Do I have to now explain that I wrote at a VariDesk in both the seated & standing position?
This seems like a bit much.

Nothing important going on right now, they have plenty of time to bend the knee. 🙄

As I saw someone else say, he just completed the task that the passengers on Flight 93 died trying to prevent.

Does he think he has veto power on mayoral elections?

This is unbelievably ableist. Even if you offer accommodations for disabilities, you're making it extra hard on any students with disabilities, forcing them to take extra steps. You're also outing their disabilities if they use a laptop. And for students undiagnosed? They're screwed.

Fellow academics, I'm doing it. Going all in. Pulling the plug, literally.

This is on my syllabus for Spring 2026: "This is an analog class. No Canvas; this syllabus is your guide."

All readings are printed books; hand-written exams; no laptops.

That can’t be right. I’ve got a friend who has an OLD family cabin at Tahoe (like built by hand by his grandpa). They can’t make ANY exterior changes without approval.
You mean there’s more protections on a 70-year old Tahoe A-frame than there is on the White House????

We’ve been talking about redoing our bathroom for years. We had to make repairs to the toilet & replace some subflooring in August. Still haven’t demoed b/c … do you KNOW how many tile options are out there?!?

At this point, it’s just a wall, not a wing.

Shanon Taylor @drspedinnv.bsky.social · 2d

Oh man, I’d include that in my annual evaluation materials to show how great I am with students. 😂

Shanon Taylor @drspedinnv.bsky.social · 2d

It’s this. Totally.

Exterior of the East Wing last December 😢

Photo of the covered entrance to the East Wing of the White House. The view looks directly at the entrance & a figure stands in front of the doors. Greenery and gold and silver ornaments decorate the fence and a large gold start is on top of the building

Luxurious? They’re probably waiting for DoorDash to deliver the McDonald’s order.

TBF, they don’t even look like THEY want to be there. “We have to eat lunch at the White House? I was planning on Panera.”

So is he claiming Pete was out there in his tool belt, rewiring ATC, or is he claiming the electricians that did the job were incompetent?

Every statement is a confession.

The guy who finished last in his med school class is still called doctor. Someone always has to be last. Guess we know who it was in this case. She seems intent on demonstrating it 😂

It really was a beautiful interview.
