If you teach a media literacy class or any low-level introduction to media class, mind sending me your syllabus? Thank you!

Also, why are they doing this report so early?

I usually wake up with the Today show.

Today it was Pete Hegseth delivering an argument and update on Epic Fury. Not the Monday I wanted. I got so angry listening to him. 🤬

I always love talking about professional wrestling! @thepwsa.bsky.social @mpcaaca.bsky.social

I'm just glad I appeared competent in our first Zoom meeting last week! Hopefully only a few people think I'm an idiot, not the whole class.

THEN in sending "ignore" emails, I sent to one who needs the assignment. Sent an ignore the ignore.

Tomorrow starts week two of that class. I now look like an idiot.

This is why I shouldn't email before 7am. *facepalm*

Sent a message to students via Canvas. Sent to all who hadn't submitted forgetting that there was nothing to submit...so it sent to everyone in the class regardless of grade.

McPherson College is hiring for a Tenure-track Assistant Professor of English. I'm not on the search committee, so I can't answer specific questions, but happy to answer questions about working here!

Come work with me!

Journalists & journalism teachers: what do you do with your old editions of the AP Stylebook? Do you keep them? Recycle them?

Statista - The Statistics Portal Find statistics, consumer survey results and industry studies from over 22,500 sources on over 60,000 topics on the internet's leading statistics database

Do I know anyone with a paid Statista.com account?

I just found $70 in cash on my desk. I should clean it more often.

(This is not a normal occurrence. I collected money for a colleague's baby shower group gift.)

Nothing like the beginning of a new semester to clean your desk/office.

Okay. I slacked at writing more. But it's because I just got so excited about the class and got caught up in a whirlwind of creation. Yay!

Have you ever thought about how weird the word "dungeon" is?

First, I typed "poopular culture" on the syllabus. Shit.

I'm working on my Pop Culture course today. Here's a thread of things I've thought about while doing so...

I'll be adding throughout the day! So check back.

I don't want them to do the work for a speech outline and then not give that speech...

(Happy to explain how I teach the class if you DM me.)

Does anyone have any interesting assignments focused on outlines? Aside from speech or paper outlines?

The way I teach public speaking no longer stresses outlines for speeches (well, I stress it, but there are no assignments for outlines) and I want them to still build that skill.

The worst part about listening to good music via headphones is the inability* to sing along with it in public.

*socially acceptable inability. I am in a library after all.

My daughter is now old enough that her weekly fee for daycare went down.

I'm both excited by this and utterly saddened. My baby isn't a baby anymore. 😭😭

I am by no means alone in this nor the first to complain, but I wish there were more "baby and me" type things in the evenings and not just during workdays. There are so many cool events, but they're all 9-11am on Tuesdays or something. Not conducive to working parents.

About 4 years ago, I emailed our VPSA to see if she'd mind being "killed" for a murder mystery in class.

I presented on the class activity at BEA in 2025. Presenters were invited to submit their activity to a special issue of Journal of Media Education. Read about the activity here:

#Discord isn't working properly on my Mac since updating to Sequoia 15.6. I can open it, I'll get notifications, but I can't click into any of the servers. Is anyone else having this issue?

I have restarted my computer multiple times and just reinstalled the app. None of that has solved the issue.

My alarm is not set this morning and yet I wake up at 6am. Stupid.

“I’ll brew you a cup while I spill the tea.” Okay, Fisher Price. I see you.

It takes very little to make me giddy. Conditional formatting on Excel is one of those things.

Related: does it ever get less nerve wracking to go to sleep while the baby has a fever? I’m super tired but so anxious that she’ll silently need me while I’m asleep and I won’t know…

My daughter has had a fever four times. Three of the four times the fever started on a Monday. Weird. Case of the Mondays?

“Trump is using military forces to stop a protest — I want y'all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us.”
