    I need a wearable sign that says this so friendly people in my neighborhood don't think I'm a sociopath.

    Anyone else do their best writing while taking breaks? Like, I know it looks like I'm enjoying a carefree stroll outside, but I'm currently composing the most important lines of my book chapter in my head, so whatever you do DO NOT interrupt my flow by trying to talk to me.

    Many tenured professors could use a reminder of their relative privilege, but why treat this as a zero-sum game, ignoring other university expenditures such as administrators’ salaries and athletic facilities, and why pretend that vast pay gaps among the tenured don’t exist?

    According to convention, good academic writing is that which makes an original point and then explicitly points out that point again and again. Is this because bad writing is accepted in our profession, or because poor reading is normalized? (I'm guilty of both, of course.)

    Looking forward to talking about African socialism as part of this exciting series next month.

    I'd love to read a history of International Development Targets like the Alma Ata call for "health for all" by 2000 & the Millennium Development Goals - one focused not on associated policies & their outcomes, but on the practice of setting targets itself. Anyone working on this?

    Racist editorials by basket-case newspapers north of the Rio Grande have locked up a historic number of migrant children in cages. See? This is how not to describe cause and effect.

    Pretty staggering to read that the highest level staff of the thinks it wise to alter historical evidence in order to entertain Trump’s delusions and protect schoolchildren from that terribly obscene word, vagina.

    “The world must wake up to the growing debt crisis in poor countries. Ballooning debt payments and cuts in public spending are a recipe for disaster.” Bizarre that this is meant as strong critique in 2019 when it seems lifted from 1979, or at least 1989.

    Interfolio's Faculty180 is one of the most aesthetically horrifying & experientially deadening data collection tools I've ever encountered. How much money do universities pay for this inefficient product? How much time do administrators spend interpreting its nonsensical output?

    Richard Ambani at the Kenyan National Archives should get more credit for enabling so many scholars’ careers (myself included).

    My decade in review: -2012: started going to the gym occasionally after a decade without formal exercise -2018: stopped going to the gym entirely -2019: terminated my gym membership, happily assuring the customer service rep that “my fitness journey” had come to an end

    In search of triumphalist narratives of contemporary female empowerment, some journalists invent a caricatured past against which to measure a decontextualized present. This does not help women or enhance our understanding of their strength!

    A cursory review of African history shows that rural men across the continent have been pursuing labor migration for over a century, while their wives have been farmers and breadwinners. I get the new angle of Europe’s pull, but exactly what “traditions” are being bucked here?

    Millet is the most underrated grain. Most underrated herb? Tarragon.

    Guavas are the most underrated fruit, bananas the most overrated, and pomegranates the most annoying.
