You need 4 years of experience, though 4 years of training and a degree in the field doesn’t count.

You all need to get more than just a degree, you need work experience and the degree. I don’t care if you need a chance to work first, you need to magically have it at the start. But a degree is…

The cult of personality around celebrities like George Takei has always kind of mystified me because while their actual body of work is pretty solid (sometimes I just think about the episode of Adventure Time he was on and burst out laughing in public), their personas are essentially this weird mishmash of assembly line opinions for the lowest common denominator

Of course that also very accurately describes a lot of the meme culture that’s moved to the forefront of the collective consciousness in that it’s minimal, cookie-cutter effort for disproportionate responses

George Takei posts something as shitty and sexist and harmful as this stupid thing and the people who love George Takei just love him more because of it and the cycle repeats ad infinitum because anyone who gets upset about how shitty this is and the fact that it’s coming from a celebrity they up until now loved on a platform seen by literally millions of people gets labelled as someone who simply “takes the internet too seriously”

Don’t conflate being a decent human being with being gay, famous, and aware of who grumpy cat is

I’ve run into a fair number of comments like this in response to my recent comments about the “rebel flag” as a symbol of (white) Southern heritage, and I must say that while most — including this one — have come from people who I usually have good relations with, I am utterly struck at how utterly misguided they are.

To wit:

I am a Southerner. I am white. I live in the Midwest. My students (most of whom are from Chicago and the suburbs) seem to believe racial segregation is a “Southern thing” even though many went to whites-only schools and never had an African American or a Latino/a in class until they came to Illinois State University. I have had colleagues admit that when I was hired they were biased against me, and assumed I was both a racist and a sexist because I was from the South. 

I know something about cultural bias against Southerners, believe me. 

The notion that that bias in any way legitimates adopting the Confederate battle flag as a symbol of white Southern-ness is absurd. It’s dumb. That flag is a symbol of exclusion and racial dominance whether you want it to be or not. 

You want to be a proud Southerner? Good on you. Be one. Live it. You don’t need a core component of a racist and hate-filled past to stand as your symbol of Southern pride. 

No one does.
