Kanzi was a legend, a trailblazer,acutely intelligent. Through Kanzi, humans had an intimate look inside a bonobo’s mind and heart. Rest in peace and may your memory be a blessing, dear Kanzi.

SCOOP—Emails obtained by @zeteo.com show Mahmoud Khalil reached out for help from the Columbia administration *one day before* ICE detained him. He said he couldn't sleep from threats he was receiving. He even wrote that he feared ICE "might come to my home."

Say what you want about Kendrick but the fact that people are figuring out what “40 acres and a mule” in 2025 is why any education to black history is important, no matter no big nor small.

Same. It replays in my mind how one day the women go to access their bank accounts and the are frozen. They show up for work and are told they no longer have jobs. They take to the streets and are gunned down. When it reaches that point, what do you have left?

Colleagues, how are you altering your assignments to elicit authentic work rather than AI responses? My final essay for one online course now is a portfolio in which students conduct an interview using concepts from the course, then assessing how well the interviewee answered + 🍎 #communitycollege

Looking forward to using the second edition of my textbook for Intro to Cultural #Anthropology this semester (University of Toronto Press). I’ve fixed some things that weren’t quite what I wanted and it’s better than the first edition 😅 Need new jokes now though, since they’re all in there.

2024 was the year I learned to crochet and sew but this is my first actual garment from a pattern from start to finish ( I’m so proud of it) 🤪 Boxy shirts pattern by AllWell and Tibetan Tiger fabric from Fluid Plus Drape. 🥳 🧶 Now I just want to live in a hobbit hole and make things #sew #sewingsky

I started crocheting as a challenge to myself a year ago, to see if I could finish a beanie. 25 beanies later, I am addicted. This simple blanket was a gift to my daughter and her long noodle dog, Maple. My job is cerebral and crochet is manual and I love how it tickles my brain in a new way. 🧶

I helped host a talk by @timjacobwise.bsky.social at my college years ago but it was not until the Great Reset of andragogy/pedagogy of 2020 that his words made the most sense: in education, you can either be a prison guard or a revolutionary

Discovered the strategies of Ungrading during the pandemic and BLM uprising, when it was devastatingly clear that assessment practices had to change. Changed my relationship w/my courses, allows students to meet the requirements of each project at their level. It is not “not grading.” #EduSky

Scoodie came out cute! The elbow still hurts but I’m doing exercises and using salve so I am hopeful it’ll feel better soon 👍🏽 Pattern is from @aver.paula on IG 🧶

Looking through my 94-year old dad’s photo albums over the holidays and found this stunning pic of my young mom, probably from the early 60’s

A young White woman with shoulder length hair likely in her late twenties smiles at a birthday cake. She is wearing an adorable shift dress with buttons down the front sides and a large bow at the neck. The photo is in black and white.
