@roguewpa but yeah I saw all the headlines about literature departments who are only hiring for postcolonial and Af-Am studies et sim.

@Connor
It's deans or higher, not chairs, deciding this. Or at least it's mostly deans or higher. Too complicated to explain in a tweet or toot or whatever this is

@roguewpa lol did you turn on awoo mode in your client?

@Connor
Don't even know what that is. Using Fedilab on my Pixel and web interface on my laptop.

@roguewpa oh, one mobile client has “awoo mode” that changes all occurrences of “toot” to “awoo.” I guess that’s the default on some other clients
