Too many not-fully-engaged students this semester. Some of this is my fault. I haven’t fully engaged them! So I’m reaching out to them again. One by one.

The "militia" in the 2d Amendment is the various state natl guard and state militias that some states maintain. The groups the media calls "militia" are armed gangs of citizens, not the "well regulated militia" discussed in the Amendment.

"Dumbster Fire.” A student paper on how US Constitution addressed slavery. Not a typo. Language evolves you oldsters. All metaphorical dumpster fires are now dumbster fires. See the dumbsters in your mind’s eye. Watch Them Burn!

I asked students to brainstorm on titles in class — and to use more than one when turning them in. It was fun and helped them to see their purpose.

Does the deadline itself have a pedagogical purpose? My assignments have deadlines mostly so we can use the work in class on a particular day.

@hampshirecolg @chronicle I love the @hampshirecolg model of #learning

[Arnold, Andrew @_andyaba]

Agreed. Treating students with dignity — built right in.

IDK. I don’t think so, but — that was a long, long while ago. I still remember my rap tho! (Bottle bill and check-clearing-law centric.)

Today I collected signatures for a local political candidate. Reminded me of MASSPIRG days — going door-to-door — and the urge to Get Just One More!

Am I the only one who texts people in the same meeting with: “Hey, don’t forget to silence your phone!”

Free writing advice: Stop not writing. Just do it—do it afraid; filled w/self doubt. Put a 1” picture frame nearby and just write what’s in it—1 passage, an idea, a memory, a possible opening. And do it really badly. Write an incredibly shitty 1st draft of this one thing. You in?

[Nelson Lichtenstein @NelsonLichtens1]

I watched the Biden pro union video again and I was struck by his repeated attacks on employer intimidation. Not rote on his part but with emphasis! This is new, nothing like it before. Puts Obama to shame.

pretty basic but imo the historian's most important role is to remind people that the political conditions and possibilities that surround them are not fixed or natural

Been there. Hoping to have this problem again soon. Missing Archives.

[Mairéad Lynn @maireadlynn]

I'm so tired of emails, slacks, zooms, phone calls, etc. I just want to walk into someone's office unannounced, plop down, ask them a question, brainstorm on something unrelated, chit chat for a while, then walk out completely forgetting why I stopped by in the first place.

We must pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.

Note: Dual Enrollment students often classified as “Transient” in college systems. Absolute BOTTOM of the pile. They can’t register until the first day of the semester. That’s too late for most. Would love to see @statesystem remove that barrier to inclusion. Easy Fix.

"analysis of the most recent federal civil rights data by the Community College Research Center part of Columbia University’s Teachers College shows white students enroll in traditional dual-enrollment courses at twice the rate of Black students" @TeachersCollege @CommunityCCRC
