Not Jean-Martin Charcot

Meghan Wilson Duff 🦑@mwduff· 18d

Not Carson from Downton Abbey en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Ma...

sepia photo of Jean-Marie Charcot from wikipedia he is wearing an ornate jacket with some sort of metal and his facial features (older white guy with dark eye brows) are similar to the guy who plays Carson in Downtown Abbey

Here are the book recommendations I snuck in at the end of discussion on teaching undergrads. I knew who was in the room.

Cover of Bullshit Jobs: A Theory by David Graeber -- blue with white text and a crossbow made of office supplies like pencils and rubber bands.

Cover of Holding It Together: How Women Became America's Safety Net by Jessica Calarco -- off white cover with Red and black text that looks ripped down the center with the colors reverse for the subtitle and the author's name

Patriarchy Inc What We get Wrong About Gender Equality - and Why Men Still Win At Work by Cordelia Fine -- grey cover with red and black lettering and a figure on one side of a wall and the ladder is on the other

Work Won't Love you Back: How Devotion to Our Jobs Keeps Us Exploited, Exhausted, and Alone by Sarah Jaffe cover covered in big red letters, with the exception of the O in love which is a yellow circle and has the subtitle in it

This is the brief reprieve scene.

I was supposed to be a pride booth tomorrow (however, no childcare), so I wanted a tshirt, but couldn't decide which one so I just got bracelets, but I forgot I hate the feeling of anything on my wrists. Dilemma. 1/

three thick flat bracelets. One is the aroace flag colors orange, yellow, white, light blue, dark blue stripes. The next is autistic pride flag red, orange, yellow, light green, darker green with white infinity symbols in the yellow stripe. The last is the agender flag black stripes on the outer edges then gray on either side, then white on either side of the green stripe in the middle.

Took my early teen with me to return my absentee primary ballot in city hall. He asked a lot of questions about election, got answers, and they gave him a sticker too. There were three stickers to choose from and he picked the Paul Bunyan sticker.

This is a very exciting event. So much work! Great to see kidlit folks and readers today in Rhode Island ✨📚 I'm going to try ✨VERY HARD✨ not to screw up while signing books, but if someone asks me a question, I will end up writing the answer rather than signing "Happy Reading [Name], Meghan." 😹

Permission structure

Sonja Drimmer post on bluesky

"This is why the phrase comes up in so many thing I've written about AI.

AI does three main things:

1) dismantle the institutions necessary for democratic society to thrive

2) transfer wealth upwards

3) create the permission structure for 1) and 2)

#Bangor folks or anyone adjacent in Maine, email the City Councilors who are planning to disband the Advisory Committee on Racial Equity, Inclusion, & Human Rights and tell them to knock that shit off.

"to ensure the most efficient use of Council and City staff time in a way that is aligned with Council's established priorities, the City Council find it appropriate to repeal the Article establishing the ACREIHR"
