I have been using Blackboard Ultra for a total of 18 hours and I've already broken it. This bodes well.

Faculty and academic staff already only tenuously protect educational value and degree integrity, and this “leadership” will ripple far beyond Harvard. Jane has been a crucial, clearheaded voice in adapting to a world with AI, shaping pedagogy and guiding scholars in asking the right questions.

It was a student journalist in college radio at Sacramento State that broke the story that Reagan had paid no income taxes...

My brother showed up at the gym this AM and smelled powerful skunk. He goes inside and starts working out and says, "wow! that skunk must have sprayed the building or something!" A woman working out says... "Oh no, that's me." She got sprayed by a skunk and went to work out anyways.

POODLES ARE NOT LAP DOGS SOMEONE PLEASE TELL SIG

Possibly the best workspace for this AM — surrounded by the Orozco murals at Dartmouth

I can’t stop thinking about this class…but how do I get my hands on dictaphones and carrier current tech? But we can make super gross Jello salads!!

What if I just turned my class on the US 1945-1968 next spring into experiments with tech from the era: build a carrier-current radio station on campus, use typewriters, use recording and video tech...

My 10 year old’s review of Ralph Waldo Emerson’s house: “There was a writer who lived there who had a big nose, and his aunt was the first goth. There was a room where people met, a dining room, his office, and his death bed is in the bedroom upstairs.”

I think it’s wrong this isn’t a word, because I think it as I move through this status every day

The humpbacks were putting on a show today off of the Cape

There are good covers, and then there are GOOD COVERS …and @mickimcelya.bsky.social got the latter…this one has to be seen in person for the full neon effect!

My son did a great job cleaning out the cat box area. The bad news is he took the mat outside to spray it clean, and the water ricocheted across the patio and now the whole yard smells like a dirty cat box...

I was digging around trying to find the origin of MA's meal break law, and I found the 1958 act allowing me to have a union, today.

My physical therapist today said I have a “flip flopping IT band,” which feels exactly like it sounds.

This lamp is….

One thing I've started doing: I made friends with the general manager of WXPL, and I told students they can get extra credit if they schedule a time with him to go in and do an hour show. They can do whatever they want, just get on air. (our station has LOTS of open time, so it works)

PSA: Many of us have accessible a campus or community radio station. You can volunteer! If you are a faculty member, I highly recommend dropping by and seeing if you can have 30 min or an hour - even just once a month. Talk about what you did in class! Interview a colleague. Put students on air.

I am pretty obsessed with my exuberant hydrangeas
