@Nsousanis Are you offering any online courses next term? I’m feeling the need to expand my world of comics. I enjoyed the workshop you offered way back in Vancouver!

Got to do 2 versions of our pictureless comics activity w/students last week! In class, collaborative w/7 passes (each student draws next panel & letter content), & a take-home w/a list of constraints! Try your own using my set of rules or collaborate w/a few friends! 1/2

@Nsousanis “Pictureless” is brilliant, Nick! May I use your instructions and show your examples in my new series about Decolonizing “The UN-settling Lab”? This series is dedicated to “showing the invisibles”. I’d like to play with hiding the usual visuals and highlighting the actions/harms.

@AnnGagne Thx @AnnGagne. This new #WorldofStories series is exactly what we were discussing in your awesome #UDLHE workshop. What is our collective story of human-ing during this pandemic? Teachers have an important story to record before we forget.

@LillianNave That's so cute. Some of my learners tell me they are taking my narration of their textbook to their gym workouts. Lol

I recorded audio versions of our readings for my students because #UDLHE. Last week, student popped on zoom early to tell me my voice makes him fall asleep. Over the weekend, he sent me a video of his dog falling asleep to my recorded voice. I’d add a screenshot but, well, #FERPA

I'm discussing “DLounge #012 : Diversity and religious identity? ⛪️🧘🏽” with @BacelyYorobi, @lisaychuang, @sarahrapp_, @blackfrancoCH, @scochran106, @drjamm, and Diversity Club. Today, Jan 31 at 3:00 PM EST on @joinclubhouse. Join us! joinclubhouse.com/event/4MEKE5lP

@krebs_claudia Dr Jill Biden’s PH.D thesis and research is worthy of any amount critical review. At least they are moving past the “drop the Dr” narrative and are admitting she WROTE a thesis and EARNED her doctorate. Some folks find themselves reluctantly on the slow road to wisdom.

The horrible articles about the perceived shortcomings of Dr Jill Biden's thesis are the running internal commentary everyone who has ever submitted a dissertation has about their work. And this continues in nightmares years after the thesis defence.

@krebs_claudia Right?! Even 30 years after this is true.

@DrSandraParker I love this quote - It reveals: *You matter* Thanks, Dr. Sandra!
