My daughter said the same thing, though she was a teen in the following decade.

Congratulations!

That’s a long time! Good luck.

Quit making it sound inevitable. You don’t have to use it and can even turn it off in some cases.

I once taught four sections of comp on T/Th. So confusing. My husband teaches high school and it wears him out.

No, we don’t, because they would dissolve into tears and get their parents to call the dean to demand they get another chance.

Oh no. I hope you and Paul are feeling better.

Retirement dream job

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

What a fucking ghoul. It’s like yesterday never happening for that mouthbreathing idiot

Make it viral.

Make it so

Yes, we are so sorry…

Yeah, that makes it worst.

I could not endorse this more heartily.

Awful.

I got it, and I enjoyed seeing what you’ve been doing.

I’ve heard Ghost is not fascist.

I had a student in 1987-ish, when I was a grad assistant, who was very angry about the C- on his exam and was giving me intimidating body language, and I was worried he might punch me, but no, being shot never occurred to me then. I started worrying about it during the Bush admin, actually.

Absolutely. I teach composition and I am not giving up on actually teaching people how to write.

"Y'all are punks. Y'all are cowards. Harvard, Columbia... "y'all are sitting on $40 billion??? And you can't oppose this man? Either you're cowards or you are with him and if you are with him, you never believed in the things you were talking about to begin with."

Get some rest if you can

Black-and-white 1922 studio portrait of astronomer Annie Jump Cannon in profile, facing left. She is a middle-aged woman with her hair styled in an elegant, voluminous Gibson-girl updo with soft curls framing the top and sides. She wears a lace-trimmed blouse with intricate floral embroidery on the shoulders and sleeves. The photograph has a classic, softly lit, formal quality typical of early 20th-century portrait photography

American astronomer Annie Jump Cannon was born #OTD in 1863.

Co-credited with the creation of the Harvard Classification Scheme that organizes/classifies stars by their temperature & spectral type. She classified >300,000 stars & her system is still used today.

I’m really glad I bought an EV last year. I love it, and it’s good to see it’s making a difference overall.

My GP suggested magnesium glycinate, which wears to help with anxiety-based insomnia and that does seem to help.

For me, it felt mostly smooth as a student, BUT I was uncritical of it and very compliant/people-pleading. As a faculty member, I still think it’s a privileged kind of work, but it’s been much, much more of a fight to improve the institution and feel like my efforts are worth it.

Imagine if they just subsidized newspapers and magazines the way they’re subsidizing this slop

Oh, f*ck off
