I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

We need to be able to see that the line "accommodations have gone too far" is an expression of the ableist notion that disabled students do not belong in higher ed. Its fundamentally an anxiety about the fact that disabled students get an "advantage" over abled students.

A local millionaire software developer is found quite lifeless in the Living Museum. Suspicion falls on Elverton-cum-Latterley’s two strange tattooed children found at the train station, disturbed that police Freemasonry might threaten the village’s remaining sourdough starter.

If I send you this, it means I’m using deep intuition to do some unbelievable queen shit #SurvivorAU

That was a great day.

The White House posted a video of armed law enforcement officers arresting the sandwich man

"What really her feelings were, I only could see from the diary. And my conclusion is, as I had been in very, very good terms with Anne, that most parents don’t know, really, their children.” —Otto Frank

Proof and actions count much more than words. Applies to both relationships and negative self-talk.

Hank would *never* vote for Trump for several reasons, least of which being that Trump’s from New York City.

Girl..... That's a bootyhole!

Sorry Superman ain't flying around, randomly putting brown people in swamp prisons. That must be hard for you. Thoughts and prayers and whatnot.

Unions need to be leading this fight. It is absolutely a labor issue

ICYMI: A subcontractor stored cans of gas (!) in the library parking lot (!) next to a building storing millions of taxpayer dollars' worth of media and irreplaceable genealogical collections.

Cannot wait to teach the print version to my grad students next year.

"Those of us working in higher education need to consider the valuable skills and literacies that post-secondary education offers that are not easily found or learned in the workplace, on the internet, or in the context of everyday life." Louder for those in the back please.

In my work with teachers, two beliefs about AI are becoming "common sense:" 1. AI is inevitable, resistance is futile. 2. Not including AI in a teaching + learning will hold students back in terms of career + college. Building permission structures for #AIResistance is urgent + critical.

Teaching about and against AI means working with students to analyze the connections between AI and environmental racism. In addition, educators, students, and community members can build coalitions for civic actions against Big Tech and its plans for more extractive, harmful infrastructure.

In these dark times, it’s great to come together and find something we can all take joy in.

With Righteous Gemstones ending on Sunday, I thought it'd be a good time to go deep with DANNY MCBRIDE and his whole crew about his life and career. "The funniest person I’ve ever met." -Walton Goggins www.theringer.com/2025/05/01/t...

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

Had an exhaustion-related freak out last night that I was getting sick two weeks before my vacation (which I’ve been planning for a year). I’m completely fine this morning, but man, seasonal allergies in Middle Tennessee are not for the weak.

The Internet of Things ended up being the internet of unsupported products. Google is ending support for 1st & 2nd generation Nests and completely pulling out of Europe. Imagine having to replace the thermostats in your home because of a reorg at some big tech meant it was no longer a priority.

Here News 9 we fixed your headline newschannel9.com/news/local/t...

NEW TODAY: 200 college and university presidents band together to condemn “unprecedented government overreach” in higher education and reaffirm the “essential freedom to determine, on academic grounds, whom to admit and what is taught, how, and by whom.” www.aacu.org/newsroom/a-c...

One of the hardest parts about becoming physically disabled as an adult has been figuring out what exercise I can do *and* actually like. At my last visit, my orthopedist suggested cycling at the gym. It took several more months for my stubborn ass to try it and…I kinda love it.

It should be noted that Buck v. Bell, the case that permitted forcible sterilization of "feeble-minded" people, is still good law. The Supreme Court has not overturned it. In Carrie Buck's case, feebleminded meant promiscuous. And it didn't matter that the ostensible promiscuousness was rape.

The Pope living just long enough to have JD Vance visit the Vatican so his Secretary of State could tell Vance to his face that he doesn’t understand Catholicism is a level of hating I could only aspire to in my wildest dreams.

at this point 2025 feels like being awake during surgery

That’s not the reason. They’re suing Maine because the Gov didn’t “behave” (humble herself) before Trump in a public meeting.

I love that Google's AI search window is straight-up a parody of bad AI search results. It really is a public service.

Am very, very physically tired but also mentally rejuvenated from another Cs. Also grateful to those who came to my presentation on disability and social justice this morning! I was a bit scared no one would come, but I’m glad I was wrong. #4C25

AI has SO MUCH HYPE, but it's all speculative, future-oriented without the attention to the present, only acknowledges harm in a distant and "it's unavoidable" way, with a sense of the inevitable. But it's not inevitable unless we allow it to be so! (#L24 #4C25)

Is it unprofessional to say “HELL YEAH”? Probably, but whatever. #4C25 #go #teamrhetoric #bannedbooks

This “Stitch and Spin” event is a massive success—there are so many fellow crafters here! Would love for this to happen more often at Cs. #4C25

You know, I’m not sure *why* BWI’s arrivals and departures are displayed on the convention center’s mobile device charging station, but I’m not opposed to it. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #4C25

Hi everyone preparing for #4C25 ! Here’s the “Composing Access” website with all kinds of resources and downloadable media for making your presentation more accessible (including comics!) u.osu.edu/composingacc... Also includes links to this year’s access guide and a history of CCCC access work!

If we teach technical writing as "prompt engineering," particularly to engage with tech as it stands right now--one specific platform and its imitators--we're not preparing students for how tech will evolve in the near future. (Sano-Franchini #4C25)

As someone who teaches at a STEM-focused school, I have been so hungry for a Chair’s Address like this one. #4C25

Also appreciated how she mentioned that the UX could have designed weighted alternatives of what it generates. That’s so freaking feasible, but it deflates the hypermasculine approach to credibility. #4C25

What happens when frictionless, reassuring interaction with a bot becomes normalized as what the writing process is supposed to feel like? What does that do to us as people? (Sano-Franchini #4C25)

All I can say now is that I cannot wait 1) to read this Chair’s Address in print and 2) to teach it in a class. #4C25

When it comes to linguistic justice, our actions speak louder than words. — Jennifer Sano-Franchini, #4C25 Chair’s address.

Very very glad Sano-Franchini is drawing strong connections between GenAI’s linguistic homogenization and “Students’ Right to their Own Language.” #4C25
