This is an absolute travesty. Northwestern has, probably, the 2nd best library collection for African History/Studies in the USA (behind Yale and ahead of MSU, UCLA, etc). A self-inflicted wound that is absolutely, 100% unnecessary given the massive wealth of Northwestern.

SCOOP: Northwestern plans to remove its flagship Program of African Studies’ status as a university research center, effectively closing the program at the end of the month, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

Each time I see men refer to her as Dennis Rodman’s daughter I feel compelled to remind people that he let his children be homeless while he went out and partied nightly.

this ABC found learning to read chinese (something undertaken by 1/6th of the world's population) so insurmountably difficult that he gave the task of translating his own grandfather's memoir, a project that you'd think would motivate you like nothing else, to an LLM. Pathetic

my grandfather wrote a memoir that I couldn't read after he passed, I tried to learn Chinese but progress was slow this year, I translated it with AI and designed a bilingual edition. it turned out way better than I could have imagined

as someone who’s moved cities more than ten times, maintaining friendships across distance has become something of a lifelong preoccupation. one thing i’ve learned is friendship can be kept alive through very small bids for connection or little glimpses into ordinary life that preserve shared context i once wrote about some of my favourite small friendship bids here :) velvetnoise.substack.com/p/the-art-of-s…

In order for a friendship to be maintained, one person needs to reach out to another person to hang. If neither does that, then the friendship gradually dissolves.

The Sophie Cunningham trans-athlete “debate” has brought Riley Gaines’s political rhetoric — which is funded to manufacture victimhood — to a sport with zero trans athletes: the WNBA. “This is a story about engagement.” “It is the criminalization of trans people in sports.”

These folks don’t talk about protecting women & girls in terms of reproductive rights and maternal health, providing equal access to professional opportunities or identifying & isolating truly predatory men. Nah, it’s about making sure they medal in high school meets.

Great journalism by @Phil_Lewis_ here. Tuskegee kids discuss how they rarely see bonnets and durags on campus and how they’re dealing with a much more pressing housing crisis and an administration that granted an honorary degree to a Republican senator who is undoing critical race theory education in Alabama schools. And the thing is the vast majority of the disconnected loudmouths who don’t know shit about this generation of HBCU students but still sought to tear these kids down won’t even read this bc they’re the intellectually lazy losers they accuse these ambitious, education seeking young ppl of being.

There’s been a lot of conversation online about the dress code policy at Tuskegee. But current students have been largely left out of the discourse. So I talked with some of them: whatimreading.net/p/tuskegee-stu…

This amazing website, called "Worse on Purpose," is cataloguing all the ways companies are deliberately and secretively degrading their own products As usual, in most cases the culprit is private equity extracting enormous sums while everyone else is left worse off.
