "win back" public trust in our work. As (for the umpteenth time since I've known about her work) @jenmercieca.bsky.social would put it, the problem is *conceding the frame*.
Maybe none of what I'm saying here is new but....
@drangelasutton.bsky.socialSome short guy just knocked on my door and claimed to be a high schooler collecting money for a basketball uniform and laptop but he was at least 30 but could have been pushing 40 and I let him go on and on because I was staring down his wrinkles, just in awe of his audacity.
@danmartin7.bsky.socialReposted by @drangelasutton.bsky.socialThis is part of a massive disinformation campaign designed to confuse people abt higher ed. The people eroding trust in higher ed are the same people demanding that higher ed rebuild trust. It's a made up crisis that keeps facilitating cuts to funding and free speech.
@eicathomefinn.bsky.socialReposted by @drangelasutton.bsky.socialDeath by a thousand cuts as universities revoke international offers "en masse" of prospective students from Bangladesh, Nigeria and Pakistan to avoid losing ability to recruit international students. More job losses and course closures predicted in consequence. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...
