Enjoy that room while you can! I'm definitely going to miss it with the move...
I just e-mailed it to you!

NEW:
One of the most progressive institutions in the U.S., The New School, has begun destroying its humanities departments.
They have cancelled one of their most popular classes, "Global Soccer and World Politics."

Hanging on the outside, looking in at Canadian progressive media and politics or in the middle of...nowhere?

Nice company! Thank you! #envhist
I am happy with the crow! Too smart by half - which gets them into trouble and slapdash adventures.
on this sunday-est of sundays, syllabus-ing for a new term
you're not alone against the oligarch agenda of cognitive deskilling, data capture, surveillance, and bias:
we've got assignment ideas, memes, recommended readings, o' captain speeches, syllabus policies, and so much more against-a-i.com
Goes with my word of the year, which was “slapdash”?
