I’m a SERIOUS scribbler of notes in the margins of papers I read, which means, alas, I kill trees 😬

Seems legit 🤔
Me too! Mum says I was only days away from being a month over. My brother was a month early 🤷🏻♀️
Babies do what babies do 😂
I feel like they could have led with the expertise is geology and ADDED your other stellar attributes. The headline rather implies science-lite 🙄
Thank you, you’re very kind. They’d not been doing well and were older but it was still a complete shock. No one expected it that soon.
Me yesterday when I found out a mentor passed away 40 minutes before I taught my class that day. This week has been suboptimal so far.
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Same.
“You’d be prettier if you smiled” “Smile” “Why don’t you smile” “I’m not paying attention until you smile”

Pretty cool
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Stay free
It’s disconcerting to say the least. However, as I look/walk around campus, chat with peers, and teach, I see lots of folks who would be targeted by ICE simply for existing in these spaces.
Congratulations!!
So, my U sent guidelines today for dealing with ICE if confronted on Campus. I’m in NW Ohio. Thoroughly Midwest. Corn and beans country.
It can happen anywhere.
I got nothing. Just read the U’s framework for dealing with ICE on campus delivered via email today. We are living in strange times.
Hmm, perhaps? I never found it so but one (me) is an admittedly small sample size 🤷🏻♀️
Yeah, I teach a pretty diverse group of students. I’ve had ones from various countries, societies, religions, genders, ages, etc. Youngest was an 8th grader (yes, 8th grade!), oldest was in their 60s. I think it so important for growth. If you never chat with folks unlike you, how can you learn?

Every time I read the “Who are You?” surveys from my students, I’m encouraged at the sheer amount of enthusiasm and life experience they have. When I read anything about “college students” in the media, I remind myself they are diverse even when portrayed homogeneous. Just like every social group
Going no news this weekend for my mental health, except for weather. It’s just too much at the moment
Set that good example 😊
Ugh. Sorry this happened (already?!) to you. Told my students, “For the love of crunchy peanut butter, stay home when you’re sick! Seriously, don’t come in the classroom hacking, wheezing, and sneezing. It’s fine. We’ll catch you up.”
Still have those “dedicated” folks dragging themselves to class 😭
My inbox is now below 1600 emails. Please clap 😅
