Boycotts work. We MUST show corporate America that there are consequences for folding to fascism. #teslatakedown stands shoulder to shoulder with #BOYCOTTDISNEYABC. Check out the linked doc below for actions YOU can take.
I did a campus invite there once but didn't get the job. They were delightful people and it was a BEAUTIFUL campus nestled right in the heart of the mountains
Some blue line trains are still going to Franconia Springfield though?
College football returning reminds me that one of my past students is a Dallas Cowboy!
My meaningless opinion is that large conferences shouldn't generally have themes. The theme is the conference's name!
Stop saying you are "ethically using AI." That's not possible when Open AI and all other companies are eagerly spilling massive amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. Just own up to doing something unethical because it's convenient! People do unethical but convenient things all the time!
Just kidding. I think that word was created in a lab to annoy me.
How many times using "amongst" is too many in a single article? 3? 4?
One underrated problem with AI's use in writing is that it conveys to the writer they don't need to read because the AI will supposedly summarize and incorporate insights from some nebulous process of "reading" into whatever it spits out. Reading is where the best thinking often happens!

Y'all, Composition Forum has just published some seriously awesome book reviews that confront some of the most pressing issues within rhetoric and composition. They're all excellent and stand to benefit the field in many different ways: compositionforum.com
The Education Secretary saying universities need to align with the political priorities of an administration if they want to continue to conduct research is really just diving head first into the authoritarian playbook
Tesla's reputation is worse than United Health's lol
I think a lot about whether I'm actively doing enough to help my cat self-actualize
When did we decide on the IA abbreviation for Iowa and is it too late to change it
This image is a screenshot of a PowerPoint slide that outlines my presentation title βtracing the content creatorsβ along with some screenshots of Climate Defianceβ social media posts

Working in DC means experiencing 11AM coffeeshop Hinge dates where both people talk about losing their jobs with the federal government
It looks like Tesla Takedown protests/backlash to DOGE, alongside other factors, have cost Elon Musk about 25% of his total wealth, in case you were wondering whether people-led protests could still exert meaningful consequences in 2025: newrepublic.com/post/194568/...
I was going to get so much done today but got caught up reading about Basque origin theories again π€
Sometimes I feel my university tries to sabotage teaching and learning by making us use Blackboard as some sort of joke or performance art
We are being governed by a collective fallacy about things that deluded folks perceive as happening but that never ever actually did happen
It's the most tired comment ever, but imagine if Biden or Harris was falsely maintaining something clearly photoshopped was real and refused to admit the mistake. The collective double standard/lack of any basic expectation of competence & honesty from Trump is one of his greatest strengths.

Iβm leading over 175 Members of Congress to fight for the governmentβs free, easy-to-use tax filing service.
Trump and Musk want to kill Direct File.
Instead of caving to the billionaire tax prep industry, how about standing up for working Americans?
