I, a very fancy professor at the state flagship university with a named lil mini endowment, teach in a room where my only option is to use chalkboards or a quite old manual projector and I must bring my laptop from home because there is no computer in the room. But sure, do this.

I would love to see orders of magnitude more discussion about what "swing voters" should figure out, deal with, suck up, get a clue about, etc and orders of magnitude less discussion about how protestors should coddle random third party's hallucinations about this section of the electorate

Great recs from @mattseybold.bsky.social on resisting technofeudal education: prioritize print, practice ungrading, "Luddify" the classroom; de-mobilize computer infrastructure (root technology in social place!); faculty governance over SaaS subscriptions; instructor choice re: ed-tech

If y'all haven't caught on I'm going to annoy the shit out of y'all with examples on how democracy is being fought for and saved on the local level. I want to unshackle y'all from the thinking that only the national horse race matters.

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people. We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

RIP. Here's an homage from Zimbabwean artist Chaz Maviyane-Davies.
Graphic of a fountain pen whose nib is in the shape of a gray African continent with South Africa in black at the tip. The pen is coming down from the top of the image, dipping into a black inkwell. Background fades from peach to light green. Words say "ATHOL FUGARD 1932-2025"

So interesting that adolescent black boys are perceived as hardened adults but a rich white man who uses his wealth to influence politics around the world and is eligible for AARP benefits gets infantilized as just a little silly goose. You don’t know how much this shit right here pissed me off:

Civil rights were won through protests and lawsuits and literally fighting back. We are not in unprecedented times. We are in a horrible reboot of Reconstruction. Fight in every way possible.

Florida State University had to cancel 432 courses because the state won't allow teaching about gender theory or post-colonialism, and the University of Texas system is restricting teaching about critical race theory and queer theory, and yet we're still doing this sort of story?

As usual, Republicans do not object to "language policing," they object to terminology that represents greater societal acceptance of marginalized groups.

Poll. You teach a 14-wk semester with 28 sessions. You want to assign a grade to reflect student preparation for class on a daily basis. Full prep 100% of the time is of course too much to ask. What # of class sessions should students be fully prepared in order to earn an A on this requirement?
