Friendly reminder that dishwashers made after 1995 or so are so water and energy efficient that even if you ran them twice fully loaded it would still use less water than handwashing the same load.
So many "green" things feel like sacrifices. Dishwashers are not one of them.

Having a blast at the Original Lilly Conference on College Teaching!
Just did a session on skills educators need in an age of AI.
Here I am with other plenary speakers and colleagues Mary-Ann Winklemas and Megan Kohler and colleague and conference organizer Gregg Wentzell!

If anyone is looking for a show, #SlowHorses is so good.
I can't believe I haven't watched it before now, but I've done a good binge and caught up.

Longshot question for my network. Is anyone in Hong Kong? I am looking for a book, and one copy exists in the world, in a library in Hong Kong. search.worldcat.org/title/513774... They won't even photocopy the table of contents for me. #FindABook #iTeachMath #LostBooks

Felt like I was working "scattered," so I went to close some docs.
Friends, I had 27 Word docs open.
Totally normal, right?

Very rarely, I need to use my phone as an actual phone.
When this happens, I typically have to stop for several beats and stare blankly: Now, where did they hide the part that calls?
It's a brief moment of traveling back in time.

The most important thing in writing is to finish. A finished thing can be fixed. A finished thing can be published. A finished thing can be made into a movie.
An unfinished thing is just a dream. And dreams fade if you don't hold on tight enough.
So finish the thing.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections
