Lecturer at UW La Crosse, ECR, trying to get that leg up.

Trying to remember some stuff I was reading ages ago on the other place regarding the use of “disabled” and that it’s actually preferable to terms like “differently abled”. Can anyone direct me to something substantive on this?

Started an audiobook last night only to realize I’m really rather over shitting on academics as a reason for why amateur historians should have the same if not more credibility than trained historians. I’m over shitting on expertise in general, but my discipline in particular.

Struggling to get through grading I've been putting off for too long and realized part way in that I actually kinda hate this assignment. I adapted it from a class I was a TA for, and realizing now that it's not working for me.

My dnd group started with about ten grad students at the uni where I did my MA. Ten years on, five of us are still playing together, plus another we picked up along the way.

I’m terrible at side hustles, but also life is expensive, so I’m currently brainstorming ways to make some extra money while also being completely exhausted because I’m teaching five classes and also lupus.

I dream of a day when I will not always be writing lectures the day of class. I also dream of a day when I have the energy to revise older lectures.

Greetings, friends. I’m here; I’m tired. Let’s have some fun.
