all my thoughts are being funnelled

into the Cs proposal I'm writing.  So I'm just going to direct you elsewhere:

• to Timothy Burke, to think about the difference(s) between disciplinarity and departmentalism;
• to blue milk, to think about why paid maternity leave and carers leave are important; and
• to IHE, for Bob Sommer's thoughts on the relationship of teaching and grading (specifically exam-giving and -grading).

(FWIW, I agree with the first two and disagree with the last.  Or rather, I think that he's right about the problem as exams and pedagogy are generally understood in relation to teaching, but I think that's a misapprehension.  Which isn't to say that I'm not deeply aware of and sympathetic to the problem of large, under-funded institutions.)
