  1. Have you at any time... rewritten the settler narrative?
    Foundational narratives facing the murder board

    “When historians talk about reframing a traditional narrative, we don’t mean erasing it...We mean adding the evidence, the voices, the objects, that earlier tellings left out, so that more Americans can see themselves reflected in the national story.” >>

  4. A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

    Anger blows out the lamp of the mind. In the examination of a great and important question, every one should be serene, slow-pulsed and calm.

    Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, freethinker, orator
    Essay (1881-11) “The Christian Religion,” “Part 2” North American Review, Vol. 133, No. 300

  6. "“A whole #civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.”
    These are the utterances of a man casting about for an act of sufficient magnitude to substitute for the coherent strategy he never bothered to contemplate. The trajectory they trace — from rhetorical escalation to intensified bombardment to potentially something indiscriminate or far worse — deserves a degree of serious #examination that major #media outlets are just beginning to realize. Understanding that trajectory requires grasping, above all, the particular #trap into which American power has #sleepwalked.

    A leader who entered a #war he did not understand, in pursuit of objectives he had not reconciled, and who now confronts a situation in which every available #exit diminishes the political #narrative he has staked his #identity on, is a genuinely #dangerous figure to place at the apex of #nuclear decision-making."

  8. So in order to feel that today’s work day wasn’t completely wasted I signed 21 ‘research excellence letters’ that a colleague had shared with me whilst I was away from work. Turned out, as usual, to be the one of the most positive things I get asked to do.

    Every year our best postgraduate researchers are nominated for this (cashless) prize by their doctoral examiners (the nominations are scrutinised by a committee) and if approved they get a letter telling them that we recognise their achievement and giving me the opportunity to wish them every success in their future career. The letters include the text used any examiners to justify their request for consideration for recognition of excellence (which are a fascinating snapshot of what excellence looks like across the disciplines).

    I rarely get positive feedback from our postgraduate research community and wouldn’t expect to (except when I fix problems) so it is always amazing how well-received these letters are.

  12. A quotation from La Rochefoucauld

    Our readiness to think ill of people without sufficiently examining the matter is based on laziness and pride. We want to find people guilty, we don’t want the bother of studying their crimes.
     
    [La promptitude à croire le mal, sans l’avoir assez examiné, est un effet de l’orgueil et de la paresse: on veut trouver des coupables, et on ne veut pas se donner la peine d’examiner les crimes.]

    François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) French epigrammatist, memoirist, noble
    Réflexions ou sentences et maximes morales [Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims], ¶267 (1665-1678) [tr. Kronenberger (1959)]

  14. A quotation from Bill Watterson

         CALVIN: Today at school, I tried to decide whether to cheat on my test or not. I wondered, is it better to do the right thing and fail … or is it better to do the wrong thing and succeed?
       On the one hand, underserved success gives no satisfaction … but on the other hand, well-deserved failure gives no satisfaction either. Of course, most everybody cheats some time or other. People always bend the rules if they think they can get away with it. … then again, that doesn’t justify my cheating.
       Then I thought, look, cheating on one little test isn’t such a big deal. It doesn’t hurt anyone … but then I wondered if I was just rationalizing my unwillingness to accept the consequence of my not studying. Still, in the real world, people care about success, not principles … then again, maybe that’s why the world is in such a mess. What a dilemma!
         HOBBES: So what did you decide?
         CALVIN: Nothing. I ran out of time and had to turn in a blank paper.
         HOBBES: Anymore, simply acknowledging the issue is a moral victory.
         CALVIN: Well, it just seemed wrong to cheat on an ethics test.

    Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist
    Calvin and Hobbes (1993-09-12)

  16. RE: mastodon.social/@naeemafamily/

    Last time, thanks to your support, Haneen was able to buy new shoes for her youngest daughter, Aylan.

    Remember?
    mastodon.social/@naeemafamily/

    Now the family needs help to get an appointment for Elias so he can have new glasses. It's been 2 years without consulting a doctor!

    Please help if you can 💜

  18. A quotation from C. C. Colton
