I got that from Sen. Feinstein back in the day. Lovely letters with embossed letterhead telling me “yes, thank you, you’re wrong.”

And completely devoid of imagination. Utopia for him is a system in which everyone studies and works to maintain the system, which he controls.

Such a basic megalomaniac— without even a little Bond villain flair.

How about my to-be-published book because I know everyone wants to read about loss, grief, and the structural inequalities that deprive us of the right to mourn.

I read Edward T. Hall’s work in college and still find the concept of high-context and low-context language relevant & useful. Very handy in my art history classes!

This reminds me of when I was a 17-yr-old freshman at the American U in DC. The astronomy professor used to be the college president before he was caught with the babysitter. I needed a science class but there was no way I was taking astronomy. But why was he still teaching classes???

I’m sorry that happened! When a student requests accommodations it’s an opportunity for me to rethink what’s an essential learning outcome for the assignment. Then I fix the instructions for everyone so anyone can opt for the accommodation if they want.
