@karenattiah.bsky.social, thank you for standing up for Jamal Khashoggi. I was his Freshman Comp teacher when he was an undergrad.

@kottke.org, when we mention these people by name, the statistics about their online importance elevate. Using a nickname helps avoid that prospectβ€”and many of us simply can't stand to type/say/acknowledge these people by name.

Waking up three hours before the alarm goes off is not fun.

I'm up, but I'm not up for being up. :-(

Today's paper-grading day, otherwise known as 50 Ways to Blow Up APA Style.

Where were rubrics when I was in college? Not on my papers!
