It's #SolidaritySeason and BU part-time faculty are fighting for the wage increases they deserve! Adjuncts like Meiya and Janet deserve respect and recognition for their labor. Stand with them today: bit.ly/3SPRhlR

Great new To The Far Away review! artsfuse.org/248921/cd-revie…

CD Review: Dave Bainbridge's “To The Far Away” - Prog Rock with Passion - The Arts Fuse

For prog fans who consider that the proof of the pudding is long, complex songs with virtuosic solos and exotic instrumentation, no fear: To The Far Away is multi-textured and musically exciting.

”Prof Bill McGuire, for instance, from UCL, told me: ’The obvious acceleration of the breakdown of our stable climate simply confirms that - when it comes to the climate emergency - we are in deep, deep s***!’” #FaceTheClimateEmergency bbc.com/news/science-environ…

Climate change: Science failed to predict flood and heat intensity

Scientists want a super-computer powerful enough to accurately project the most damaging extremes.

Last week, 8 BU staff members tested positive for COVID-19. This is very concerning because this is a vulnerable population. To my knowledge, the university hasn't told us how many faculty/staff infections are acceptable in return for being able to have in-person classes. /1

Debra Cash writes about the struggles of making a living in the arts and @WDeresiewicz’s book "The Death of the Artist” in this commentary for @theartsfuse. If things return to the way they were in February 2020, we will have failed. @HenryHolt artsfuse.org/212523/arts-com…

Boston is about to move into the red zone -- @BUSPH and @BU_Tweets can help prevent this by moving to online classes. How much longer can we continue to put already disadvantaged communities at risk in return for tuition dollars?

I say this as a grad: @Northeastern is a craven vampire that expects reopening to kill hundreds in communities it’s already gentrifying/displacing. Not only does it not care; it‘ll blame its students to remain unaccountable to its insidious, profit-based choice to bring them back
