Oh, man, I'm assuming it's one of ours 😂

Sometimes past us are truly the best us!

I've decided that I'm going to have my students debate who was "greater": Alexander the Great or Phillip II. I want them to be brutal! 😂😂

Is “Botanical Sexism” Really to Blame for Increased Pollen Allergies in Urban Cities? The story starts with horticultural epidemiologist Thomas Ogren. His major citation is that of the 1949 USDA Yearbook of Agriculture where it was recommended that “when used for street plantings, only...

That's awesome, thank you! I've been thinking about leading an informal stitching hangout at Kalamazoo next time I go. I do have one more marginalia but pictured her, and I'm just starting to design a fifth. 😁

My students think I'm crazy with how hard I hype up writing as technology. I, literally, get choked up in class!

YES!! THE PROCESS IS THE POINT! I have started focusing on this. I literally say "I don't assign essays because I want to read your essays, I assign them because I want you to write essays!"

Thank you! I've been rewatching stuff, but really want something new for the start of the semester

Do you have recommendations? 😁

It's amazing, and I just doubled my donation.

No cheating. Your last saved celebrity photo is your therapist. Who is it?

I'm not sure this absolute unit is qualified, unfortunately.

Thank you so much for posting! It always makes me laugh 😂

I also have students play Plague Inc, to simullate one of the diseases we discuss in class and write an essay on what they discover

I really like Plague Ports by Myron Echenberg. It's about the third plague pandemic in the 1890s-1901. It focuses on a different global city for each chapter, and talks a lot about medical inequalities and culture. My students really like it.

If you were forced to bet on which university courses of study still will be relevant in 50 years, languages, literature, history, philosophy, and arts are all pretty good wagers.

They have an excellent track record over the past thousand years or so.

This thread is phenomenal! 📌

An alert to all creatives using #WeTransfer. Basically, stop immediately! As of August, they will begin scraping everything you send for AI purposes (see the new paragraph in their Terms and Conditions below).

If, like me, you’re a voice artist, they’ll clone your voice. Avoid at all costs.

So fancy!!

😂😂😂 I think this is the only place I could post this and someone else would be excited with me

A white drawer with a black and white embossed label that says "STAMPS 7 WASHI" in all caps.

POV: your new, old-school label maker doesn't have an "&" so you use a "7" to approximate a Tironian et.

I was going to like this but it was ar 69 likes and I feel like Mel Brooks would approve 😂 and I'm apparently 12 years old

Here is a little story about the #earlymodern emoticon "<3" and the complex symbolic meaning of this typographical entity that I posted yesterday. Follow me, for catholic symbolism and some #bookhistory, dear #skystorians of the blue skies. Here we go...

That was my first thought, too!

It's a great episode!

The semiliterate people who use chatgpt like to point to calculators as a precedent of assistive technology but the thing is: calculators actually calculate.

A calculator really does let you outsource calculation. It does exactly what it is supposed to do, and marketed as doing, reproducibly.

a page from the mentioned book about dreams and their meaning from 1603. the page features the entry: "Bücher sehen oder lesen / Traurigkeit".

Have you dreamed of seeing or reading books recently? Well, according to a German publication about dreams and their meaning from 1603 this means: future sadness and depression.
