Kassie Jo

As a child, people assumed I was a Molly (the glasses), but I’m obviously a Kirsten (willing to risk it all to have a pet raccoon).

Britney was born on the day John Brown was executed?

I’m also giving them extra credit if they do bonus transcribing (and aren’t too traumatized): crowd.loc.gov

We truly are the Turkey and Nippers of coming up with deranged classroom activities.

screenshot of a text convo showing i replied to kassie's idea of "hand out contracts they need to make copies of" with "and make them turn their chairs to face the wall" because i am deranged, i guess, but it does add to the bartleby experience accuracy.

i would like credit for suggesting they face the wall (but maybe i don't want credit for being mean like that)

Ah Bartleby! Ah finals week!

For Bartleby day, I had students copy 19th century legal documents by hand until they appropriately protested. They made it 7 minutes. So much longer than I expected!

Why won’t Silicon Valley invest millions in me? If I chug a ton of water, I can also write a mediocre essay and lie.

This one has been looping in my head today. youtu.be/7U8aOHtpITs?...

Annoying my family by pointing out every time a loon call in a movie is geographically inappropriate.

JOHN BROWN DAY!

Told my students to do their vocal warmups before class. Foreshadowing.

Is it really my fault if the soft animal of my body loves to start shit?

Me in my office after no one at work recognized my Wisconsin culture on the 50th anniversary:

I feel like I am a professor in the same way that a dog is sometimes the mayor.

Finally, a student has taken me up on my longstanding extra credit offer and made an “Emerson’s Transparent Eyeball” costume.

Give me one good reason why “The Minister’s Black Veil” isn’t just the male loneliness epidemic.

I’ve made mockups for my official proposal.

they’ve been doing this, as I reported years ago! www.thedailybeast.com/why-ai-is-de...

Sure, but if it was a ball PIT you’d all change your tunes pretty quick.

A student tried to explain Disney’s Descendants to me and every new piece of information made me more distressed.

What do you mean the villains are trapped on a prison island? It’s a slum? And they raise their children there?! BECAUSE THE CHILDREN ARE ALL ASSUMED TO BE VILLAINS FROM BIRTH?!?!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

Can Sarah Marshall of @yourewrongabout.bsky.social do the audiobook?

Some days when I read Emerson, I want to give him a swirlie.

Some days, like today, I just feel like dudes rock 🤙 y’know?

Happy (not quite) birthday to Hannah Crafts, whose precise date of birth is unknown (circa 1830), but who still deserves to be celebrated!

Lots of options but let's go classic on this one and say that time we shitposted so hard they put it in a peer reviewed journal and then that issue won a prize 🐳

Anyone who knows the concussion protocol want to critique my form here? I tried my best.

The only history I’m interested in these days: today is Snoopy’s 75th bday.

Remember last year when I asked the chancellor what admin’s plan was when people started calling for professors to get fired and he lectured me about classroom management? You think it’s okay to circle back to that now that professor in the system are getting fired?

How much money do I need to become the most unhinged Real Housewife and would you donate to my GoFundMe?
