Is it too much to ask for someone to make a Christmas-themed cover of Soundgarden’s black hole sun but called “Black Coal Son”

I hated school growing up and I knew this would be a challenge, but that's not going to discourage me one second. You have to be able to buckle down and lock into new journys and challenges coming in your life. Observe, learn and adapt.

I’m my last face to face class before covid, I asked my incarcerated students why they took my course, almost every answer included that the classroom had air conditioning Prison Heat: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO) https://t.co/5ZfvJWM2Gy via @YouTube

[Nicholas DeArmas, PhD @AlbertCamusfloj]

The poems that move me the most (Oliver’s “no voyage,” Frost’s “design” etc ) are the ones that somehow make me feel less afraid of dying without pretending we don’t.

First time I’ve ever seen a paper saved as document33. I think this means the student has 33 unnamed but saved documents. It’s chilling how much chaos my students are comfortable with.

Wouldn't it be great if we found out the whole Q thing was just a big marketing campaign for @Quiznos?

A scented candle, but instead of a scent, it’s the feeling of a clean kitchen in the morning

It’s that time of year where I sneak to my laptop to grade 5 student drafts while I make my son’s dinner and hope he doesn’t notice why dinner’s taking so long . Then I get to feel guilty about it. Semester’s almost over. Semester’s almost over. Semester’s almost over

I can't let this monstrous idea go. COVID wriggling its way up county by county, subsiding, and then returning in six dimensions.

Color: infection rate
Size: infection count
Angular distortion: growth rate
Time, X, Y: themselves.

In my diss, I offer a pedagogical rec for teaching students to grapple with discourse ethics and rhetorical terms like intertextuality, topoi, and aboutness by studying discourse comms organized through hashtags. Check this semester's work out at #ENC4415Sp19DigitalDiscourse #ucf
