How there may be a small connection for me between the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" and the "Barbie" movie.

When I was a college sophomore at Santa Barbara one of my professors came into class and told us that he didn't have time to finish grading our mid-terms because he saw the "worst movie" he'd ever seen the night before, the "Rocky Horror Picture Show". Naturally everyone in class went to see it as soon as we could. It's a great movie and still fun to watch.

Now, with Ted Cruz and the Republican brain trust attacking "Barbie", I have to see it.

All kidding aside, the Barbie reviews appear to be good and it might be just campy enough that it works. We will probably go see it strangely enough.

I spent a *long* time in #UCSB getting my degree, with no idea that the world's greatest collection of cylinder records was in the library basement (admittedly this was years before I became interested in the subject). https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2020-11-12/a-temple-of-sound-awaits-in-the-ucsbs-collection-of-early-music-and-sound-recordings

I’m a scholar of medieval (mainly ~200~1000 CE) Chinese literature and religion at UC Santa Barbara, and have side interests in digital humanities, translation, and world literature. I’ve written a lot about Buddhist poetry in the Tang Dynasty. I also teach Classical Chinese and a bunch of other things here.

Rallying with UC workers at Sproul Plaza while I'm far from my home campus. Our union makes us strong!

Week 1 of my stay at #KITP #UCSB and it's been really good talking with other white dwarf #star researchers after a few years of feeling scientifically isolated. And our babysitter is great. Here's an awesome tree on campus!

Here's a resource guide for what the academic workers #FairUCnow strike throughout the UC system is about and how faculty members can support it. Unions are a key tool for equalizing and democratizing higher ed. I hope UC faculty are standing in support & faculty everywhere are paying attention.

@connormorozumi this was my experience. My PhD program offered a whole pedagogy program (#CCUT #UCSB) but it was totally elective. In my postdoc we’re asked to assist with practical classes (labs and such) but this pedagogy course is a chance opportunity with very limited enrolment
