TRAGIC: book chapter you were excited about based on the abstract in the intro argues almost exactly the opposite of what you're arguing in your dissertation chapter

and this educational deficit lands on the shoulders of ONE CLASS at universities—first year writing, a course almost universally taught by graduate students, adjuncts, and contingent faculty at US universities

took a book rec from several people I know from a reading group and it was Not Good :/

my partner lives in an apartment owned by one of the large corps in the crosshairs of the admin and their maintenance requests are finally getting fulfilled

very sneaky

Shorter: there are no jobs and pay and conditions are getting worse

Tomorrow there is a budget rally to fight for Public Library Funding. Our libraries need stable and adequate funding every year, so they can PLAN for programming, acquisitions, building maintenance, and paying staff. nycplan.org/may-26th-bud...

everyone, I have huge news: we are only NINE species of frog away from having 8,000 species of frog described‼️

2025-2026 Montréal Victoire, you will live forever in my heart

if there’s one thing about me it’s that I will make absurdly complicated medieval manuscript style art about anything

Today is the last day to comment to the FCC that LGBTQIA2S+ names, stories, identities don't need a warning label. This new potential rulemaking is an attempt at criminalizing the mere fact of being trans or otherwise queer, in the name of discrimination, bigotry, and persecution. Tell them no, now.

tattooing "they/them" on my forehead so people stop she/her-ing me all the time

This. God, this. It is such a manufactured panic and it started the moment they lost the fight over gay marriage. Support trans rights because it’s the right thing to do and also because this is all just a fascist push

cursed with "people kindly send me unsolicited academic werewolf literature recommendations but it's always things I've already read"

I have not been functional as a human person since the victoire started with the beer in the walter cup situation. there is only so much “hot gay people from my sports pouring beer into each other’s mouths” a person can take before bluescreening in a homosexual manner

remember when Google offered unlimited digital storage to colleges and universities and then when adoption reached the right levels rescinded that promise, capped everything, and started pricing those services without the subsidies? idk man just something I think about a lot

Abby Roque thank you for my life

how many overtimes do we think are happening in the charge/victoire game. I personally am saying at least two, considering it’s scoreless through the first and these teams looooove overtime

Marie-Philip Poulin and Laura Stacey please use the power of gay love to secure the Walter Cup tonight 🙏🙏🙏

call me crazy, but it's almost as if those viral videos of fresh-faced college graduates booing pro-AI commencement speakers are evidence that their professors have already figured out how to teach them to interact with LLMs properly

I'm trying to track down a copy of a book I've only seen mentioned in the advertising wrapper of an 1881 Burke's Peerage, but please enjoy some of the other things they have for sale.

I'm so pumped to write right now following my pretty successful kzoo presentation and a really positive meeting with my advisor. I'm shifting into werewolf mode

Teaching students to avoid "bothering" their teachers stops learning in its tracks, undercuts essential social development, and trains kids not to seek help (from people) when they need it. Its sole function is to enable higher student-teacher ratios. @aft.org promoting this is sick and sickening.

teaching/encouraging students to not "bother" teachers is how I end up with people failing assignments in my classes because they didn't want to ask questions about assignments and just didn't do the work/didn't follow the directions instead. why the hell is the AFT promoting this????

medieval shapeshifting/transformation just gives us such a wonderful amount of weird shit to play with, scholarly-style. you can do all kinds of readings and still find new stuff to say the next time you look at the text

I don’t know what to tell you, man. I’m a medieval historian, and, in my field, if you don’t check your sources (and your sources’ sources) you are just asking to be taken for a ride by some bored 19th C. aristocratic English antiquarian with a penchant for inventing history.

For folks who've been following the NYC Budget news, here's a fact sheet re: how libraries are still not being funded near the level @mayor.nyc.gov had committed to during the campaign nycplan.org/nyc-librarie... (cc @marisakabas.bsky.social @maxrn.bsky.social @katiehonan.bsky.social) 1/3

Reading a horror novel I picked up at a bookstore and who shows up? My guy Bisclavret!

best part of being in michigan is the beautiful lullaby of frogs ribbiting away in the pond across the road. in new york I hear nary a frog

Also, approximately HALF of the house members are MILLIONAIRES

SHREW PARTY

I’m sorry but if you aren’t sure of a citation, whether what it means or that it exists… why are you citing it. why are you referring to something you haven’t read or don’t understand? that defeats the entire bloody point

shronk

you cannot support his work in any way anymore

excellent Kalamazoo experience this year to be honest

AND THAT'S A 2-0 SERIES LEAD FOR MONTRÉAL

beep beep here they come
