@StetsonStephen @kateshuster Condolences, Stephen, she was a force.

I’m sad to report the passing yesterday of my wife @kateshuster after a brave struggle with pancreatic cancer. Kate was a hero of mine, as well as a partner and my favorite person on Earth. Her loss and legacy are both immeasurable.

For @Shepherd_books, I curated a reading list on building a better digital future. I chose books that offer bracing analyses of our digital present & that center care & imagination. Picks include books by @alexispauline, @jathansadowski, & @nkjemisin. shepherd.com/best-books/bui…

If you’re at #RSA24 and interested in checking out the new books in @UnivofALPress Rhetoric + Digitality series, come to our reception at 5 pm today!

Come join us for a short reception tomorrow featuring new books in the @Rhet_Digi series!

@acaguy I’m sorry to hear this, Guy. Condolences to the whole department.

I will miss him and try to be the person to others that he was to me.

I don’t even know what to say. Yesterday, I found out that Chad McBride passed away from complications related to ALS. I am the person I am today because of Chad’s leadership, mentorship, and love. He treated me like a brother.

New article out! We suggest that carnivorism (particularly raw organ meat, raw eggs, raw milk) is of growing importance to mainstream and far-right digital spaces. And white nationalists are crafting an eco-philosophy centered around carnivorism @cecilia_cerja @MullerMarek

@matthew_paul That would sell some books.

maybe I should go with “terror that extends to everywhere” instead of the participatory condition lol

@Caddie_Alford New Twitter bio just dropped 😂

A bright and shining example of the suicidal absurdity of technocapitalist society occurs every year at this time, all across the country. 1/n

Happy to announce one of my favorite hours at NCA--the annual meet up of folks interested in the convergence of technology, networks, digitality, and rhetoric! Going strong in our second decade. Please circulate beyond this dying platform.

Happy Friday! My latest @Rhet_Digi book is now available for preorder from @UnivofALPress! Threshold explores the rise of smart homes as part of a broader move to make technology more immersive & all-encompassing. I call this "living in digitality." uapress.ua.edu/9780817361433/…

Disparticipation is participatory, disidentifying dissent. Disparticipants dissent from binary oppositions of popular/pure and reformist/radical and disidentify to promote coalition-building. #TeamRhetoric 50 free copies here, or email/DM for PDF: tandfonline.com/eprint/9KZ2VBP…

🚨 Hot off the presses! 🚨 "Beyond Participation, Toward Disparticipation" in the Quarterly Journal of Speech. Remember this iconic image of Angela Peoples from the 2017 Women's March? I theorize her engagement—along with two other Women's March examples—as disparticipation. 1/2

@hanhopk @heatherswoods is!

@BrianaNBarner Oh the sweet dulcet tones of Delilah!

Did anybody else listen to the nighttime radio show hosted by Delilah? That’s where I really got my White music fix in the ‘00s. I’ll Be by Edwin McCain This One’s For the Girls by Martina McBride Drops of Jupiter by Train I Knew I Loved You by Savage Garden 🤣

@divineaboagyen2 Thank you for these too kind words! That pandemic rhetorical theory class was one of a kind (well, hopefully in some ways!) It’s a mutual admiration club, my spicy friend!

grateful. I took rhetorical theory with him in the pandemic and could vividly remember his insights and meditations on the texts we read. Thank you for nurturing my thoughts! @dspfister

I will dedicate this week to thank DSP. He is that Professor who shares everything with his students. From sharing produce in his garden, and indirectly teaching me how to be a professional in terms of teaching, reading, writing, and even dressing, I’m so …

If you wanted time to do your own research, you shouldn’t have gone into academics.

Thrilled to announce that TextGenEd: Teaching with Text Generation Technologies, is out today! Coedited by me, Tim Laquintano, & Carly Schnitzler. (CC-BY-NC) wac.colostate.edu/repository/col… Working with Tim, Carly, @WACClearingHous & 32 contributors has been wonderful! Thanks, everyone!

My article on @GretaThunberg and her use of "bio warfare" on Twitter to advocate wise anger is published in RHETORIC REVIEW! Does anyone know how to access the 50 free download links I'm supposed to get? I'm new to this. For now, here's the article: …ine-com.proxy-um.researchport.umd.edu/doi/full/10.10…
