Performatively reading in the cafe, but wearing white gloves so I'm still venerating the Book As Object, with a t-shirt saying "I know archivists don't wear gloves" so people know the gloves are performative.

Remember that libraries are proof that not every goddamned thing needs to be “for profit.”

All this #edtech stuff is fine, but what I really want is to be able to mark my students classwork as submitted on Google classroom.

That feeling when you're planning out a new unit and you know the students you'll be teaching and it's gonna be so fun! (Also any suggestions for post-colonial texts ex-Things Fall Apart greatly appreciated 👍🏼)

Rewatching the Good Place. The real trolley problem episode is inspired. I love this show.

Just began reading Philip Roth's *The Plot Against America* (@nytimes 100 books of the 21c.) 2004 with very 2024 vibes. 😬.

I've been on BS for about two days and already got so many ideas for units, assessments and lessons. Thanks #edusky

Hello, new followers! Things are looking bright around here. For all the writers and academics out there, we’re starting the day with some timeless (and hilarious) advice from the brilliant Umberto Eco, from his classic guide "How to Write a Thesis."

Why do I always get sick after school trips?

Last day of grade 11 field trip to Berlin. What did we learn? Without phones, humans can have deep and interesting conversations at dinner; teach each other cards, create battleships from paper. 🦖 🦕 are awesome; two hour walking tours can get chilly. I am so proud of our kids.
