Great read — thanks for the recommendation.

My dog's yeasty ears smell just like warm pumpkin pie, and yes I need to treat them but hear me out -

at a moment of indecision i once spent an entire day describing a fencepost across two thousand florid words. the next day I sat down and wrote several hundred on the next fencepost, before shelving the project forever. i too feel seen.

The club password is “I wrote unattributed content for alt-weeklies during the Bush years and got paid in concert tickets and pizza and I clipped the article and I sent it to my mom.”

this would be easier to agree with if high grade thresholds weren’t a prerequisite for progress in many programs!

That’s a spicy take. Cameras in classroom critically puncture the privacy rights of families with vulnerable students.

Cameras undermine trust and safety 100% of the time for the tiny n% of the time digitized “accountability” becomes important.

Hey Bluesky, who’s on your imaginary bowling team? I’ve got Bourdieu, Coleman and Putnam.

Me too, please?

Have you read Natasha Warikoo’s wonderful Race at the Top (2022), about this very topic? Highly recommended!

How is it sad? Plenty of the world's best baristas can't list the precise phenolic compounds in a specific coffee, but know how to coax a perfect espresso shot from a machine with a leaky gasket and hard water.

nobody used to know where anybody was and now people are around all the time

Understood. And I apologize if I presumed bad faith. Meant to convey that IMO when are slides sent are sent sufficiently early, students who need can pre-emptively translate and anticipate/prep content, freeing them to listen to extemporized lectures and off-slide explanations.

Share slides. Lecture notes drastically improve accessibility for LD and ML students, reduce jitters, and serve as catch-up tool for students who are absent. Having notes withheld because of instructors' tough love approach is inequitable and gatekeepy.

Last week a 45-year old man sitting next to me did this. Flight attendant politely asked him use headphones. He ostentatiously complied until attendant walked away, then disconnected and went back to watching Kung Fu Panda 4 at full volume. Portuguese dubbing, btw. Psycho.

summer squash is as phallic as winter squash is yonic & i know you all agree

Same background! I think some of it stems from a compulsion to make something out of nothing, because there’s a discomfort with just embracing the nothing.

Interior spread from the book above. A page with images of crustaceans from a nature guide.

A hardback book. Spine says “Reader’s Digest North American Wildlife.” Book is dark green with an inlaid gold leaf chipmunk on the cover.
