Genuine question: how do people manage students’ requests for letters of recommendation?
I would be interested in hearing about the systems and strategies academics use to navigate the multiple requests from students without going crazy. Do you use forms? Spreadsheets? A really tidy email folder?

a new blog from me on the dramatic events with Bluesky, Mastodon, Meta and Pixelfed over the past ten days, and what they mean for the future of social media.
"The battle over the future of social media is now on. Organised resistance to the power of commercial social media platforms is starting, and it is clear Meta is worried about it."
