@AcStaples @MattZeitlin Yup. Gave a seminar decades post-PhD at my alma mater. Over lunch, my host puzzlingly asked: what student surprised you most? you're proudest of what? oddest request from admin? Wove my answers into a great intro.

@MattZeitlin I've been asked to do this short introductory speech before; when possible, I like to share it in advance with the speaker, and then ask about their current work. And then I ask about sports teams, or pets, particularly if they are American.

Millennials are the elite generation because they cranked out 12-page essays the night before they were due. No ChatGPT. No Claude. Just lo-fi beats playing in the background, Black coffee at midnight, footnotes that were somehow correct, and pure delusion. Grade was an A minus. Period.

I don’t think enough emphasis is being placed on the fact that the students at ODU literally BEAT the Muslim shooter to DEATH with their bare hands and whatever else they had available to them.
If that doesn’t show you how fatigued we are..,

ignoring kids as non-human lumps with no agency, even though they clearly know where the pajamas are ... 'parenting partnership' such a shallow concept
emily may@emilykmay
a massive parenting platform run by two moms wrote a piece on being the default parent while being married to a "an amazing husband who is an equal partner in every way" and she talked about how her "tipping point" was that he didn't know where they kept the pajamas

As with Jared Kushner's "best-selling" book in 2022, let's bear in mind how easy it is to buy books or movie tickets on-line, in bulk. Movie e-tickets don't even need to be pulped.

Sometimes a student in one of my fiction writing classes will come see me during office hours and inform me they’re going to be a novelist.
I always ask the same question: “Who are your favorite authors?”
