It’s like the guy that’s laundering $120m to fund military payroll - one might do that? Or one might pay your taxes, and quit being such a dick about it?

Eat shit, Pepe. Thanks to @ceaubin.bsky.social for the insight into a protest culture that might not work everywhere, but which is doing its job of breaking MAGA brains

Portland’s protest frogs are dead serious about absurdity

In a battle of optics and performance, Portland is primed to meet the moment.

What a start for you! Not my first purchase, but one I also bought off the rack in ‘75. Transformative in so many ways.

For a minute, I thought that was Silver Surfer, not Ice Man, prompting me to try to figure out when Adams had done an SS/X crossover. THAT would have KILLED.

I am thrilled to report that the Faculty Senate at Southern Oregon University voted this week to confirm my nomination for our institution's annual Distinguished Teaching Award, citing my commitments to innovation & entrepreneurship, and experiential learning.

I’ve been inching away from Twitter/X for instruction for a couple of years, now also doubling down on Bluesky when teaching Multimedia Writing and Strategic Social Media

You might also consider searching for topics on Bluesky - if you find other useful accounts, then you might see some good ideas for presenting yourself here

I recommend a little detail about things you care about, especially any that you might write about for a public audience

So the problem with The Doctor kissing a guy is we’ve got this 60-year legacy of will-they/won’t-they with all the female companions, so we can’t compromise that lifetime of demure asexuality by hooking him up with a roguish man oh right I hear me now, never mind.

Reskeet with how old you are, using a vague proxy:

My undergrad tuition rate was $4/credit, or $1200/semester (including tuition, fees, dorm & meal plan)

I was a paperboy and spent most of my earnings on Topps baseball cards and Garbage Pail Kids cards.

As a graduate of the photojournalism program at The University of Texas, I especially welcome this post about the history of photography education at UT -> wapo.st/3Vbln4p

Opinion | A little-known 20th-century photographer’s work is vital to this moment

Lee’s unwavering commitment to humanism and photography made him an icon to generations of students at the University of Texas.

I count myself in the “dumb teenager” category - my undergraduate degree gave me some important benefits, but not everything I could have, or should have achieved. It helped me get going on a journey, but I didn’t have the vision or maturity at the time to really get the most out of it.

There’s a lot of work needed to make higher education better, and especially more affordable. But we also do a lot of good work for a lot of students, and that should also be acknowledged.

My analysis applies across the board, from elite institutions, to flagship state schools, to smaller public schools like mine, to community colleges. At every level, some students outperform my claim. And every type of institution proves effective at helping many students get to the next step

Despite my snarky tone, this is under-valued work. It’s messy + expensive + inefficient. But still better than most of the other options available for students and parents.
