This was YEARS in the making but my first solo authored publication is out. I do more than rant on social media. I also study situational trust! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

I’ve been thinking about how the white moderate think about free speech. Where calling for violence and the dehumanization of entire groups of people is merely supposed to be pluralism at work rather than an a threat to that pluralism.

Y'all the political violence we are seeing isn't on some random posters. It's on the president. It's on his administration. Why do we have higher standards for random people online than we do the political elite?

I don’t know why anybody is going along with the course description justification for firing a professor. A class discussion can go anywhere depending on who is in the class and their questions. Everything is political, so what would be off the table for political scientists?

I have taught 595 students at UAlbany and that’s with a 2:1 teaching load and paternity leave. Wow.

I already knew, but the Nazi tattoo thing really hammers home that a lot of folks that identify as democrats just don’t have a will or enough common sense to fight racism. Y’all, you don’t accidentally get and keep a Nazi tattoo you dingbats.

So me and my mother have (had?) the exact same personality. So the last lesson she gave me was to remain calm, poised, especially when being tested. I recite that lesson occasionally, but BRUH I’ve said it everyday this week. I need a break.

I love helping students, but I need more than a day’s notice for participation in events. Sigh undergrad math. 😂

The best way I can put this is sometimes people lie. He’s lying, y’all. He may be ashamed but that doesn’t excuse consistently lying.

I wish my classes had the overall impact on my students’ thinking the way a pearl clutching op-ed , worried that one politician may actually help poor people breathlessly suggests.
