#AI4Good #HigherEd #Academia #AcademicSky #PhDSky Anyone else frustrated with www.napkin.ai? What started out as delight is sadly curdling! Aside from being so heavily used in LinkedIn posts, I find it struggles with complex themes. Has anyone got an alternative?

That would require constant regular maintenance for the duration of my career 🙃

There’s so much to do as an academic; I don’t want maintaining a personal website to be one of them.

My main observation about the news lately: many Americans, no matter their ideology, are way too comfortable discussing violence towards people in faraway lands as if they're not entirely real.

Thank you!

Is there an unpaywalled version I could get access to?

I need to find 3-6 (not-for-profit) organizations that my students can create deliverables for as part of their end-of-term project work.

Me: I want to organize a potluck for this class during finals week but I don’t know whether the students will be up for it.

One time I traveled, I didn’t check if I had selected the right airport till I got to the transiting airport. It was while I was waiting for my next flight that I realized how unsure I was if I was gonna land at the place I intended. That town has 3 airports.

Pretty flowers — I don’t know their names 🥴

I saw the prettiest flowers on my way home. I couldn’t help but capture these floral beauties.

I’m reveling in my new status as a PhD student without coursework. It’s so freeing to teach and not think about assignments and readings for 3 other courses.

I have exams that I’ve been preparing for over the summer so I’m not completely free but this is nice 😊.

Thank you! 🥰

First day of school, done.
