You're going to #hear a certain (#Tory) #contingent #celebrating that they've 'Banned #conversiontherapy' but unfortunately the #legislation including a '#consent #clause' which makes it hugely #ineffective.

#Nobody '#volunteers' for #conversion #therapy.

One of the sad parts of being an adjunct is when students ask you to take part in really cool events or clubs...and you just can't 😕 Not because you don't want to, but because the time/days/extra time on campus just doesn't work with responsibilities at multiple schools.

Equally heart-breaking: check returned to sender because by the time our glacial bureaucracy has processed honorarium, speaker whose #contingent contract forced them to move across two time zones no longer known at that address.

I was about to frame a poster to give to speaker at the #humanities center that I run. Then, remembered that they are a #contingent #academic who wouldn't want more glass-fronted breakables to cram into a U-Haul a few months from now.

Now we need a modern equivalent for #adjunct and #contingent #faculty 😉

The '#world' does not just contain #numbers (things), it also contains processes of change which act upon the things. #Determinism is about the change, not the entity. All we are saying is that state changes happen because things are #contingent. That's all it is. Over time, things change and those changes arise from previous states. If #reality were 'a number' then there would be no change and we're not talking about that.

Here’s a lovely short clip from an ongoing project about the #contingent relations between movement and (sonic) #feedback, with my friend Maria Kapsali (movement artist & scholar).

"There is no bridge between historical, finite knowledge and God's existence and nature. This gap can only be crossed by a 'leap.'" - Vincent Edward Smith on Kierkegaard

Thanks @contingent_mag for including my #Science & #Religion #VeryShortIntroductions in their 2022 book list! Lots of other fascinating new books by #contingent #histodons to check out!

Historians use #counterfactual scenarios to fathom #causality in #contingent historical processes. Such has oftentimes highlighted surprisingly small events as of momentous consequences. "What if Cleopatra had had a smaller nose?" was Pascal's ironic exxaggeration of it. Still, whatever you now percieve to happen with Twitter and Mastodon, aks yourself: What if Musk had managed to wriggle out of his obligation to buy Twitter?

So introductions are a thing, I see, so here goes. I write about #disability #carework #technology #modernism #radio #literature #Ireland. Writing a #memoir but passionately hate talking about myself. Currently a #publichumanities fellow at #sarahlawrence where I teach undergrads alongside #seniors in an adult care community and develop #lifelonglearning and #creativeaging programs. I represent #contingent faculty on the #msa board and love to boost content from #adjunct and non-TT scholars.

48,000 #academic workers, #gradstudents and #contingent #faculty are behind the largest #strike in the U.S. since 2019. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2022/11/14/university-california-strike-academic-workers-union/
