someday I will figure out how to regulate my impulse control. Apparently today is not that day.

I am a big fan of the F word, but it still surprises me how many adolescent age humans are comfortable using it in front of adults 😳

In honor of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand. Nobody showed for auditions.

Watching parent behavior at a soccer game as the mom of a ref is an eye opening experience.

Fuck all and every website that writes their code to not function with a VPN.

Ew. No

a mosquito snuck into my house and I have been bit five times while getting ready for work. Live footage of me in my bathroom...

I don't think the Cubs are playing well enough right now but at this moment, there is a non-zero chance that my AL team and my NL team might meet in the World Series. 😱

Bluetooth sound systems are trash and every new recording is optimized to that

Timeline cleanse!! Wholesome video of crab going "WHAT IS THIS THING?!"

The left was derided for promoting a cancel culture because they went after predators and those who abused their wealth and power. The right is canceling anyone who dares speak truth to power. Both sides are not remotely the same.

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

Things are very dangerous right now, but also extremely silly.

A revision of an article. Then a tasty dinner #currentsituation

Republicans never ever waste an opportunity to continue dismantling any public good in the service of money and power

There is an undergrad student writing a paper in our lobby on a 1960s era typewriter. #acadmicsky #currentsituation

That both of Turning Point USA’s founders are dead from public health crises their organization worked hard to enable is a parable for our time.

If you've experienced domestic violence or supported DV survivors, you'll recognize the walking on eggshells dynamic. SSHHHH be quiet, make yourself small, don't anger them so they don't lash out again or further...

For the "Dems need to tone down rhetoric" people: Medgar Evers 1963 John F. Kennedy 1963 James Chaney 1964 Michael Goodman 1964 Andrew Schwerner 1964 Malcom X 1965 Martin Luther King Jr. 1968 Robert F. Kennedy 1968 Fred Hampton 1969

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

Both of the co-founders of Turning Point USA died from things that were preventable, but which they mocked and urged this nation to ignore. Bill Montgomery was killed in 2020 by COVID and Charlie Kirk was killed in 2025 by gun violence.

Congrats Mr. @jrwalkinshaw.bsky.social!!!

Never underestimate the ability of the US to overspend on something that has a FREE solution so we don’t hurt any conservative feelings

damn, too many to pick from. Depends on my mood. Watch with the kids? Aladdin or Hook. Drama? Good Will Hunting. Comedy? Mrs Doubtfire

And this gets even more convoluted in the teacher education arena where you have to try and prepare students for the reality within a completely dysfunctional (and under attack) higher education system

Other things NT-TT peeps should not have to do: Defending themselves from attacks on their curriculum alone with no help. Guess what I did this week?

Is the world more absurd this week or is it just the beginning of the semester? I swear people lost their damn minds! #academicsky

Sean Connery is the least convincing Bond.

recent post by @musicologyduck.bsky.social got me thinking: If you are in the U.S. and took mass transit (not counting Uber/Lyft or cabs)--just buses and trains, how long would it take you to get to the closest airport?

i live (clearly from recent posting haha) near to one of the biggest train hubs in America and i still couldn't visit my mom in the 15th biggest city in the US, Columbus OH, by train because there is no Amtrak station there. And if I went to the nearest major city in OH it would take 24 hours

Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits

Timeline cleanse with this good girl getting a shampoo

Dear university admin, Please do not send me new language for my syllabus three days before class starts. I'm not like the other professors, my shit has been done and uploaded since the first week of August, thanks.

#academicsky what inane thing are you discussing in your faculty meetings and what should you be discussing? I’ll go first: Procedures for travel reimbursement instead of a plan to deal with our enrollment going down 30% this year and we’re not even at the enrollment cliff yet.

Ever wonder what happens to washed out politicians who don't get a guest slot on FOX? Well Michelle Bachmann is selling extended car warranties on the Game Show network.

Just took two car loads of kids to the high school from our neighborhood because the bus didn’t show up on the first day.

Also-the mafia was a big part of integration through their speakeasies. Black and white jazz musicians could often only play the same stage (or with integrated bands) because the mob was in charge

I beg you: please stop calling them “faculty retreats” when it’s just a mandatory six-hour faculty meeting in the same building you spend all your time in anyway.

Some actual fact reporting by a major network. Thank you! But also LOL sandwich guy was charged with a felony? Authoritarians are really a bunch of insecure weenies, aren't they.

Need to fill out forms for the kids for school. Only option in person was yesterday, have to do it online. I sign in & it won't let me bec my spouse was the one who originally registered them when we moved here. SO WHY AM I GETTING THE NOTIFICATION TO FILL FORMS OUT IF I'M NOT ALLOWED TO

Whip that mofo

It’s very telling of our self centered culture that the mom thought to cry online for attention before she OFFERED TO HELP THE TEACHER.

Reposting to cast the net a little wider

This is pretty much how I feel about it too. (Altman is one of the biggest AI pushers if you didn’t know his name)

seen on Instagram: Instead of PD for the teachers, could we instead offer parents some workshops on disciplining their own kids?

The 2025 @aaup.org Faculty in the South Survey is live. If you are a professor in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, or Texas it's for you. Ends 8/29 at 5pm Eastern forms.gle/v7T3BH2w9LXs...

Pulled up my syllabi this morning to update them for the new semester--apparently past me already did it? Yay past me! Just need to double check Canvas now #academicsky

You've got to be fucking kidding me.
