Next year's bobbleheads gonna be wild...

No. Americans shouldn't have to toil in brutal factories assembly dolls. But, also, people around the world shouldn't be exploited like this either.

We have to change the framing of this stuff. Protecting Neoliberal Globalism to maintain American privilege is just authoritarianism light.

We should all stand behind the @apnews.com, despite the fact that it has elided the difference between "over" and "more than."

A Tesla cybertruck on fire

"Burn a Tesla, Save Democracy" is trending because of the protest in New York.

You don’t need to burn a Tesla. They catch fire on their own.

Let’s burn racism instead 🔥

...from poverty to professor.

This whole country wants bad things for others more than they want good things for themselves.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

I approach teaching with excess kindness.

I assume if someone misses a class or an assignment, it’s because they are having a hell of a time existing right now.

I frequently encourage them to tell me if they need extensions or to meet outside of office hours. These students are paying to be here.

They don’t care. They don’t care about our moral outrage. They don’t care if people die. They don’t care about their gleeful cruelty and hatred. They don’t care about the law. They don’t care. Start from there.

A windy 27 degrees on Chicago's northside! Waves on the lake are nearly surfable!

Failing to build housing is a kind of migration control for people displaced by climate catastrophe within the US.

Possibly the best clap back against ignorant antivaxxers.

Abolish the phrase "sex with a minor," please.

I’m so exhausted by decision-makers in education refusing to invest in long-term solutions. If you don’t have the resources to do it right, you don’t have the resources to do it at all.

Terrible decision.

Being disruptive is NOT A DEATH SENTENCE.

Filling a gap in the move from Miami to Chicago research: tear your cuticles off in advance; don't wait for winter to assist.

Was it insane to think we could use the internet to read and express ourselves and talk to each other without the machine swallowing us and selling us for parts? Was it naive to think we might use it instead of it using us?

Today I confessed my dislike of the Farnsworth house....an architect unfriended me IRL.

"What Boomer commercial real estate owners will lose if you don't get back into office"

Pair with "quick question" and you've a list of phrases from which I want to run.

I've come to realize over the years that, just as much as I hope my classes foster *knowledge* about our subject matter, I also want to cultivate general, enduring curiosity; to encourage students to browse, search, and collect; to foster intrinsic motivation to pursue wonder + delight

Same....only one class left to prep!

I never cooked until I discovered procrasticooking.

News coverage of the Speaker situation would be greatly improved by more context that explains the role of gerrymandering. We see mention of GOPers in a few "Biden districts" without explanation that these people are redistricting anomalies up against safe colleagues with no incentive to compromise.

15 followers....nearly enough people for a Florida-winter, backyard gathering in which we argue about mustard vs. mayo-based potato salad.
