Recovering journalist. 15 years in higher ed. Here for the students. Proud to be back for my second tour at Columtreal University after a 13-year break. ((CU roleplay account. As fictitious as my chastity))

If the purpose of education is to inspire, I am feeling very successful as I listen to this over and over. You hear that #Columtreal students? "Professor says, 'Write'"

Brightest day of my life! It is a gift to find the right person. And somehow magically we have found each other.

The best intentions, sigh - stocked up on vital nutrition and micronutrients in Pop-Tarts for students in the disaster. Delayed by the storm, I finally got to the shelter only to see the last two students leave. A little late, but proud of #CUStrong for pulling through.

I'm very glad to have earned the age that I am. But this song by @aphroditekarras.bsky.social about the coming hurricane - and so much more - makes me want to be young again. At least through music I can feel young again suno.com/playlist/9cb...

A hurricane’s coming, so APH does the responsible thing: stocks up on booze, weed, cigarettes, vapes, birth control, condoms, Plan B, snacks, ice, and enough bad decisions to survive a Category Five.

Catching up on conference, thought I would pick the most fun parts to post about. Cheerleaders at their con interested in journalism picked me up from a breakout session. Will do what it takes to convince young minds to take up journalism and study in the US!

Yay Fall semester! Starting with next week's Intro to Public Relations class, #Columtreal students will 'adopt' Hathian/Laveau causes/businesses/groups/anything else to help them build awareness and engage/develop community (( the image is clearly OOC 😀 ))

Introduction to Public Relations
Public Relations has a bad name in part because of corporate thieves and political hacks. But dismissing all of public relations as spin is the same as dismissing social media because sometimes people...

Stepped away from conference to chase some 11th-century history 🕵️‍♂️ The Old Ferry Boat Inn claims to be the oldest inn in Britain & sits above the unconsecrated grave of Juliet Tewsley (1050 AD). Drink a pint directly over a nexus of ley lines? Don't mind if I do 🍺🕸️ Spooky energy out here #Columtreal

Before and after photos. Pro tip: Cambridge garden receptions are a trap if you have zero sense of direction 🌿🧭 The landscaped trails were extensive 🌳🌲and heavily wooded. Got completely turned around for 75 mins until #BCACheerCon volunteers ran search-and-rescue. Eternal gratitude! 🙏📣✨

Punting River Cam takes patience 🚣‍♂️but waiting in line with a #BCACheerCon crew turned into a golden networking moment! 📚 Spent the afternoon talking American higher-ed opportunities, capped off by spontaneous dancing by the water 👯‍♀️✨ Never a dull moment across the pond! #Columtreal

Love what AI can pull off! A rendering of the society digging to try to find Oliver Cromwell’s lost head at Sidney Sussex College ⛏️💀 100% fictional, of course. If you visit today, you’ll find the cobblestones completely untouched! Posting for the memory of something that didn't happen. #Columtreal

Exploring Cambridge's famous Round Church! Built 1130ish by returning Crusaders, it’s 1 of only 4 surviving medieval round churches in England. Modeled after the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. 🏰📜 Such incredible history around every corner here! (Angel photo via Google) #TSOJ26 #Columtreal #CU

Intense discussions at #TSOJ26 today, but this changed up the pace! 🎓📣 #BCACheerCon organized a meetup for cheerleaders interested in journalism. Selwyn College knows how to host a great mixer; fantastic meeting future media minds over drinks! 🍻 #Columtreal #CU

Wrapping up day two of #TSOJ26 at The Eagle 🍺✨ Solid discussions on journalism, balancing political pressure, AI, and keeping the public informed. Esp. when the public does not want to be informed Heavy topics, but solved over a good pint in Cambridge. Cheers to the free press! 🍻 #Columtreal #CU

More sightseeing in Cambridge! Had to visit the best-named shop in town: The Haunted Bookshop. 👻📖 Didn't see the White Lady but did find 3 cheerleaders from #BCAcheercon, also in Cambridge this week! Love that they were ghost-hunting between routines📣 #TSOJ26 #Columtreal #CheerforJournalism

Challenging dialogue about AI in classrooms 🎓🤖 Editors demand hands-on AI training; faculty argue our main job is coaching critical thinkers first, tech users second. Valid arguments on both sides; got plenty of ideas to bring back to #Columtreal. Hiring editors w/look for AI skills 💡 #TSOJ26

First morning in Cambridge! 🏰🎓 Had to visit Henry VIII at Trinity College. Fun fact: in the 19th century, students stole his scepter & swapped it for a chair leg. The college just left it there! Love the history everywhere here. Ready for a great week of #TSOJ26 discussions! #Columtreal #CU

Final tourist day in London: Ever heard of the "Battle of Blythe Road"? ⚔️🕯️ In April 1900, West London hosted a crazy occult standoff. Denied entry to the Golden Dawn, Aleister Crowley showed up in full Highland regalia, a mask of Osiris, magic chants & dagger to forcibly seize the temple! (1/3)

Sightseeing stop doubles as lunch spot: Jack the Chipper! 🐟🍟 As a Communications professor, I have to ask: 1️⃣ Is this name in horribly poor taste? 2️⃣ Or does 135+ years turn a serial killer into clever marketing for a restaurant in Whitechapel? 📝🤷‍♂️ Either way, the authentic fish & chips were awesome

Achievement Unlocked: Midnight at Cleopatra's Needle! 🛕✨ Joined my club for the Middle Pillar Exercise at a literal pillar (Thutmose III's finest work, found in London anyway). 🏛️👀 Just a little Kabbalistic energy alignment before sounding smart at Cambridge! #Columtreal #TSOJ2026

Running on 4 hours of sleep after red-eye, so touristed at Highgate Cemetery to feel like the liveliest guy in the room🪦💀 I teach Comms at CU, but history is my second love. Thrilled to see Marx, Douglas Adams, & 2 distinct Georges (Eliot & Michael) before Cambridge conference next week #Columtreal
