Human Error Is the Point: On Teaching College During the Rise of AI - The Rumpus My syllabus is a mess of half-remembered intentions. I re-use icebreakers that I know don’t work. I forget to grade the first assignment until Week Four. I write emails that begin with “So sorry for t...

May the rain tonight wash away all these damn box elder bugs 🙏

An orchestra standing on stage beneath a screen with a graphic for Stardew Valley Symphony of Seasons

This was sooooo fun!!! It's truly amazing to think about the sole dude who created Stardew Valley making the entire game by himself AND the original composition of all the music. Sounded great in orchestral arrangements!

Ooh I would love to revisit this text

Maybe Nourishing Caregiver Collaborations? I just started it but it's so great so far. Caregiver engagement/literacy focus.

You can mention being featured on Edutopia/elsewhere as a model of best practices!

People sometimes ask me if it's nice to live with a pianist and hear him practicing music all the time. But he plays on his keyboard with headphones on so actually what I hear is THUNK THUNK THUNK THUNK

Oh my goodness Margery I'm so sorry. Thinking of you.

The handshake in the showstopper made no sense to me

ABOLISH ICE.

Pass it on.

My official statement on TLOAS: I can think something is objectively not very good art but still enjoy myself experiencing it. Both/and 🤣

Payday is usually a good day to ask for a few dollars more. I'm $310 away from goal with 5 days left to fundraise. Thank you so much to everyone who has donated so far! You rock!! fundraisers.nyrr.org/dan-barnes

thanks I'm really excited ☺️ It's so fun to reconnect to creative parts of myself I'd neglected!

My main genre from childhood through college was poetry but I hadn't written a poem in probably 10+ years. This summer I was in a multi-genre workshop group and it inspired me to start writing poems again. One just got accepted to @flaremagazine.bsky.social (coming out at the end of the month) 🥰

A photo of a light-colored cat with a gray face and ears and wide blue eyes. Unknown forces are holding up to the cat’s ear the handset of a beige antique-type touch tone phone. A rectangular speech bubble with a jagged tail has been drawn on the photo to indicate it is the sound coming out of the handset. Words inside the bubble read, ‘Maybe it will happen today…’

A reminder that if you're not able to fast on Yom Kippur for any reason -- and mental health is a health reason -- it's regarded as a MITZVAH to eat.

my cat is still upset about her (routine) vet visit yesterday and girl I understand. I also need several days to recover from going to the doctor.

@ligerlillie.bsky.social just read your poem in FLARE (flaremagazinecom.wordpress.com/on-a-shower-...) and wowwwww absolutely loved it

A box with handwriting that says "who you gonna call", and the brand logo says "goats butter".

It's not my business whether/how he observes. But to schedule things in a way that excludes the fans who experience the same other-ness that you did...not great. Again, is it a huge deal? Nah. But what else is social media for but venting about small deals? lol

This is so unimportant in the grand scheme of things but I'm so annoyed that Noah Kahan, who KNOWS what it's like to be one of very few Jews in VT, scheduled a rare show in VT...on Yom Kippur.

"Their language fails to hide the true message: The state does not want to help you."

Indeed. They'd prefer we just die off.

this is happening in burlington, vermont as well which is....yeah. super interesting to observe.

Opening up my laptop after the weekend is funny. Don't really remember what I was writing on Friday but my tab was open to "synonyms for LUMPY."

Sadly not real 😭

I feel that my psyche is unprepared to exit Yom Kippur and go straight into Taylor Swift release night.

If you say "carmelized onion" in a menu description and the onions on the dish are actually just sauteed, you should go to jail. My biggest restaurant pet peeve of all time.
