@foxyfolklorist I’m always interested in fairy/folklore texts focusing on belief or regional expression. Academic is a-okay, of course, and I’m also happy to do collections, too. Thank you for the potential opportunity!

Hello #FolkloreThursday I am sliding into the bird-site trash fire to let people know that I'm moving into a role as book review editor at Marvels & Tales & am looking for people who want to review fairy-tale books (sometimes scholarly, sometimes tale collections). Chat me up!

@atarbuck @commoninkcap @HeadOnFirePod I would gladly buy one too! Love the little bellarmine bottles! Will check out her store. In terms of suggestions, maybe teacups with leaf-reading symbols on the saucers? Or even coffee mugs with folkloric/magical motifs?

Witch twitter! My mum is a ceramicist who already makes amazing witch bottles (see pic). I'd love her to make more witch stuff (for etsy?), but what should it be? Witch votives, talismans, statuary, ritual tools? What's the market crying out for? @ctsluna @HeadOnFirePod @atarbuck

@LeapingPrincess I read A Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley for a class about adaptations once, connected to king Lear. I remember liking it a lot

Okay, hivemind: I'm putting together a class on literary adaptations/rescriptings (i.e., literary works that rework previous works--think Wide Sargasso Sea or Anouilh's Antigone). Anybody got any favorites they'd like to recommend?

@GingerPale It was great! We usually try to do a theme. Last year was Squid Game but GF was the best one so far (and very homemade as you can tell)

@ctsluna That’s crazy! Never thought about theming the house to match the costumes

What was your best costume you ever did for Halloween- Extra points for homemade/DIY

@HeadOnFirePod Absolutely! Share as many as you like!

1/ I got to teach Lucille Clifton’s “cream of wheat” yesterday and listen I’m an old white guy but I did my best leading a discussion of race, performance, ads, & exploitation, and a young Black woman in the class added a ton of depth to it and at the end…

3/ so yeah, good teaching day and please share some of your favorite BIPOC poets if you like (w/me, w/anyone & everyone you know) because IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE /story

2/ this other old white guy taking the class sat up and said “wait is THAT what the Aunt J*m*m* thing was about a few years ago?” and I could SEE it sinking in and later he said he had just thought it was ppl overreacting but he got it now and wanted to know more…

🤬🤬🤬 of course it’s in TN and ⁦@BillLeeTN⁩ is involved. Garbage. “Teachers go to the ‘dumbest colleges’ — who said it and why it matters “ washingtonpost.com/education/2022…

PhD students don’t want to be postdocs. Faculties are leaving academia... Intriguing discussions are published by both Nature and Science. Key points are: #science #research #engineering #academia #PhD #AcademicTwitter

Am I the answer to life, the universe, everything? Today, yes I am 😜

Last day at my university (possibly ever teaching college). Bittersweet but excited about potential futures & new directions. Still, would love to hear it works out…do YOU have a story of a career restart you can share to ease my mind, academic or otherwise?

@tiredxwitch @RiverEnodian My league level is determined the cumulative score across all languages I do in a week. I usually do 1200-2k points/wk over 5-6 languages and stay in Diamond. Strategic use of the xp double bonus helps boost scores sometimes

@RiverEnodian Right but the leagues are only for the language you’re on

Do people use cheats on Doulingo, or do these mf really have zero life and this is all they do all day that they can rack up 15k points in 4 days

I know there’s a lot to be upset about today and it’s wrong of me to ask probably, but if you have any spare good feelings you can send my way I’d appreciate them. Today is sh*t both at a big picture and small scale for me. Thank you💜💜💜

Traditional Artists! If you live in the South, the @southarts org is taking grant applications for traveling/touring artists over the next four weeks! Link to SouthArts site with grant info: southarts.org/community-orga…

@ValerianGirl Thank you for sharing this. Do they give any sense of why it’s so hush-hush? Do non-TT faculty at your uni know about the system at least?

@ctsluna I'm on a TT hiring committee right now. We use points and we aren't supposed to let anyone outside the committee see any of the paperwork. We have to agree to give our notes to HR after we finish

Okay, I’m not sure how many ppl pursuing higher ed are following me, and this may be public knowledge to some, but it was news to me so I thought I’d share for others like me. So theydies and gentlethems: THE POINT SYSTEM in academic hiring A thread 🧵

Folks who have made the move from academia to industry: what's 1 piece of advice you'd share with PhD students looking to make a similar leap?
