it’s Women’s Prize week; the wildest and most unexpected ride of my life is nearly over. I’ve read the whole shortlist and I’m stunned all over again to be listed alongside these books. It would be an honour to be beaten by any one of them 🧵

Two movies I'm tempted to watch but I heard they're gutting--will they gut me? How much do I need to prepare? The Florida Project and Iron Claw.

I just received notice that I am suspended through the entire fall semester for my participation in the first Gaza Solidarity Encampment at Columbia. Admin silently went back on their own deal with students in which they agreed to reverse our mass suspensions due to the outrage.

SB83 alert! Cirino's allies in the House are using the summer, when most faculty aren't teaching, to try to sneak by a vote to finally pass the ENORMOUSLY UNPOPULAR bill. Faculty & all concerned community: email & call House reps in droves! Tell them this is a bad bill.

SB83 is awful. Ohioans are so much better than this bill. If you're faculty, student, staff - if you're a parent or non-parent...if you're ANYONE worried (like the 500+ testifying against the bill last yr) about how SB83 would destroy Ohio higher ed - please send a message!

Trying to figure out who would want to make sure some people are kept out of a college education, hmm.... STOP SB83: actionnetwork.org/letters/vote-n…

Everything about this is grippingly meta

Hooray!!!

It's time to restore power where it belongs: with Ohio citizens, not politicians. Pledge to VOTE YES for fair maps! Sign the pledge ➡️ actionnetwork.org/forms/pledge-t…

You may have heard the term “Project 2025” floating around, and you may even have cracked open the 900+ page document yourself, only to see a lot of kind of bland, policy-wonk text. So let me crack through the policy-speak and tell you WTF is in this document.

Wanna know how bad JD Vance is? Hi from Ohio — we got you covered: docs.google.com/document/d/1vn…

The only Vance I support

This is Trump's VP. Someone who goes around saying "professors are the enemy."

It’s embarrassing to see OSU gush over Vance as a model for “Education for Citizenship.” A person who desires an authoritarian takeover of education and says “professors are the enemy” is hardly a model for our students.

U.S. professors - as you update your syllabi for fall, consider leaving November 5 open. Need to reduce as many barriers to voting as we can!
