When I was young, I couldn’t get enough of photography. But that was FILM photography, which was waiting, not knowing, expectation. I always wanted a Leica. When I could afford one, it was digital. So I never used it & eventually gave it to my daughter, who doesn’t use it either.

Adjuncts must keep shouting. They must tell students & parents that they're being swindled. So little of their tuition goes to instruction.

What makes academia a caste system? One factor is the fact that when you become a contingent academic, your career mobility approaches zero.

Tale of the Poor Collagist: a sometimes sad story about a man who has all the canvases he can afford, forcing him into the ruthless reclamation of canvases from finished works deemed imperfect. There must be new materials on the way!

My students never understood the implications of my adjunct-status. They assumed I'd be back next semester, the semester after that, etc.

I have a radical idea for teaching writing. I first had it 16 years ago. A writing class in which students write, write, write. That is all.

One upside of LoyolaUC's irritating anti-union emails is that each one compels me to tweet at least 50 pro-union messages. I hope it helps.

Why isn't there a reality show for adjuncts? A "Real Adjuncts of Chicago"? Maybe b/c it would amount to folks either scurrying or grading.
