People with power will say all the proud and admiring things and then just keep on cutting the arts and humanities.

I use bitwarden cross platform (mac/windows/ios) and it is ok, works fine for my use case and I haven't had any issues with it. I get the not sparking joy, but just functional is fine for me!

Like it or not education is structured around employment, which is why I think education can’t be reformed while our relationship with work remains the way it is now.

“Students told us the temptation was greatest when they feared they would miss a deadline,” the report reads. IMO the underlying issue here is the labor practices these students are being fed into as they near adulthood. Learning is not about volume of output, but do these students understand that?

no this goes back to high school when some idiot guy told me "you can be cute or you can be hot and you're cute so you'll never be hot." lives in my head rent free. thanks, idiot guy. i also hate all pet names though so maybe that's the other half of it. to me, cutie is just for animals.

I don’t normally do this: If you’re an archivist or metadata sicko who is doing working to preserve/collect/organize TTRPG materials and/or Actual Play & you’ll be at PAXU, let me know. If there’s already something brewing I don’t need to be involved unless it’s useful. But it needs to be there.

my most unhinged personal alertness trick is drinking way too much water because then i have to get up to pee often (not great if you also have any sort of pelvic/abdominal stuff tho! and don't drink only water without some electrolytes.) snacks are also good - brain fuel. best of luck!!!

If you’re concerned about the loss of digital historical materials over time, you can write a letter to your dean or president about the necessity of funding and sustaining archival labor. There are people who work towards mitigating digital ephemerality and they’re being laid off left and right.

I don't think people fully understand yet just how fragile university-hosted digital resources are after external funding ends (especially if the lead academic retires or moves or is made redundant).

Important - and we also need to read these data in tandem with the catastrophic collapse in PhD funding. We need to advocate collectively for colleagues, students and our discipline, but may also need to consider what it looks like to keep teaching & research alive outside of academic institutions.

I personally 100% had it, but I also grew up in a small town and didn't move out of town so I had the same peers for most of my childhood. When stuff naturally changed year-to-year, I had feelings like this (why don't we play together as much, did I do something wrong, etc.)

Texas Tech is expanding its prohibition on "gender and sexual orientation" topics to include faculty research and student theses and dissertations. Our chancellor wants to censor the truth because he knows it topples the hateful ideology of MAGA. Knowledge is power, so they plan to destroy it.

ABSTRACT

Spreadsheets are widely used software tools for data entry, storage, analysis, and visualization. Focusing on the data entry and storage aspects, this article offers practical recommendations for organizing spreadsheet data to reduce errors and ease later analyses. The basic principles are: be consistent, write dates like YYYY-MM-DD, do not leave any cells empty, put just one thing in a cell, organize the data as a single rectangle (with subjects as rows and variables as columns, and with a single header row), create a data dictionary, do not include calculations in the raw data files, do not use font color or highlighting as data, choose good names for things, make backups, use data validation to avoid data entry errors, and save the data in plain text files.
