Leo: "The message of the church, the message of the gospel -- blessed are the peacemakers. I do not look at my role as being political. I don't want to get into a debate with him. I don't think the message of the gospel is meant to be abused in the way that some people are doing."
During this incredible, unifying moment of inspiring international cooperation and spectacular technological achievement, I would really appreciate it if the US president would stop threatening to murder an entire country with bombs.

Sansa supervised my yardwork all day today so she is completely exhausted. Sweet dreams, darling girl.

For years I let the patriarchy and social norms make me think mowing the grass was a “man’s job.”
In reality, I was only denied excellent exercise and the deep satisfaction of achieving a perfectly manicured and edged yard for far too long.
Women: don’t let anyone deprive you of this pleasure.
It never ceases to amaze me how many college faculty are thrown into classrooms without a minute of formal teaching training.
At one time this was there wasn’t enough research/resources on college teaching, but that’s not the case today. Now it’s just willing ignorance and deprioritization.
On average, I agree. Effective undergrad teaching has less to do with scientific expertise than effort and interest.
Most esteemed scientists are mentors to grad students and post docs, a different kind of teaching.
“How is diversity a strength” well it’s better than racist dumbass homogeneity, you see
What the fuck are we doing
Silly. They put all that crap in to make us crave it. We don’t really like oatmeal!
Thank you!!!
Utterly marvelous movie that did not disappoint. Bravo Ryan Gosling!
The news is uniformly horrible but I’m going to an early screening of Project Hail Mary tonight and I have never been so excited to willingly suspend my disbelief for a couple hours.
This Oscar memorial tribute was ripping me to shreds and then Barbra Streisand started singing and I became a puddle. I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR ANY OF THAT.
For the record I unequivocally despise violence, war, and warmongering.
Celebrating violence of any kind is shameful and wrong.
And for some reason I feel like that has to be said straight out.
What a world we live in.
I’ve been off social media apps for almost a year. I’m dipping a toe back in to try again because I miss the community I used to know on Twitter.
My feed is dark (as one would expect right now) but I need to find some joy & lightness too.
Would love suggestions of your favorite follows please.
I really hope the rest of the world understands there are still good people who are being ignored and silenced and hate to see what our country is becoming right now. God help us.
“That they should be the ones to welcome Pope Francis’s coffin in the basilica is because these people are those who represented the focus of his mission,” said Father Giulio Albanese, head of missionary cooperation and communications for the Vicariate of Rome. “They are those who live on the peripheries, geographical and existential peripheries.”
The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach.

AACU Conference on Learning and Student Success (CLASS) Innovation session 3.A 5-5:15: Teaching innovation as untapped potential
I’m looking forward to our session this afternoon here at #AACUCLASS. Really enjoying the conversations so far!
Quote from Stephanie Akunvabey of Pace U cited at #AACUCLASS
The work of diversity, equity, & inclusion is like the baking soda in a cookie - you don’t taste it but it’s in every bite. If you take it out you ruin the cookie. But it’s being treated like the icing on a cupcake you can just wipe away.
Article by Dewsberry, et al (2022) mentioned in his keynote at #AACUCLASS 2025:
Deep Teaching involves "specific pedagogical approaches and strategies are enacted as a function of carefully cultivated relationships and continuous dialogue with the students."

This has been one moving and important keynote. Whew.
“Teaching students how to engage in difference and respectful dialogue is something every class can do,” says @fiu.bsky.social professor @dewsbury.bsky.social. #AACUCLASS
Northern Arizona University President José Luis Cruz Rivera’s message to #AACUCLASS attendees: higher education must “move from prestige to purpose, from silos to systems, from resistance to reimagination.”
"What does it mean to have diversity if we don't create opportunities for students to learn from it?"
#AACUCLASS
Bryan Dewsberry at AACU CLASS:
"It's a rare time when words are being weaponized and are being struck from our websites and curricula. I'm struck by the speed of the retreat from those words. These are words presidents stood up and swore they believed in. Did they ever really mean those words?"

Don’t look at me, I voted for the black lady who didn’t want to burn down our economy.
