Read & discussed this poem with our freshman comp coreq class this morning.

The first time I did it was REALLY hard and my adult kids were kinda mad, and there are some people who only connect that way. And I miss them 🩵 But sometimes it’s the way to peace.

this reminds me of the “Americans will use anything but the metric system” memes

yes, and…
lifestyle, apparently 😩

Started sleeping with my phone next to me again (in my defense, also started new meds and am hyperaware of potential serious side effects in the first weeks). Which means playing with the phone before getting out of bed — or when waking before my alarm.

I see! By the time I had my first kid (2000) they had started switching them out for the super durable plastics. Those are still standing and in great shape, but I am curious about the future of play structures and durable outdoor materials.

Art Forum Magazine once featured an exhibit of playground photos that included context: for decades, play structures were built on the concepts of prison design. But I feel like I might have read one of the articles you’re talking about recently. The topic is eerily familiar.

My university system is implementing some kind of virtual tutoring system starting in the fall *including for writing* with “global tutors” that won’t be trained in what our comp classes teach and I’m afraid it will set some of our students back even further with regard to literacy.

Cannot wait for today’s discussion on this! Have you read this poetry collection? What did you think?

I like “unlimited learning potential” more!

This is how I approach teaching composition, too! (And why I feel glad I’m a list-maker — helps loosen up the ideas)

will forever be considering the concept of “brain orthodontics”

at least they know a good poem when they see one!

Those pushing AI written work fundamentally misunderstand the value and point of writing.

Writing can’t “optimize” for word patterns or “token frequency”—writing is about experimentation, externalizing inward experience, and making connections, writer-to-reader.

I get ridiculously excited when the Bandcamp emails come 😅 He does everything himself — a benefit of growing up with both of my spouses being music and/or music tech people!
