The best way to get me to block you on LinkedIn is to send me a message when you don't know me. I don't wanna hear from you.

Data on disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, race, and more are being scrubbed from the Census website. This message appears on every page connected to the topic.

Outlook, grant me the serenity to write the emails that I must write, the courage to not send emails whenever I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Not a resolution (I started last Thursday), but I've been writing 2 pages per day and trying to stop at that amount to avoid burnout. I put in a little extra yesterday and today and finished a chapter for a book project.

Really struggling with writing lately (i.e., last couple of years at least; or maybe last 20 years). I wrote 2 pages today and that feels like enough and it feels like a miracle.

Started to write a work email and then made myself look up the official holiday schedule. Campus is closed until January 2, which is also the first day of my vacation. So I deleted the email and will try to actually shut down until January 7.

Just watched Carry-On. It was pretty good! There is a high speed car scene that was... wow! Also, does Jason Bateman put it in his contract that he gets to say "buddy" and "pal"?

Currently looking for perspectives on college math in #GenEd. If you have people or starter packs to suggest, thanks in advance!

If student evaluations are a source of anxiety, consider letting ChatGPT (or another ai tool) summarize them for you. You will get information that removes tone and focuses on broad patterns rather than outliers.

This is extremely useful!
