deadline: today

Today was the deadline for voluntary separation from the university before the real layoffs. It wasn’t that hard a decision for me.

Of course I’m anxious about the labor market’s hostility towards my age, race, and gender. Mine is a near lethal combination.

But in this climate of fear, where the Trump administration and the complicit mainstream media are hellbent on instilling passivity and compliance, I consider this my personal form of resistance.
