I very sincerely hope that people (not just in the West) can one day treat the former with the same level of moral sensitivity they reasonably apply to the latter. I’m not holding my breath, though.

Woke up this morning thinking about the fact that every single argument people still use to justify or excuse colonialism (not only in the West) was also, once upon a time, used to justify or excuse slavery (not only in the West).

Woke up to news our nanny was extending her 3-week leave by 2 months and an @ABAesq article chastising lawmoms for getting “sidetracked” and losing focus. Haven’t written a non-legal pleading in over a decade but rage-wrote this at my kitchen counter: docs.google.com/document/d/1…

🤔Fascinating thread. Substitute #LawLand for #Academia & all points relevant. Perhaps #LawLand isn’t that different after all—Maybe, just maybe, a fervent belief in exceptionalism is a professional attribute. Let’s ask experts—what say you @richardsusskind & @danielsusskind?
Living in a household where both academics and professional services are represented, I feel at least a little qualified to comment on this rather provocative article by @BUiDRegistrar, so here are a few thoughts. timeshighereducation.com/car…

There is no justice for the people of Minnesota and all across this nation, who must bear this pain and trauma. There is only the hard work ahead, to overcome the hate and racism that sentences families and entire communities to grief, tragedy and unending loss.
