Say what you want about Kendrick but the fact that people are figuring out what “40 acres and a mule” in 2025 is why any education to black history is important, no matter no big nor small.

Colleagues, how are you altering your assignments to elicit authentic work rather than AI responses? My final essay for one online course now is a portfolio in which students conduct an interview using concepts from the course, then assessing how well the interviewee answered + 🍎 #communitycollege

My husband asks “are you still wearing your pajamas?” Actually, I sleep in my clothes. Totally different.

Looking forward to using the second edition of my textbook for Intro to Cultural #Anthropology this semester (University of Toronto Press). I’ve fixed some things that weren’t quite what I wanted and it’s better than the first edition 😅 Need new jokes now though, since they’re all in there.

I started crocheting as a challenge to myself a year ago, to see if I could finish a beanie. 25 beanies later, I am addicted. This simple blanket was a gift to my daughter and her long noodle dog, Maple. My job is cerebral and crochet is manual and I love how it tickles my brain in a new way. 🧶

I have a worsening “crochet elbow” that is threatening to keep me from finishing my last project - a scoodie like the one blow. Any tips to get through?

I don't think I want a new year this time around, I want a gently used year like a 2015 or maybe a 1998 if it's in good shape idk
