We are hiring! 😀 Really cool opportunity for a junior researcher working in language and migration to join our @humboldt-foundation.de Professorship team and the Literacy in Diversity Settings (LiDS) Research Center at @uni-hamburg.de www.uni-hamburg.de/stellenangeb...

Anyone have any very engaging activities to keep kids learning after testing is done grades final? They'll have laptops for a bit but I've been told they collect them pretty early before the end of the year so there will be at least a week maybe two with no laptops.

Confidence without introspection is hubris. To never question yourself, to lack all inner doubt, is to throw away one of the most valuable tools of the true warrior. After all, how can you learn to be better if you never see room for improvement?

Projet Dernière Chance, en anglais, Project Hail Mary.

I've 2.8k emails in my Yahoo inbox; I've never given out my Yahoo email address.

I was hoodwinked! Thought I bought a case of beer, but each bottle was 250ml or about 8 oz. Who would want to buy 8 oz of beer that isn't craft or high gravity? Bought a case of subsequent beer swallows.

Enjoyed the Project Hail Mary movie. The book has more detail, but the movie hit the points it needed to hit without being disappointing. I was nervous it would be a letdown and was pleasantly surprised.

Yes to ending fossil fuels. The world is currently consuming more energy & more FF than ever. But it’s really not as simple as no fossil fuels = no war. “Green” energy tech generates its own forms of violence, far from the eyes of media. When it ramps up, so will that violence, especially if 🧵

People: We want the FBI to focus on the Epstein files. Kash Patel: Got it. We are hiring UFC fighters to train our agents. People: How does this help? Kash Patel: If a reporter asks about the Epstein files, you can rest assured that all FBI agents are qualified to put them in a rear naked choke.

Grad school, ASL Linguistics or Language Acquisition & Variation. And then during a tanda at tango discussing chompsky.

Most of the time, quite a bit. In fact, I pulled the data. Blue and purple are good days or above, pink is meh. Have yet to have down or awful days this year.

Help.

I bought a phone before I really needed a new one.

I'm not saying this is me... but I did find it interesting enough to take a picture years ago which I happened to recall now.

Hot, salted fries. But I love potatoes, be they home fries, hash browns, mashed, baked and covered with various toppings, dressings, or sauces, pancakes...

Mmhmm. Shuffling the cards doesn't change the game.

Fancy tub with jets and fancy shower that sprays from all angles; theatre; balcony

How are there 8 pages of planning for 8 pages of reading for 1 day of instruction? And probably no joy.

Incredibly proud of my friend and colleague, the newly minted, Dr. Reggie Bess! He defended his dissertation today: Black deaf students' experiences: Algebra preparedness from high school to college. He's done amazing work and I'm sure there is more to come! Nothing but love Reggie!

If you allow Zoom doctoral defenses, as you should, don't end the meeting for those of us online before the decision is rendered -- that's sus!

Family members that were loud and out Christians that didn't live in a way I thought very Christian. Then, I read the Bible myself, not just the snippets on Sundays + 90 mins of interpretation. By the time I took the Bible as Literature in undergrad, it was a wrap!

I think one way you can celebrate International Women's Day every day is through your citation practices, which are political and pedagogical choices, and that's my addition to today's trending topic.

Nous avons 4 instituts nationaux pour jeunes sourds en France et je peux vous dire qu’ils sont bien en train d’être démantelés depuis des années si jamais quelqu’un s’en soucie.

For the audiobook of TRUE BIZ, Random House folks and I invented a way of differentiating between English and signed dialogue by recording ASL sounds to lay beneath the dialogue. So excited to be back in the studio to do the same for MOTHER TONGUE tomorrow. Here's a clip from last time 2022:

I wish republicans fought to protect the right to vote as hard as they fight for the right to bear arms. Of course, we know why they don't. Further, you shouldn't have to register at all. It should be opt out.

I think this deserves at least as much sustained attention from US media as Claudine Gay's dissertation

I might not buy another house again. My house wasn't *that* bad, but there was always something to do...garage door opener, fence door, deck, roof, rest of the fence, water heater, trees... and didn't get to the bathrooms.

Figures... when I want to sit outside with a glass of wine or a cafe everyone in the city has the same idea. Like driving in bumper to bumper traffic - why is everyone out at the same time, going the same place as me - how dare they!

Caleb needs to be punched in the face. Trust the people around you or get around different people. Trust my friends and the Chancellor that proves time and again she has my back and will bend the rules? Nope! Steal a shuttle and wing it. Hasn't learned this lesson so it repeats. #StarTrekAcademy

Trust and believe they will figure out a way to blame Black women.

Yep. When you add events to your calendars pay attention to the time zones. Caught me last year.

Seems fraught to tie my identity as a scholar to a specific institution, but free web based email doesn't have the same cachet at the moment.

Mood.

Do it, it'll take under 5 minutes. It'll be done, you won't have to think about, and it'll feel good. Do it.

Writing is thinking.

Chicken Normandy. Better on the second day, as is often the case.

I'm not sure it was the first, but I'm sure I had no business watching Harlem Nights at the age I was! My parents watched it in their room, I watched it in my room with the volume all the way down. I watched it on my TV, but listened to theirs, and had to try not to laugh at the same time.

Nothing! That's not, I can retire right now and peace out money, but it's definitely peace of mind money. Go about business normally and your stress level probably drops here on out.

Consuming more media in French, mostly movies, podcasts, and newspaper articles, and it seems my understanding is improving/happening faster.

First time making Chicken Normandy. I halved the chicken, but forgot to halve the liquid. Whelp! The sauce was good with granny smith apples and dijon mustard. Think it would be good with mashed potatoes, but I used crusty bread. #GoodLunch

I get why/that people say this, but dont' underestimate this: all other social networks are invested in making sure that posts that link to journalism remain buried, or at least never go viral. BlueSky doesn't do that. That makes it very valuable to a ton of newsrooms righ tnow.

Pretty good day of writing, at home on a Friday no less! Think I'll pour a bottle of wine!

Abolish the legal gender marker entirely. No government can be trusted to have a database of which people have changed theirs, no government has any business tracking what your gender is "supposed" to be in the first place.

Just finished I, Medusa by @ayanagray.bsky.social in basically 1 sitting. Enjoyed the backstory and depth of character we're given from someone of myth, of whose perspective I don't recall ever having insight into. Also highlights the cruelty of Athena, often overshadowed by Ares and Zeus. 💙📚👀

It feels en vogue to be negative and loud. I'm hesitantly liking it. It's more adult and highfalutin than the first season of Prodigy, less serious than TNG or DS9. Live action Lower Decks. Moreover, I can't think of a single ST series where the first season was the best season. It's cool.

So actually it is pretty common practice for academic publishers to take ownership of copyright as a condition of publication and given that publication is required for tenure, people are actually being forced to sign away their rights upon threat of not having anything to live on

"I couldn’t accept that #accessibility tools were priced out of reach for so many people." An innovative high school student has created a practical, affordable #braille keyboard - and has distributed more than 100 of them through his nonprofit. ⌨️ #BlindNewWorld (Story via @nj.com ⬇️)

So irksome! Maybe I'm doing pancakes and hash browns. I want syrup on my pancakes and ketchup on my hash browns. If the syrup touches the ketchup, it is truly abominable.
