Pictures, food, and rhetoric, not necessarily in that order. More a listener than a talker in this space (which is admittedly unusual for me...)

Despite everything, some folks are still needing to prep for academic job searches, whatever that looks like this fall. And so, in the spirit of transparency, I present to you what my advisees hear all the time: CJO’s multi-purpose job-materials paragraph template, a thread. 1/6

Guffawed at / identified with this. A lot.
But also monarchy is bad and the British royal family has actively harmed people all over the world for a very long time. Probably should stop allowing them to chair.

I say this with zero exaggeration, the special issue of @rhetsoc on Global Black rhetorics edited by @RonishaBrowdy and @esther_milu is the best scholarship our field has seen in years, if ever. Rigor, depth, HEART in every sentence tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

Parent of kids with two moms here thinking about Fathers Day & Mothers Day and the assumption that those two roles are fundamentally different (That there is something about Father that isn’t possible from Mother and about mothering that is fundamentally different from fathering)

TLDR: Parenting is only a gendered activity because we make it one. And building our gratitude for caregiving around a gender binary isn’t helping anyone.

(And don’t bring up the whole giving birth and breastfeeding thing as a gendered trump card unless you want me to open a can of worms about adoptive parents, non bio moms, dads who give birth, and all the other wonderful, real complexity of family)

I technically left the higher ed beat a few weeks ago but this story, on our Sunday front page, was the one I had to finish. For three years covering the state's colleges, I've wondered why there aren't more Black students at @UWMadison.
