if you know a lot of stuff i think it is your moral duty to be kind and excited when people learn stuff for the first time. the world is full of stuff we don't know about, don't be mean

This is Maggie. She saw this tree blossoming into its true colors and thought of you. 13/10
a golden retriever sits and looks directly at the camera. a gigantic tree is in full, bright pink blooms that completely fills the top half of the frame. both the dog’s fur and the tree are shimmering a little in the sunlight. in a delightful coincidence, the dog’s tongue almost perfectly matches the blossoms behind her.

Finally home and in bed after a long day of panels and travel... and already making plans for next year's conference (and things to do between now and then!). Is this what it's like to be an area chair? Thanks for an excellent time in NOLA, @pcaaca.bsky.social! Looking forward to Atlanta 🫡

I talked with a student and they are going to apply to a conference! This is the first time I have done anything like this! But they've been doing so great this semester and there are a couple small online things going on this summer I think would work great. I feel like a real professor! Exciting 🤩

...but how awful that they instinctively assume they're going to get a bad response? How horrible is the academic institution as a whole that they've been primed to expect harsh punitive relationships with their professors? I want to stay so I can help change this but also man, this sucks

I know I complain about students who can't follow directions or who just don't seem to put in the effort but every so often you get a heartbreaking email and it's just like. Idk man. This is why I do this, so that students have someone who is going to respond kindly and help them...

Tweet from @dril with an edit. Original says:

“Food $200
Data $150
Rent $800
Candles $3,600
Utility $150
someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this. my family is dying”

The edit is that the candles line is crossed out and replaced with “Tariffs: $6 trillion”

Just got my first job response that was neither an acceptance nor a rejection but a "we've put this position on hold while we reevaluate our hiring needs at this time" so, y'know, that's great and cool and I'm totally chill this is fine

I love this story by Keith Uhlig, and particularly the ending: "I think for a lot of us LGBT people, the message resonates," Mountain said. "Maybe people tell you you can't do something, but you can go ahead and do it anyway.""

Should I derail a really irritating and pedantic discussion in my group chat's pedagogy channel by sharing this
A tumblr text post thread:
User sisterofiris: hey students, here's a pro tip: do not write an email to your prof while you're seriously sick. Signed, a person who somehow came up with "dear hello, I am sick and not sure if I'll be alive to come tomorrow and I'm sorry, best slutantions, [name]".
User yay855: I mean, if someone wrote that to me, I'd probably believe they were sick.
User rox-and-prose: "slutantions" has me crying laughing 
User hydro-punk: I once emailed my professor with a migraine. A mistake.
"I amsick will not to choir because I have a heache. I hope its very and I am so sorry
Love,
Blue"
The subject line was "OW"
User xakumi: THE SUBJECT LINE IS THE BEST PART JSJFJSKDJS JUST IMAGINE GETTING AN EMAIL WITH NO CONTEXT OTHER THAN "OW"
User womenlovewords: I once sent an email to a professor with the subject line: "Helo I am dying tofay."
And the body of the message was just "head ow"
The context was that I got a concussion, forgot that someone else had already told my professors I wasn't going to be in class, and decided I must send them my own message. I got replies to it telling me to go back to bed.

Growing up in upstate NY/VT, I often heard from my family that VT would be the next state to secede from the union... idk how much of that was incoherent rightwing rambling, but it was very much this "yeah vt is different, we are our own thing thank you very much"

She is now big bean!!
A fluffy black cat with green eyes is flipped over on a bed with llama printed sheets. She is contorted in that weird cat way, where she is all sorts of akimbo, head upside down and legs in different directions, but looking directly at the camera. Her belly is exposed, showing that she has a large white spot.

She was chilling but when she found out we were taking a picture for you she came to say hi

Teaching isn’t whatever romantic ideal you have of Michelle Pfeiffer in Dangerous Minds or Robin Williams in Dead Poets Society. It’s constant power struggles, constant emotional labor, for little pay and little acknowledgement.

Somehow all of us who teach are supposed to go to work tomorrow and stand in front of a room of people who hate school and hate reading and hate learning, and we’re supposed to pretend like anything we do or say matters in a country that also hates education.

The continued focus of the media and general public on Columbia’s loss of $400 million which is a much smaller sum of money to an Ivy League institution than $100 million is to Maine is elitist bullshit that treats regional schools and their student and alum communities like we are disposable
