Love to see this transformative scholarly publishing project that replaced double-masked review with a peer mentorship model and helped first-time and emerging scholars get published, open access, in a prestigious journal. Another amazing feat from @courtniewolfgang.bsky.social and colleagues. 📚

Teach Truth Day of Action 2025 Events Educators and allies are planning creative Teach Truth Day of Action events all over the country. Here are some examples.

Countless teachers are bravely committed to defending the freedom to learn — & thereby defend democracy & justice — in their classrooms.

They can’t do it alone. They need our public support. Make some noise.

Host a #TeachTruth Day of Action event, June 7. Add your city to the map. Read how ⬇️

I wanna crochet this on a pillow for every white man in academia who assumes it’s just their *hard work* that has them riding that glass escalator right past every woman/ POC/ queer person they’ve ever worked with.

NEA Grantees with Terminated Grants or Withdrawn Funding: You have 7 calendar days to appeal, so for those receiving their letters late yesterday (May 2), you have until Friday, May 9 to appeal.

Just scrolling my bluesky feed singing this chorus over and over and over…

Reposting pictures of bunnies is about all I have in me these days. I hope everyone is taking care of themselves as best they can.

Happy May Day y’all.

Also nodding VIGOROUSLY.

Turns out I do not, in fact, know things.

I unfurled the tiny scroll and inside it said: “skeet = ejaculation” and I screamed and shredded it to pulp. I’m sorry, Courtney Greene, HS junior, that you had to explain to your teacher what skeet means in 2003. You live forever in my heart. And my wife’s favorite story about me. /6

She went to her table and tore the tiniest sliver of paper off a page and wrote something and then rolled it into the tightest scroll imaginable, came back up to me, pressed it into my hand and ran…RAN away. /5

Another student ran up to me, horrified, and said “Wolfgang, do you know what skeet means?!!” And I was astonished because, as I told her, I thought it was just some form of scatting (not that kind). I could tell by her face it…was not. TELL ME?! She said “I can’t, I have to write it down” /4

Two of my students came in from lunch singing TO THE WINDOOOOOOW TO THE WALL!!!! And because I do not like to join in singing about ball sweat I politely waited til the skeet skeet skeet part to remind them I knew some things. /3

*The year was 2003 and I was a very new high school art teacher in a rapidly suburbanizing town halfway between Athens and Atlanta, GA. Lil John & the East Side Boyz’ Get Low was a VERY popular song, particularly among my high school students /2

I haven’t looked deep into the provenance of using “skeet” as a Bluesky post shorthand, and as a person of a certain age I just…cannot*. Is it a flit? A flutter? A click? 🧵

This is the evergreen statement.

“Putting convenience first” CSUMB students on generative AI-Imagery - The Lutrinae “It’s just disappointing.” That’s how second-year communication design major Amanda Richman reacted to seeing images produced by artificial intelligence (AI)  used by official Cal State Monterey Bay (...

#Students seem to have an opinion about #AI #GenAI use on #campus websites. They are not happy, especially the art & design students.

Better listen to them.

I’m a transplant, but I love living in lil’ Rhody ! It’s weird as fuck here.

We are!

Imagine the biggest problem in your life being about which bathroom a total stranger uses.

Imagine pretending random people you'll never meet are somehow victimizing you with their existence.

Imagine being that hard up for troubles that you have to invent them just so you can play the victim.

Been there, godspeed… bone folders are our friends!

Did the New England Patriots team plane just fly to Guantanamo? 👀

Yes.

Lord, the number of times I’ve had to remind people that the devil don’t need no advocates…
