if you know a lot of stuff i think it is your moral duty to be kind and excited when people learn stuff for the first time. the world is full of stuff we don't know about, don't be mean

Finally home and in bed after a long day of panels and travel... and already making plans for next year's conference (and things to do between now and then!). Is this what it's like to be an area chair? Thanks for an excellent time in NOLA, @pcaaca.bsky.social! Looking forward to Atlanta 🫡

Surprisingly cold, potentially diseased, and everyone around instantly knows I'm a tourist, but I *had* to do it

I talked with a student and they are going to apply to a conference! This is the first time I have done anything like this! But they've been doing so great this semester and there are a couple small online things going on this summer I think would work great. I feel like a real professor! Exciting 🤩

Today I got the best compliment a teacher can get: a student told me I'm basically the professor version of Miss Frizzle 🤩 if you need me, I'll be off managing this massive ego 💁🏻‍♀️

Morgana has been trying to pick up the emotional support animal slack and lemme tell you, right now she's knocking it out of the park

I know I complain about students who can't follow directions or who just don't seem to put in the effort but every so often you get a heartbreaking email and it's just like. Idk man. This is why I do this, so that students have someone who is going to respond kindly and help them...

Just got my first job response that was neither an acceptance nor a rejection but a "we've put this position on hold while we reevaluate our hiring needs at this time" so, y'know, that's great and cool and I'm totally chill this is fine

Trying to explain to a friend still in the program why I joke about hating medievalism without being like "after you finish your diss you hate everything about it and all your choices haunt you forever, tainting this project you once loved" and thereby scaring him off

I love this story by Keith Uhlig, and particularly the ending:

"I think for a lot of us LGBT people, the message resonates," Mountain said. "Maybe people tell you you can't do something, but you can go ahead and do it anyway.""
After officials pulled him from the Iditarod, this Wisconsin musher finished anyway
Because he lagged far behind race leaders, officials pulled Quince Mountain from the Iditarod. He finished, unsupported and unofficially, on his own.
