Haven't posted here for a while, but we have a new website at https://t.co/JxV2wwZ3PX (note the "and"!). If you teach college writing in the Boston region, please register and consider getting involved. We need new board members to replace a couple who are rotating off!

I missed my semi-annual tweet opportunity! I should’ve posted about how great the @BostonRhetComp Summer Institute was last week… Thanks for letting me facilitate a workshop on fun (aka “playful pedagogy”). So nice to be back in person 🎈🙂

It’s free! 👍🏼

If you missed today's episode of Academic Twitter, you'll want to look yourself up on Course Hero. You might find, like I did, Creative Commons (free! open!) licensed IP of yours being sold to subscribers for profit. I hope today starts the countdown to takedown.
