Vivian, just now, with zero preamble: "Well, hell, you can write better than this David Brooks." And walks off. Um, thanks?

The BCRW conference is going to be so dope. LOL
"Because we were worried you might try to occupy the conference room again," we were told. Sure.
Why the armed guards, we asked? A week earlier, students had dispersed, peacefully, because we had been promised civil dialogue.
One man, with a pistol and a headset, was hiding in an alcove behind a door right by the Dean's office.
I was part of the negotiation team. On the way to the conference room, we passed checkpoints manned by armed guards, in uniform and not.
When a delegation of student representatives and faculty allies arrived for those negotiations, the administration locked the campus down.
After hours of occupation, and despite threats of arrest, students extracted a promise for structured negotiations with the President.
But I will say that, when program cuts at my alma mater, Emory, provoked backlash, students ultimately occupied the President's office.
I don't want to say too much about how "civility" is being weaponized as yet another tool in the arsenal of the neoliberal university.
Also, when I hear "disruptors," I think of Romulans. The Federation may be a neoliberal hegemony, sure, but Romulans are bad news, man.
ON IT! “@audreywatters: LAUSD: an iPad for every student and an assault rifle for every campus cop. 'Murica.”
@tressiemcphd Signs you may have been on twitter and/or academia too long: you use the phrase "price shaming"
And look I'm a labor person. I know clerks are under pressure to get me "in the computer".
I'm not doing it and no amount of aggressive price shaming will change that. "Don't you want DISCOUNTS?!" Look lady.
Let me tell you my small talk threshold: it's *just* shy of giving you all my info to get a "discount card" at the register. I lose it.
