Capitalist greed, elite-driven corruption, naked patriarchy, stupidity and general immunity at the top, fundamentally abusive. But just a joke hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahaha kill me
Watch every Ferengi-centric episode in a row. Such an uncomfortably, bathetically accurate reflection of our social and political reality.
What a strange thing to be rewatching Star Trek: DS9, seeing the latest drop of Epstein emails, and coming to the inescapable conclusion that we live on Ferenginar.
Amazing news from our wonderful director, @dhersh.bsky.social who will be working to build a Graduate Writing Program!
Just saw Oh, Mary! starring Jinkx Monsoon!!! Honestly, it’s so refreshing to see historically informed theater for once
The Teaching Learning Center's 2026 Mid-Winter Institute is happening this week @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social and there's still time to join! Book an individual consultation, attend today's accessibility workshop, or attend the syllabus lunch and workshop:
Thank you! It’s exciting to have the funds that make such a big undertaking possible, but I’m still processing how much work I just gave myself 😬
Excited to take a very big step toward my goal of creating a Graduate Writing Program.
Tickled to see Close Reading for the Twenty-First Century mentioned twice here. I’ll be hosting the NYC launch on February 20. Save the date and stay tuned for details!
I’m rewatching DS9 for the nth time, and the episode where Quark tries to steal a holo-scan of Kira to make an illicit sex holo-program for an SDE moneybags-type…hits a tad harder in the age of AI.
Great news! Our TV died just in time for Black Friday!!!
Happy to!
It began with Harvard’s development of their Expository Writing Program in the early 80’s. People involved in that effort started to get hired by other (private) institutions to build similar programs. It’s a really interesting institutional history, largely unwritten. Happy to chat sometime!
#WritingTip: In the thick of research, it's easy to get overwhelmed @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social but one strategy that can help you refocus is to get back to your research questions. What are you trying to figure out and how is your research getting you closer to an answer?
Please join us also for @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social Shorts: An Evening of Films and Discussion! A program showcasing the talent of GC film artists, whose creative work reflects their groundbreaking research and distinctive viewpoints.

This is a statement I received from a Epstein survivor who is a Jane Doe.
Share it widely.

Good luck to everyone @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social running in the NYC Marathon this weekend! #GCRuns #NYCRuns
my fae nephews made a video together (one is the actor, the other did the filming and editing) and AFTER THE FACT I was informed they only made it under the EXPRESS UNDERSTANDING I would post it in its entirety
I was not informed ahead of time, but who am I to stifle ART
You forgot white fish on pumpernickel with cucumber and onions.
It’s gonna change your life!
There are important conversations happening about the role of AI in (and beyond) higher ed, a topic sure to come up in job interviews. Hear from the experts next week at "AI and the Future of Work" @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social - register now for this hybrid event: www.gc.cuny.edu/events/ai-an...
In Hawaii, E is the only correct answer.
I want to take that class!
Missed our workshop on the op-ed @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social ? The Op-Ed Project is a wonderful resources that can help you learn about the genre, identify a target publication, and craft a provocative lede. Check out their website: buff.ly/qzzJNLM #PublicWriting #WritingCommunity
Hey now! No need to disparage Jersey City. You’re better than that, Zohran!
I think a fair bit about the AI boom and it’s globe-cracking costs. If you do, too, then this piece of investigative journalism is worth a read: www.businessinsider.com/ai-data-cent...
Reverse outlining is an adaptable strategy that makes the structure of a text more visible. Whereas writers create outlines in the pre-drafting stage to move from ideas to a draft, they create reverse outlines at varying points in the revision stage to help them take a step back from a completed draft and make key decisions about structure and content. There are different ways to approach reverse outlining, but the basic exercise involves reading through a completed draft, summarizing each paragraph in one or two sentences, and putting those sentences in a bulleted outline to create a skeletal version of the text. This helps writers assess how readers might experience their current structure, as well as whether each paragraph is making the claim that they think it is and includes sufficient evidence. Sometimes, writers use reverse outlining on a smaller scale to understand the structure of a particular section of their writing (e.g. a chapter in a book or a section in an article), or even to think through how they are structuring sentences within a single paragraph. If a writer has concerns about a specific dimension of their project, they can create a reverse outline with that in mind. For instance, if a writer wants to understand what role their sources are playing in the current draft, they might create sub-bullets for each paragraph that capture all their evidence and color-code it so that they can see when and how they are using each source. Alternatively, if a writer wants to assess whether they are effectively connecting their sub-claims to their central claim, they might use sub-bullets to capture all the sentences where they forge those kinds of connections so that they can spot places where they might need to do more of that work. Reverse outlining can also be used as a reading strategy; creating a reverse outline of someone else’s text can help the reader more readily understand the parts of the argument and how they work together to support the claim.
Missed our reverse outlining workshop @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social ? That's ok! Read our definition in the #RevisionStrategies Glossary and then put it into practice with exercises like "Is Your First Draft Disorganized? Reverse Outlining as a Method to Discover Structure." buff.ly/YwUE7pT
the law clinic repping this student, CLEAR, is based out of CUNY.....once again the public city university absolutely flounces the ivy league when it comes to having a backbone and standing on actual principles
Totally! Tax the Rich has an implied message of accountability. It acknowledges that fraud and financial shenanigans are mostly conducted by rich people, not poor and working class people.
