I know I'm on a "#Brightspace is annoying and lacks features" kick (bc I'm in the weeds with it right now), but just one more thing: My #IT team here at #SUNYFredonia kicks all the butts. Brightspace wasn't their choice but they're managing faculty issues with amazing speed, grace, and (most important) expertise. IDK if any of them are on #mastodon, but I see you and I appreciate the amazing work you're doing.

Well, fuck.

#SUNY #Fredonia has been waiting to hear that funding will be wildly, after the same happened at SUNY #Potsdam (departments cut, #layoffs, #retrenchment, etc.).

President just announced an all-campus meeting tomorrow.

SUNY has been systematically underfunding teaching-focused universities for years, while demanding we fix "structural deficits".

Whether tomorrow is the hammer or not, it all feels like a #setup, and I'd love to leave academia, now, please.

Was sorting through some of my Grandfather's mementos and found this from the U.S. Expeditionary force deployed in Russia, likely to Vladivostok from 1918-1920. One of those strange footnotes in history. #postcard #fredonia
