Heck yeah! Today’s a fantastic day to support local small businesses and local artists! ❤️
Mammogram day at my local Catholic hospital. The woman checking me in, my practitioner, and I all ended up in tears for at least a few moments at different points in our conversations about women’s medical research, practice, and patient experience. I stopped for some nature therapy on my way home.
Sitting in the Chronicle of Higher Ed’s webinar, “Donald Trump and Higher Ed: What’s Next?” We were invited to submit questions in advance; surprised that “WTAF?!?” has not yet surfaced on the list.
I spent seven years teaching at an R1 and another decade+ in community colleges. In my experience, it’s more about (older) faculty self perception as gatekeepers than about students’ actual preparation (which is also problematic, often due to basic needs deficits).
Honestly, I think it has a lot more to do with tenured faculty who have doubled down on being the sage on the stage whose core mission is to weed out students who “don’t belong in college.” (Not All Faculty, but enough)
Agreed. In my experience, though, Higher Ed breeds innovation as marketable intellectual property (research), while the instructional practice side of its mission has largely stagnated (education).
Once you have found a few of us, look at the list of folx we are following to help speed up locating mutual friends 💋❤️
Quadruple Taurus: no lies detected.
No lies detected.
From the speaker at the higher ed conference I’m attending this weekend: “Higher ed excels in resisting change, not making change.” Sounds about right.
I’m in a hotel in Seattle for a work conference and we still have power, as does my house (though the storm is LOUD and taking down LOTS of tree). Thankfully, we’re not in the snow zone.
Same, but swap Saturn for Mars…
It took me all week to find my copy on my shelves. Thanks for inspiring the search.
It’s 5pm on a rainy Saturday. I have some linen being dyed one droplet of melting ice at a time downstairs while I lounge in the tub reading The Misfit’s Manifesto. I’m having vaguely intrusive dinner thoughts, but just added hot water so I can luxuriate for one more chapter. Small pleasures FTW.
Nice to meet you, Bluesky. ❤️
