How to lay the game #bluesky style
mspraxis.bsky.social MsPraxis @mspraxis.bsky.social · 3d
This is my pinned post. Why? Because lots of people still don't quite know how to play the games! 😂
mspraxis.bsky.social MsPraxis @mspraxis.bsky.social · May 17
How to play the games: see the post, reply by quoting the post, copy/paste the text, add your response/picture/GIF then post. Then the next person does the same. That way, everyone gets context. It's like a game of pass it on.

So I've decided to get a bit more serious about the Tech and Disability posts I've been making. To that end I've setup a blog at tad.angrybeanie.com

It's a Ghost blog, so you can follow on

The joey has its forelegs poking out from the pouch and is looking well satisfied with its lot (yes that is an anthropomorphic projection of its emotional state and almost certainly ill-informed)

Not just the US
amandazillo.bsky.social Amanda Lanzillo @amandazillo.bsky.social · Sep 3
In @insidehighered.com I explore how area studies have positively reshaped the humanities & social sciences in the US since the 1950s. Their loss would impoverish knowledge production across our universities, and our universities must step up to defend them.

Why Area Studies Matters (opinion)
If we are to save area studies programs, it will fall to universities to recognize their value, Amanda Lanzillo writes.

Heartening evidence to support the value of education and ways of understanding, as well as skills
Studying philosophy does make people better thinkers, according to new research on more than 600,000 college grads
Philosophers are fond of saying that their field boosts critical thinking. Two of them decided to put that claim to the test.
