    If you simply send them a link or make them aware of "campus resources" and dont respond to them as a person, showing care and interest, that is a problem. We hear over and over again, "say something." Yet, we must ask, are we as individuals and institutions, listening?

    If someone shares their struggles with depression, anxiety, and sadness , 1) make them aware of resources on campus; 2) be a source of support: check in on them; be a source of care, community, compassion; and 3) Listen. Hear people without judgment & dismissal

    There are so many fighting private battles. Higher education can be an extremely lonely place even though we are surrounded by so much all of the time. This is incredibly sad.

    I've been thinking about how kindness is undervalued in academia. Not nonexistent, but undervalued. Treating each other's work with respect and empathy, and offering support, doesn't just make for a more comfortable work environment--I truly believe it fosters better scholarship.

    How cruel/demoralizing is your review? Did you give feedback to a grad student with a small dose of belittling? Are you Reviewer 2 & known for your biting criticism that goes beyond what is constructive? Are you proud of that? Do you like to haze people for sport? Do you bully?

    Don't forget coaches bonuses

    Finances for 2019 March Madness: 1. gets $771M annually from CBS/Turner; 2. Each conference gets ~$1.7M for every game played by its members; 3. Each participant competes for pride without guaranteed medical insurance while missing classes.

    I interact with gravity every moment of every day, but I am not expert on physics. Fandom isn't synonym for research, scholarship, expertise, and knowledge

    Everyone in academia, especially white executive admins, should read this essay by my UNH colleague . I feel this so hard. And we rarely hear in these academic pubs from folks openly calling themselves Chicanx — notable for that too.
