Me too! Maybe that's why it's on sale, 4 boxes for $8 😅

Wild turkeys to cleanse the timeline. I counted 15.

Imagine how this went down

Egg salad is not my thing but I confess that admitting how much I loved all the ready food in Tokyo 7-11s felt somehow very pedestrianly American so I largely enjoyed it quietly!

Ahh bluesky search fails me again!

I'll let you know how it goes!

Monday, my AI class will discuss @olivia.science, @irisvanrooij.bsky.social, and Marcela Suarez's Toward Critical AI Literacies.

Cannot begin to guess how the conversation will go but excited to see where students are on this!

A screenshot of Rachel Dratch from SNL. She's a white woman with short dark hair and blue eyes, and she's making an awkward expression that implies, "Sorry I have to tell you this and ruin your good time. But also I'm kind of not sorry about it." I've added a subtitle that reads, "That's AI."

an updated debbie downer sketch but it's friends showing her funny videos and she has to respond like this to every single one like this:

the enemy of my enemy is still my fucking enemy but i hope they drown each other flailing

To be clear, Kansas Republicans rushed through a confusing and disastrous bill, created a panic, and wasted untold number of tax dollars all to target 300 out of the nearly 3 million people in the state.

The flu is absolutely flattening my college - I have multiple students every day telling me they're down for the count. One tested positive for influenza A and 2 weeks later had influenza B. It's always bad with a residential college but this year feels particularly brutal.

To do this, anti-trans lawmakers in Kansas moved fast to change the law, overrode the governor’s veto, and pushed for the legal changes to go into effect nearly immediately. That kind of power—to void gender on official documents, to compel gender conformity—is terrifying and it will not stop here.

We shouldn't be basing higher ed decisions solely on numbers like these because higher ed isn't a business, but we *definitely* shouldn't let people use 'run higher ed like a business' as a pitch and then bury the numbers that show they're killing profitable programs.

No, turning over activities designed for your learning to a bot does not free you.

Undermining online learning hurts access to learning, especially for the not-wealthy.

Had a great discussion with @mjgault.bsky.social of @404media.co about Einstein and other online course autocomplete systems.

‘In the end, you feel blank’: India’s female workers watching hours of abusive content to train AI Women in rural communities describe trauma of moderating violent and pornographic content for global tech companies

when people talk about AI used in moderation of social media posts, you must remember there is always the human-in-the-loop, often a woman, often in the Global South, always dehumanised and forgotten

There are few idealists more detestable than the syllabus-making versions of academics!

Slow realization dawning on me that I'm preparing assignments to hand out to each class on Wednesday and that means syllabus-making-Robin didn't notice there'd be 3 assignments to grade at the same time

IRCA 2026 - Call for Abstracts Deadline for abstract submission: 17/04/2026 (23:59, BST)

This is the first conference on aphantasia I've ever heard of (was just introducing my Cog Psych students to the idea today!)

Honestly when we bought this house one of my favorite things was that each property has a lot of land and everyone has agreed to leave fallen trees around the edges and no one has fences and it's absolutely wild out there

There is a pack (4+) of coyotes in heat (I think) that keep tearing through my neighborhood in the evenings and very early mornings and it's like living in a post-apocalyptic wasteland with random choruses of squeals and howls just moving across the yard
