I'm tired of hearing myself talk. What's your favorite strategy for teaching nonimportation that doesn't involve a lot of lecturing.

According to reaction papers this week, students are hungry for historical perspective on the Alien and Sedition Acts. Obvious reasons why. Any advice on recent writing to help contextualize these historically? I want to help them navigate this moment best I can.

So, my lecture for Tuesday is about how government troops invaded an American city and shot several people, then declared that it was justified because their troops were being harassed by locals ruffians.

Any advice on how to get through this lecture without completely losing my shit appreciated.

I’m sorry, what? We’ll stop murdering citizens when you give us your voter rolls??? So, ICE is now enforcing election law? When the fuck did this happen?

It’s like they read the grievances and thought, β€œwow,whoever this guy is, he sounds awesome.”

I’m so depressed by the world that I’m googling β€œheated rivalry interior design” instead of working on tomorrow’s lecture.

I've reached the point in my career where I don't use notes anymore. I just lecture off my slides. I don't know if that means I'm experienced or just lazy.

I don’t think β€œenshittification” is a strong enough word to describe where we are anymore.

Come to think of it, Norway didn’t give me the Peace Prize either, so I guess I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of peace, so will now just think about what is good and proper for me.
