I lift the silly weights in the gym. I will mess around with my own words and sentences and thoughts out of it. See where it all takes me.

Looking forward to reading this book. The act of engaging in writing is so generative - why would you want to give this up and have a machine do this for you? #writing

MIT has a set of books labelled "Open Access" but it's a little clunky to find them on the MIT Press site, and so I've gone ahead and mirrored 400+ of them here: archive.org/details/mit_...

👀 lots of folks QT'ing to say: women — submit your manuscripts! I think what has to come first is: universities, fix your gendered service and teaching inequities, and society, balance out your care work, so women *have time* to write the damn manuscripts. So many women colleagues are BURNT OUT.

It should be noted that the original person who said this is @mollycrabapple.bsky.social - artist and activist. I find it odd that her name got cropped out of the original screenshot (from an article in LA Times, btw) and the uncredited version is the one that makes the viral rounds.

Wrote about how Bluesky is booming because it's giving users precisely what the tech giants are taking away www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/blueskys-s...

A text block that reads: The online world has become so hostile to users that Bluesky’s pitch of ‘here is a straightforward feed of text-based user-generated posts that we promise not to mess with’ is revelatory. Its scaling model and raison d’être are a very rejection of the platforms that have colonized the rest of our digital lives, and relentlessly commodified them. No wonder everyone seems to be rooting for its success, even if there are, pointedly, no guarantees those ideals will remain in place.

Same experience - I used transparencies in the first classes I taught, and I liked that I could write on & erase them (I've always hated the feeling of chalk on my hands). I also had to prepare transparencies for my first EGOS (2005, Berlin). Time does fly... 😄

Some useful advice I received as a grad student planning to "turn my dissertation into a book." Don't think of it as a process of "revising your dissertation..." Instead, write a (new) book that uses your dissertation research as a central resource.
