They’re relegating education to the Department of freaking Labour?!?
BREAKING: White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt just announced the Trump administration will close the Department of Education.
Schools, teachers, and students nationwide are now facing uncertainty like never before.

Me teaching my Agatha Christie students about Charles Lindbergh’s anti-interventionism as indicative of his support of fascism and eugenics. ABSURDLY topical.

my Shakespeare's Medieval Kings class next semester has filled to the brim. And where's the NYT thinkpiece about that?!?! Gen Z: they just can't get enough of Shakespeare's medieval kings! Parents: is your Zoomer child secretly addicted to Tudor historical drama?!

We were explicitly warned to wear pants, not skirts, on this account. Also, we were warned not accept a cup of tea if we'd have to balance it on a bed.
If you are not in academia, you might not know this, but job interviews used to be held at conferences IN HOTEL ROOMS. Women candidates in a hotel room alone with often all-male committees. People sitting on beds! The horror stories I've heard.
I thing I sometimes thing about is that university departments were still doing job interviews in hotel rooms in the mid aughts

I've got 20 papers left to grade before the next stack comes in...so of course I'm procrastinating with a pedagogy post!
QUESTION: when grading student essays, do you use end comments or rubrics? Both? Neither?

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness.
I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.
At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.
