well today was one of the worst classes i've had this semester -- a good chunk of that was my fault -- but something i've been observing (& hearing direct from students) is this desire to be lectured. & as a grad student in the humanities, i just can't square that desire 😩

i'm so glad to hear it's working for you! i know many people will forget today quite quickly (we've had AWS outages before) but maybe, just maybe…

dr worldwide™️ @imanimosley.bsky.social · 1d

do your students ask you about their grades a lot? because i'll quit Canvas TODAY, i do as little as possible in any LMS but my god do my students want to calculate their grades at every possible moment

dr worldwide™️ @imanimosley.bsky.social · 1d

ah! yeah i wondered why you were responding! no worries. but yeah, AWS is making everything a pain for everyone lol

dr worldwide™️ @imanimosley.bsky.social · 1d

oh i know. and i have no doubt & i'm not envious of anyone trying to get this fixed. this is more about how much i hate LMSs & how i'm forced to use them 😆

welp it's definitely not good when you get an email from the people running your LMS at 5:20pm saying "so Canvas is still down…why don't you think about extending due dates for assignments…"

chat, i fear Canvas is cooked

there are many (MANY) things to be furious about. i'm fine if this is low on your list, or not on it at all. but i want to remind you that the White House is the People's House. it belongs to us. & demolishing the East Wing to make a vanity ballroom is not for the people. it's Versailles.

Florida fires coach Billy Napier after four-year run that ends with a 22-23 record

Florida fired coach Billy Napier a day after an error-filled win against Mississippi State. Athletic director Scott Stricklin made the move following a 23-21 victory that looked like it was going to be gut-wrenching loss until defensive tackle Michai Boireau picked off a pass with 21 seconds remaini

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.
