It’s a great day when I get to teach “The Ski Lodge” episode of Frasier, written by the brilliant @joekeenan.bsky.social, in my television studies course!

Slide with classroom discussion prompt guiding students to detangle the many crossed wires in Frasier’s “The Ski Lodge” episode. Includes diagram with correct answers though circles remain unlabeled as to whom they represent.

Cover of Sick Work: Exhaustion, Labor, and Invisible Illness by Emily Lim Rogers features a photograph of two hands sorting orange pills into colorful pill organizers on a table decorated with flowers. The title appears in bold dark blue text, with the subtitle below, at the top of the cover. The author's name appears near the bottom also in dark blue text.

the directions for my third year review specify that I do not need to include any metrics for conference presentations, but the very concept of conference presentation metrics is funny to me. It’d just be like: I created 96 slides for my 15 minute presentation. People laughed at 87% of my jokes.

Artie keeps rubbing her little face on Molly Crabapple’s history of the Jewish bund. She assumes that that is what people mean about it being a useable past.

Well, they've finally struck home. #ICE has detained my former #umich student, Yousif Azizi, a PhD student in public policy at Virginia Tech w/a valid visa. He was arrested while taking his children to school in Maryland. After multiple transfers, he is in a detention center in Arizona.
