Every online translator should have a button that says "I am talking to a friend/I am being polite" and one that says "I am talking to a man/woman"

(There should also be one that says "I am in Québec" for the French one but now im being picky)

I think it's funny that "you'll end up living alone with your cats" is supposed to be a threat to women like it's not LIVING THE DREAM

Your feel-good #phled story of the day, courtesy of @newskag.bsky.social, featuring my amazing students and my equally amazing colleagues!

I thank my stars every day that when I go to work I leave with so many reasons to be hopeful.

These #PHLed students never had a school library. They built one on their own, and now, the community has their back. Loved reporting this story: www.inquirer.com/education/ke...

These Philly students built their own school library. The community has their back.

The students behind DreamEscape Library at Kensington Health Sciences Academy created a social media account, built buzz and earned grants to support their work.

I am begging the proprietors of Bluesky to log off and touch grass. Do a staff retreat in some remote cabin with no internet access.

The all-knowing bsky mods gave Erin Biba a 24 hour suspension for a months-old skeet about Christian Zionism, and I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that this happened when she’s been vocally criticizing Jay

If you are a supporter and reader of @contingent-mag.bsky.social one of the biggest things you can do to help us at the moment is get this CFP to the NTT folks in your life. The fracturing of social media has made it very difficult to get the word out esp. to adjuncts and VAPs.

CFP: A Time of Monsters

The monster has been here all along. It is a historical constant that manifests in wildly different ways across time, place, and culture. Whatever form it takes, the monster claws at categories; it un...

It's a small thing, but my mom finally got approved for senior housing and moved in this weekend. It's "affordable" for California (which means it's only more than I've ever paid for a 1br in my life) and now she can live out her days as a wacky old lady with her cat ♥️👵🐈
