@united Uh-huh. I’ll certainly fill this out, but waiting a week to be able to apply for a refund for a service I lost due to your absurd delay is exactly sludge. You make money off of people not wanting to deal.

@united delayed our first flight by 7 hours, forced us to pay for a hotel in our layover city, and then charged us again to check our bag to our destination in the morning

@united I know it’ll never happen, but I dream of the day high speed rail puts these jerks out of business.

@united Instead, they demanded another fee without a customer service representative in sight.

@aairwaves Not sure why you can’t get my delayed for no reason baggage on a flight as you’ve promised multiple times.

this reminds me of a point roland barthes makes in “novels and children” about women writers & specifically about elle magazine’s coverage of them
(mythologies, 1957, trans. richard howard)

The policy “conundrums” that have arisen from this conflict are always like “how do we convince women to sacrifice themselves for the maintenance of the nuclear family?” How about: we don’t.

Queens lays off 26 FT fac responsible for teaching "hundreds & hundreds of students." Depts incl media studies, Eng, & Euro. langs. How long until disinvestment drives those students to other depts & the uni claims lack of student interest in these fields? queensledger.com/2024/01/11/que…

I'm teaching a 200-level undergrad course, "Cities in Film and Literature" next term, a great excuse to teach and screen some favourite things! What are yours?

@ria4983 For short stories, Poe’s ‘Man of the Crowd’ and Zadie Smith’s ‘Embassy of Cambodia.’

I do hope everyone understands that what's happening at WVU is both an extreme version of what's happening at almost all public universities, and a trial balloon for doing it elsewhere

Any word on whether it was a good idea to put public universities in the hands of a business and political elite that find the very idea of a public trust to educate and serve the citizenry to be abhorrent and strange

@elizabethalsop @fuscowrites @AmandaAnnKlein So happy us expressive listeners are finally getting the recognition we deserve!

I'd like to give away 5 copies of the just-released paperback of In and Out of Sight: Modernist Writing and the Photographic Unseen to grads/precarious academics! I'll cover postage. If you're keen reply with a v. short description of your research so I can get to know your work!
