It's hard to focus on work when I'm halfway through Paris Hilton's memoir and all I want to do is finish it immediately.

Finally organizing and cleaning up (aka, deleting lots of) my messy file backlog and I'm surprisingly enjoying it so far. Kind of cathartic.

My new favorite thing to do is tell friends when something they have written has had a positive impact on students that I work with. Often people write and research and never hear how it can really positively impact someone, so why not let them know?

Caught up on #TheGoldenBachelorette Men Tell All episode and the part where the Gay Men's Chorus of LA sang the song that Kim wrote for Joan made me really happy, so if you're in the mood for something super wholesome and a little cheesy: youtu.be/r5elEUsZMZ0?...

The process is where the learning happens. Take that away and what's the point? If faculty are using AI to create the lessson plan and assignments, students are ChatGPTing the essay, and faculty are using AI to grade it, what are we even doing? Where is the education happening?

I'm working on a keynote & I want to spend some time at the end shouting out some of the amazing efforts that have gone to support Openness, whether it's #OpenSource, #OpenAccess, #OpenEd, etc.
They can be individuals or groups, but I'm curious: who/what would you give a shout-out to?

Unexpectedly working from home today, so having to try to function without my planner (with detailed to-do list), which is on my desk at work.

Even with an extended deadline, I still managed to leave this entire proposal for the last day. But it has been miraculously submitted!
I was about to real quick throw together a conference proposal on the day of the deadline, like you do, but first checked the website and saw they extended the deadline. By several weeks! I have been given the gift of time.
