Love to see this transformative scholarly publishing project that replaced double-masked review with a peer mentorship model and helped first-time and emerging scholars get published, open access, in a prestigious journal. Another amazing feat from @courtniewolfgang.bsky.social and colleagues. 📚

Countless teachers are bravely committed to defending the freedom to learn — & thereby defend democracy & justice — in their classrooms.

They can’t do it alone. They need our public support. Make some noise.

I wanna crochet this on a pillow for every white man in academia who assumes it’s just their *hard work* that has them riding that glass escalator right past every woman/ POC/ queer person they’ve ever worked with.

Happy May Day y’all.
#OtD 1 May 1867 a general strike broke out for a maximum 8-hour working day in Chicago, Illinois. An 8-hour day had been brought in by law, but employers ignored it. After several days, state militia were deployed, and the strike was crushed stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8119...

I haven’t looked deep into the provenance of using “skeet” as a Bluesky post shorthand, and as a person of a certain age I just…cannot*. Is it a flit? A flutter? A click? 🧵

#Students seem to have an opinion about #AI #GenAI use on #campus websites. They are not happy, especially the art & design students.

Better listen to them.

Imagine the biggest problem in your life being about which bathroom a total stranger uses.

Imagine pretending random people you'll never meet are somehow victimizing you with their existence.

Imagine being that hard up for troubles that you have to invent them just so you can play the victim.

I’ve been thinking so much about this garden of American heroes Trump has proposed. I’m keeping a list of possibilities and I offer them fair use. 1. Proposals submitted without scale reference, then executed at dollhouse ratio 1:12.

Our job is not and cannot be policing students so that they don’t cheat. The average classroom instructor is a near-fatally overworked, underpaid contingent thought worker. Our job is to help students understand why the learning is more valuable than anything the cheating can get them.

Generations of poor kids were sold the idea that taking out a student loan was an investment on their future and one they couldn’t afford to pass. Now after multiple once-in-a-lifetime economic downturns and endless avocado toast pieces those same poor kids are being targeted for immiseration.

@sifill.bsky.social reposting this with simply, eloquently “LOL.” is what the internet was made for. Every part of it, including the period, is perfection.

The way this city- the self-proclaimed “Creative Capital”- exploits and then disposes of its arts and arts education community when it is convenient? I can’t.
