- Reposted by Adele PerryAre female economists treated differently than males in academic seminars? These authors wanted to know whether gender shapes how scholars are treated when presenting research. So they built a massive dataset of 2,000+ economics seminars, job talks, and conference presentations from 2019–2023...

- There is a lot to be said about Catherine O’Hara, and one of them Is that her Moira Rose gave us a version of motherhood beyond the usual pop culture choice of selfless saint or broken failure, of an eccentric, self-absorbed & deeply annoying woman who remains a good mother: youtu.be/iyMrBdyrusY

- Reposted by Adele PerryThe people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember: - Organized a city wide general strike - Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence - Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE - Flipped public opinion against ICE
- Let’s keep talking about infrastructure, about an infrastructure gap 150 years in the making, about infrastructure as colonialism, rendering some places perpetually precarious and often unliveable.

- Reposted by Adele PerryFor @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

- Reposted by Adele PerryTwo white friends tail me home if it's outside the hours when people are out and about. I'm damn near third generation Minnesotan. It's not just "you're a citizen you'll be fine." I'm a black woman alone. Who knows what they will do.
- I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.
- Reposted by Adele PerryI’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

- Reposted by Adele PerryAbysmal statement from Canada on the illegal US action in Venezuela. It doesn’t matter how much you dislike Maduro, that doesn’t justify a violation of international law and the UN Charter. You can’t call on “all parties” to respect international law and not call out US lawlessness.

- Yes. If you start with GenAi, you need to verify and check what it spits out, and that’s hard if you don’t know much to start with. All these tools are oversold and hyped, and they offer much more than they deliver, and people learning how to research are the ones who are the most short changed.
