In the ongoing wear, exhaustion, detrition--in this era, on this platform, during the university midterm season--I'd like to say that my students continue to be thoughtful, attentive creatures with beautiful smiles.

Doing some cleanup. Refound this little travel sewing kit which I’ve had for most of my life. One of the very few genuinely East German items I have in my Canadian possession. Such a high quality kit!

My colleagues and I are offering a newly approved minor—in writing and communication. So exciting to see advertising for it in the campus wild.

I don’t know, Damian. These terms continue to be quite meaningful even though you personally dislike them being used. And the story you say doesn’t interest anyone? It’s in all the news.

Made me laugh. It is now sold as “breaking” news by some busybodies that Jeff Walz once typed this about Tim Walz:

"Haven't spoke to him in 8 years. I'm 100% opposed to all his ideology. My family wasn't given any notice that he was selected and denied security the days after."

The rooster is back at his desk. He’s opening incoming tickets, forwarding tasks, completing some of them himself, typing notes into files. As he clicks and wiggles his mouse, he quietly talks to himself.

The kid and I watched *Rebecca* last night and weren’t impressed. We thought we’d forget it pretty soon and also didn’t exactly mind sitting through it for two hours. Now I’m reading reviews, curious about what went wrong in the making of it. Here’s a spiky passage. ⬇️

I love this!

K, in long convo with R: *posts mini pronoun analysis for rooster*

C, coming new to the thread: *links rooster claiming superior intellect, comments with nuance on Dunning Kruger*

R: You pleb! Nay, moron-pleb! I am so smart! Smarter than all the plebs here!

This guy’s promotion of racism is as transparent as ever (you may put “scientific” in front of it; or not). No news here.

Jamie Reed "claimed the transgender clinic is shutting down. Attorney General Andrew Bailey shared the claim verbatim. University officials say it isn't true."

Reed is running a clear anti-trans campaign. Shoddiness has been in evidence from the start....

Was just misreading a tweet about how the Harris campaign is pummeling Trumpists: “There’s a shift in the hair and those aware can see it.”

And you know. It makes sense.

Hobbes says the cat is dead. But that is not true! Yes, the cat has been intensely wrapped, carefully duct-taped, critically encased in its box. But the aliveness of the cat remains a hypothesis! Neither proven nor disproven. Possibly alive maybe dead. Still actively researched!

I hear Amy Hamm has published another wild opinion column. Before I have a look at it, let me entertain you with this past gem of hers. https://twitter.com/Katja_Thieme/status/1765896405154168924

Anti-trans positions like to portray those with trans experience with whom they choose to sympathize as children who are easily mistaken, who are in need of firm hands.

The journalistic criticism of Cole here is of her actions as an independently speaking 19yo; not a child.

I’m sorry to be asking the unimportant questions #BUT:

What does that graffiti tag say and what is its relevance in this context?

And why are they sitting in front of a showroom that sells nothing but boxy black leather couches?
