Excited to have a new book available for preorder! Nate Kreuter and I have gathered a collection of chapters focused on how college writing programs are using and rethinking campus spaces amidst ongoing austerity and technological flux in higher ed. Coming from @upcolorado.bsky.social this fall!

What an unceremonious end to CCCC, a key part of my professional career for almost 20 years. Goodbye, @ncte.org. I expect I speak for hundreds and maybe thousands of college writing instructors in saying we’ll find or make our way via other organizations.

Just got the cover design for an edited collection I have coming out this fall w/ @upcolorado.bsky.social! If you’re interested in how space and place shape university campuses and communities (esp w/r/t rhetoric & writing programs), hope you’ll check in out! And not *just* bc of the cool cover.

Of the many things I’ve cooked this summer, few touch the perfect simplicity of the Veggie BLT.

Weird, I just talked to him in Whiteward but he lashed out for reasons I don’t fully understand?

There is only one man I trust to investigate and unravel the web of corruption that has led to the injustice facing Belgium in their coming World Cup match.

When you’re 14 years old and on drugs for fireworks and your only friend is your treat ball.

Out on the run this evening and came across a piece of debris that sparked a bit of hope in my cynical heart on this holiday, a reminder of what the US might learn to leave behind on a day like today.

Ooh I think there’s a decent case for SimCity 2000, both as a US libertarian fever dream of urban planning and given the city-building genre’s substantial historical ties to stateside development.

The San Pellegrino case is a great snag. Was cracking open this can right when the dog food conversation happened in the ep. 🫡 from all the Costco-shopping Remap listeners with dogs that have very specific, non-Costco dietary needs.

name a tv show you’re positive no one remembers but you

Maybe they want to be shown the life of the mind?

Yes! Writing is thinking and writing is learning, not just a secondhand reflection of what someone’s already thought and learned. Something I’m increasingly trying to emphasize in the chatbot policy for my classes.

Man @yachtclubgames.bsky.social’s Mina the Hollower is a blast. And infuriating. And a blast. And confusing in a wandery, enticing way. And a blast!

15 minutes in to Mina the Hollower. Having a blast, and only when I went back to my home screen did I realize how much I need these two red-cloaked, arsenalized, anthropomorphic shop-wreckers to team up in a crossover event for the ages.

Summer nonsense in full effect.

I was thrown back to 2004 with such visceral force.

Pick a Bond from photos you already have on your phone.

As a Tennessee-based listener, gotta say you all are right about Gatlinburg.

On a side note, this is how I start the prompt for that unit’s big assignment.

tfw it’s an excellent Monday morning in the podcasting app thanks to @remapradio.bsky.social, @rangedtouch.bsky.social, @plante.bsky.social, & @getplayedpod.bsky.social.

Final slide for an upcoming presentation on promoting student reflection while we’re all getting swarmed by chatbots.

Probably the last email I’ll send to my wonderful students from this semester.

So far the thing I’ve found most galling about the Canvas outage is that it’s made me direct students to the meddlesome and awful “Share via OneDrive” attachment option Microsoft jammed into Outlook, in part because of the miserable limitations of Microsoft’s own webforms tool.
