Are you sure you don't want a roller bag (or a bag w/ wheels in general)? Have you considered the layovers, the delays, the sprinting through the airport to make your connection? The next practical choice is a backpack.

Social media scholars: Why do I miss Twitter (pre-Elon)?? lol @teachguz.bsky.social Is it because social media is so fragmented, or is it more that I'm older and have to be more professional (e.g. no more streaking videos)?

I *knew* we were kindred spirits!! 😍I’ll have to tell you about my summer online Deception Communication course in which I pulled a “con” on my students to demonstrate how easy it is to be deceived. Those kids will remember that lesson for the rest of their lives 😬😅
