imagine emailing a senior research fellow at the Moneybags Institute of Wealth Creation to let him know that there's $500 and a lunch catered by Sodexo waiting for him if he's willing to fly coach cross-country to give a talk

This is a KILLER bundle, wow

The Game Accessibility Guidelines have been put together by game studios, specialists and academics. While they are not an official set of standards or documents, they are a collection of tips and techniques to help developers make games more inclusive. gameaccessibilityguidelines.com

Finally updated my site with some course materials from this spring and fall! Among other things, syllabi for my first run at a Narrative Design for Games course + second run at a capstone course for our Public Writing and Rhetoric program: rheteric.org/teaching

Sometimes you read an article that makes you feel like... idk... 15 years ago, some of us got on an express train and saw what was on the tracks ahead. And now we're on a call to the people on the slower train, now approaching, and they cannot comprehend the landscapes we describe as familiar.

My semi-annual reminders about the FIRE annual “free speech” rankings on college campuses: 1) FIRE has promoted highly punitive and restrictive positions on free speech in higher ed. They lack credibility as a source of information. 1/

"The vague and subjective criteria of having a story that includes 'good talkers' ... end up favoring experts and guests with experience within and connections to white institutional spaces," writes @lauragarbes.bsky.social. current.org/2025/09/how-...

The U.S. Department of Education announced it will withhold $350 million of congressionally approved funds to minority-serving colleges and universities and divert the funds elsewhere, saying that the institutions’ admissions quotas are discriminatory.

Made a solo RPG that helps people build playlists and play out being a late-night DJ, and i broadcast and stream the shows people make and send in. I've done about 80 so far. Won an award and got some nominations too. Bannerless.games/voidam

👇🎯 Quite literally, the published course descriptions at most universities are <decades> old & incredibly generic because the course has been taught by dozens of different professors over many years & stop it, this is not serious behavior from Texas A&M leaders & we don't need to pretend that it is.

It's publication day for UNIVERSITY KEYWORDS. Across 27 sharp essays, the book offers a critical account of the political economy of US higher education, how it came to be structured this way, and how together we might build a better university together.

The eye exam is the perfect game design. That big E is a great tutorial that teaches you the basic mechanic. But it doesn't baby you and quickly gets hard as they introduce the small and blurry enemies.

the maga constitution doesn’t allow any institution, public or private, to explicitly work to ameliorate racial inequality but allows the government to racially profile

My school doesn’t offer a degree in Outlook, even though odds are very good that a majority of my students will be required to use it in their professional lives, and many of them will use it poorly/incorrectly.

Okay, Silksong is a blast but I think the Switch version might have a bug. There are a bunch of platforms in the world that are just out of reach. I would almost need to jump two times—a kind of “double jump”—to even reach them. Hopefully they’ll patch it so your jump is sufficient for navigation.

Got that Silksong fever, which means in the past week I’ve beaten Hollow Knight (basic/bad ending, after sitting dormant @ the entrance to the boss fight for years), started Metroid Dread, and geared up to beat Celeste for maybe the . . . third time? But planning my first run @ Chapter 8!
