A really interesting thread \(above and below\). The horror unfolding at UA has been played out as death by a thousand cuts at lots of other state institutions: never so dramatic, but cumulatively the same effect. https://twitter.com/biblioracle/status/1146044631836188672
It is interesting how “trenchant” is often the right word for a thing that is really really good about a thing that is really really bad. Puts the “cutting” back in “incisive.” https://t.co/fo0efzIqWb

Exactly. Everything distracting/anxiety-producing is unavailable to me for the first couple of hours of the morning. Makes a huge difference to my ability to focus.

I’m so glad it went well, and I hope that the productive conversations continue.
I talked a bit with @NickjpMayo at @timeshighered about the increasingly mythical 40/40/20 academic workload. https://www.timeshighereducation.com/features/paid-research-time-vanishing-privilege-modern-academics \(readable with free login\) +
Replying to @NickjpMayo and @timeshighered
One point of clarification: the distinction I was drawing was between faculty on 12-month contracts and faculty on 9-month contracts. +
Replying to @NickjpMayo and @timeshighered
Both are “full time” and both may be “permanent,” but 9mo faculty using their summers for research aren’t being paid for it. +
Replying to @NickjpMayo and @timeshighered
Calling their workloads 40/40/20 relies on their volunteer contribution of unpaid time. +
Replying to @NickjpMayo and @timeshighered
The situation is far, far worse for adjuncts and other temporary faculty, but I don’t want this distinction among full-time/permanent faculty to be overlooked.

Replying to @LibSkrat
At my institution \(and others that I know of\), it’s quite clear: faculty on 12-month contracts are paid for 12 months. Those on 9-month contracts are not.
Replying to @LibSkrat
There are load of other hierarchies and disparities, absolutely — all part of the infinite divisions of institutional employment types that keep us from coming together and finding solidarity.
Replying to @LibSkrat
Understood, and agreed. But I’ll stand by the point I was making: if 40% of your job — and in fact the 40% on which your evaluation most depends — requires the voluntary donation of time during which you aren’t being paid, your workload isn’t really 40/40/20.
Replying to @NickjpMayo
Thank you! It’s great to see the article and the many voices in it, which are thoughtful and provocative.
Sitting in the @achdotorg annual general meeting at #ACH2019, thinking about where my fierce attachment to this organization and my excitement about this meeting come from. +
Replying to @achdotorg
I’ve heard @miriamkp quoted several times here at #ACH2019: Commit to DH people, not DH projects. That ethos, that commitment to relationships and to community, is part of what has made this meeting so fantastic. +
Replying to @achdotorg and @miriamkp
#ACH2019 has been energizing and inspiring, and I’m looking forward to getting back to work on the various community- and sustainability-building projects in front of me. +
Replying to @achdotorg
First, though, my most heartfelt thanks to @jenguiliano @roopikarisam @adlangmead and @mkgold, conference co-chairs extraordinaire, for everything they did to make #ACH2019 a reality. +

And thank you to the cast of dozens — members of the program committee, members of the local organizing team, volunteers, and more — who worked like crazy to make #ACH2019 a success. +

And thanks to everyone who came to Pittsburgh and shared their work, their experience, and themselves. It’s people like those at #ACH2019 who make DH worth committing to.

Argh O365 searching is the worst. At least half the time searching for a message from a specific contact doesn’t turn it up, but searching for that person’s last name as a term does.

The apparent barriers to collaboration among 365 developers are ironic indeed. I have long wanted to introduce the Mac Outlook team to the iOS Outlook team. They should get to know each other!
