My students when they don’t turn in a draft: “I have concepts of a plan.”

For some reason I can’t place, I feel like I want to rewatch Black Mirror’s “Hang the DJ” now.

@AskLyft My Lyft driver drove off with my pet cat still in the car. I was taking my cat to a vet appointment, I was sitting behind the driver and had the cat carrier on the floor of the passenger side back seat.

You can check out the other HMAF films at the following playlist. youtube.com/playlist?list=…

Some friends and I did the 72 Hour Film Challenge as part of HMAF 23. It was stressfully fun. We made "A Cave Allegory" which is about an anthropologist professor struggling to care for her sick mom. youtu.be/uvLd5-mvhoI?si…

@stevesaylor Unless I’m mistaken, Phantasy Star 4 on Sega Genesis had a cool menu item where you could talk to your party and it’d catch you up on the story so far. It was very helpful.

You know what would be a cool feature that is good for accessibility but also good for everyone? Recaps of where you are in a game’s story when booting up your old save. I’m not the only one that has restarted games because they can’t remember where they left off right?

@JanaTigchelaar I believe this may be connected to the amount of times I see students use “whilst” in their essays.

What is the deal with students punctuating quotations in the British style (comma outside the quotation marks instead of inside, like "quote goes here", instead of "quote goes here,")??? It is so widespread that it must be being taught as correct at some level prior to college?

@klillvis @KeeganLannon @JanaTigchelaar I also just ran across this soon to be published book: routledge.com/Metaphors-of-M…

@klillvis @KeeganLannon @JanaTigchelaar No one that I can think of. Have you asked the comicsstudies.org listserv? And Google just returned this site when I searched graphicmedicine.org. Wish I could help but thank you @klillvis for thinking of me.

A former student of mine (who has recovered from substance use disorder) started this fundraiser after he lost his brother to the same disorder last week. Consider donating to support Recovery Point West Virginia gofund.me/8570353b

THREAD: what happened to Chapelle and Musk? I have a friend named @TamerKattan who told me a story I’ll never forget. First, he’s one of my favorite comedians - go see him if you get a chance. I’ve learned a lot from him. This is just one such lesson. 1/

@decafjedi This is why I own three digital copies of Amnesia and Myst. I am not a savvy consumer.

@decafjedi I saw this going around a month or so ago but I forget the original poster.

That second vowel really throws folks.

@JanaTigchelaar Hear me out, Jana. What if they eat stink bugs? npr.org/2022/03/05/108…

NOT NOW CHILD'S HAND-SIZED SPIDERS

I'm glad to see this story getting widespread attention. However, this article is repeating a new detail that is, I think, deliberately misleading: that the two teachers who made their classes attend the revival did so because they mistakenly thought it was mandatory. Not so. 1/

i missed this last night but what Hannity calls one of the most "disturbing" Biden gaffes is total fake news. When Biden referred to Satchel Paige as a "great negro" he was clearly referring to the fact that Paige pitched in the negro leagues. Watch the clip for yourself.
