Early motion for @merriam-webster.com to declare “enshittification” 2025’s Word of the Year

So sorry to hear this. Our pets’ memories are always for a blessing

I love this and would love to see the materials

Also the connections you make could be your peer reviewers when you’re up for tenure. Ask me how I know

This! At the end of the first semester I’m happy if they just included all the parts and put them in the right order. We have all next semester to get to more sophisticated reasoning & writing

The Sun Walks Down. On a bunch of “best of” lists but my whole book group hated it

Sending Penny good vibes

Halve. Toss w/ olive oil, herbs de Provence, salt, pepper. Air fry for 20 min at 400 (check at 15 min)

Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas. Queer/Trans Paranormal YA Romance was not a thing I had on my reading bingo card, but I totally loved this story and the world it created

Detroit Mercy is hiring ! Join our unitary TT faculty to teach legal writing and CivPro or Criminal Law. Bonus points if you know Canadian law (or are wiling to learn) because we also offer a Dual US/Canadian JD. More info here: drive.google.com/file/d/1HGLI...

I’m TT now too, but a lot of our colleagues didn’t struggle to get here and have only been treated well up to this point. They’re the ones in denial about how quickly the institution can turn on them

A lot of TT faculty think “the University would never do me dirty” but those of us who have been adjuncts/contingent know that the U will never love us back and we have to look out for our own interests

Five girls on a stoop in NYC

All of a Kind Family

Baby seals on the dance floor. Caption: stop clubbing, baby seals

Put the most important information at the beginning of the sentence (eliminates throat clearing phrases)

It’s cute they think he would bother to run (as opposed to just refusing to leave)

Saw it in DC last year and thought “I hope no other musical wants a Tony next season”

Recommendations? I’ll be there for a conference this week

Do people not do this? I’m constantly terrified tech won’t work so I check it compulsively

If you can get access to a peer review platform like Eli Review they can give each other feedback while you supervise. Also suggest “partial critique” where you critique one section of the paper/memo/whatever and assign them to apply your critique to the rest

Use “we” language instead of “you”language. “We will learn” > “you will learn.” Dissolves the prof v. student dynamic and puts you all on the same team
