@FoodForestNetwk @haymarketbooks hmmm. not really no. not an elaboration. certainly one could read it as exemplifying certain bullshit trends. but graeber says a BS job produces a certain nihilism in the worker, and this job was deeply meaningful for me.

@z_hu__ @cunyonstrike @RanknFileAction @PSC_CUNY @psccunygc It's all very bleak. Thanks for writing this though--has anyone put this kind of analysis in an actual doc or single page that I can share for my less online colleagues?
