@gmail Having issues pop up in FF, Opera, Safari. Gmail works for a time, then suddenly the content of the emails vanishes and you can see only titles. Cleared cache/cookies but no dice. I see no outages, but others are having similar probs

New on Visible Pedagogy! @lauriehurson discusses the benefits of open pedagogy using the @cunycommons, with examples from @ProfBrandle, Anna Carroll, @HilarieAshton, @ryanseslow, and Michael Branson Smith: vp.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2021/12/01/ope…

@samplereality My bro and I got .410 gauge shotguns for Christmas when I was 6. My brother was 4 1/2 and had to have the stock cut down to be able to hold it. Not a family trad I’m carrying forward. I’m glad to have made a different life but sickened at how this death cult has metastasized.

@dustin82 2 recent attempts: a) "play" a novel as a role-playing-game using the Ivanhoe theme for WPress created by @scholarslab jallred.net/wordpress/yokn…; b) have Ss create an encyclopedia with entries that are critical but more accessible that litcritty: jallred.net/wordpress/yokn….

@JonathanHsy I'd urge them to (re)read Roland Barthes' "From Work to Text": I think everything I do in the classroom that's worth a damn comes from his rigorous/joyful riff on "play" at the end.

@HesterBlum Combovers

@amy_herzog I punched the Bursar, sir.

@TVSandra @BlkLibraryGirl My "Intro to Lit" students at Hunter College are reading THE BLUEST EYE with me right now. Not necessarily my favorite Morrison novel, but an amazing on-ramp to her work and a book I deeply love to teach to undergrads.

If you love writer, Toni Morrison, and her books, please post your favorite book. I posted my mini-collection. @BlkLibraryGirl I hope this makes you feel better. #ToniMorrison #ReadToniMorrison

This is how you do a gender reveal party

@LAHeffernan Miggity Mack. (Sp?)

Six days. That’s how long my dry January lasted. Thanks for nothing, insurgents.

@RoguePOTUSStaff Taxpayers get ready to pony up for gallons of febeeze to remove all the urine odor from carpets and furniture.

Not announced yet, but there will be a press briefing at White House at 3:00 pm today to talk about the President's plans. He will basically be saying that he has no intentions of leaving in Jan. He's been using the phrase "write my name on everything in the room."

84% increase in covid cases in NH @GovChrisSununu

@TrobadoraB @burdellen_ No: it’s troubadeuse and chantour now.

Petition to remove the word "songstress" from the critical and journalistic lexicon. Willing to co-opt other unnecessarily gendered linguistic irritants. Hit me:

I'm more of a "don't mourn: organize" guy but am feelin this O'Neill quote: ”Be always drunken. Nothing else matters: that is the only question. If you would not feel the horrible burden of Time weighing on your shoulders and crushing you to the earth, be drunken continually."

@actualham Not impressed. We came all the way from NYC to cast a pair!

@timothydrobbins At least their defense was maintaining 6’ from all guests...
