I have something to say: I am here to tell you that punctuation goes INSIDE the quotes.

Queue is such a great word. The actual important letter, and then four more silently waiting behind it in a line.

I'm terrified by what we're seeing this summer, and by knowing how fast it's getting worse, and by how there's not really a ceiling on how bad it can get, and by how almost everyone still pretends business as usual can go on. Those who are not terrified don't have a clue.

Sometimes the difference between a challenge that can crush you and a challenge that will energize you is the people walking through it with you.

If you don’t want someone sending emails at 8pm, do you also not want them doing therapy at 4pm or feeding their kids at 12pm? Or is everyone supposed to just fit everything neatly into a 9-5 workday?

The not so well kept secret in universities is that the whole apparatus floats on free labor from professors working relentlessly in their unpaid time, often for love of students and craft. The love is weaponized against us to hard-wire that free labor into the system.

An editing idea. As students are about to submit their writing--challenge them to find 10 words to cut. Almost any writing can be tighter. Not a bad test for all of us.

Overheard: School meals should be free for everybody. Charging children to eat somewhere they are legally required to be for the entire day is exploitative.

“I am not assessing your work to grade you. I am assessing your work to help you. I am simply joining you in your learning, so together we can build better.”

Now I believe it is framing and supporting the work.

Good Marketing Copy:

The true appeal of Wordle is that it’s not too difficult. Most players win more than they lose. It’s a small daily win that is predictable and rarely overwhelming. What we all need more of these days are things that *aren’t too difficult*

Cheating and plagiarism are pedagogical problems, not technological ones. They're not inevitable.

Judge the competence and intent of the feedback giver and never their tone or words.

How about boxes of N95s, delivered monthly to the doorstep of every household in the USA?

In 2006 I was meeting with Jeff Bezos to discuss acquiring Audible when he described their founder Don Katz as “a missionary, not a mercenary.” I later learned Jeff got this framing from John Doerr, and it struck me as a good distinction when evaluating people. Here's a 🧵:
