I already ate my emergency cookie and class hasn’t even started yet. Send help.

The unglamorous side of teaching at one campus in the morning and taking classes at a separate campus in the evening. Hashtag Car Naps.

At least he referred to the furry community and not some slur. Respectful in our bigotry, always appreciated.

Amazed that students don't think that I will search out the quotes they use. I will. And I do. And if it's not in the document...

Compared the modernist manifestos to a Facebook screed in class today then asked my students how they might quote tweet the manifestos if they were posts. AMA.

Grateful for every Kagan opinion I read. The parentheticals are always *chef's kiss* (Reading Florida v. Harris 2013 for CrimPro, and I was wondering about how SCFL's rule would work for young dogs, and then bam, "(One wonders how the court would apply its test to a rookie dog)" and I'm 😆)

The importance of commas: It’s raining, men. It’s raining men. Which do you say hallelujah (derogatory) to?

A lot of people in my dept favor longer processes, like abstract due by wk 10, feedback, intro/thesis and outline by wk 13, feedback, and then first drafts by last week with revised draft during finals. I always do the frank talk along with feedback and dedication to their ideas & improvement.

Finally getting into modernism with my students, and I am so very excited. Take that 1800s: stay where you were. History began in 1900. (For legal purposes, this is a joke)

Always thinking about how my advisor is drilling into me archival choices is so important to a project (which I'm glad about!), and then reading how a published book/article's archive was chosen because the books were within reach / on the bookshelf.

If I channeled Sophia every time I get called on to provide facts, do you think my professors would get annoyed? "Councilor McLain, please provide the facts of this case." "Picture it. California, 1971." It'd probably be better than the AI paragraphs others are reading...

Would find ”we should teach students about the Bible” a lot more convincing if we weren’t on a twenty-year run of closing down religious studies programs.

Today I'm grateful for working memory documents. Because I juggle a lot of different balls, I don't always remember where I was in a project when I sit down to work on it; working memory documents record what I've done and where I'm going (idea from Cal Newport).
