@CmonMattTHINK Free version of Spotify in a web browser will let you listen sequentially.

But it's also interesting to see which bands/artists still design the experience of their music for the album to be played sequentially, versus assuming each track will be standalone.

@kareem_carr Sometimes past me is smart. Other times I leave comments for past me like "oh you copied *that* version of the code, did you?!?" so that future me can be reminded that I still need to fix my stupid choices.

@howie_hua 5/100 is 1/20 so 45/100 is 9/20. Then multiply by 40 (which is 2*20) and you get 9*2 or 18.

I am an exceptional teacher. I know it because of the relationships I build w/ students, my classroom management, the learning that takes place, and the JOY I personally experience in the classroom.

But,

I also recognize how I fail miserably at being a good teacher “on paper.”

[Melissa D @Dean_of_math]

I'm a teacher.
That means I'm a guide on the side AND a sage on the stage. I'm a faciliator of learning, AND I'm a director of experiences.
We're all these things at different times -- when our students need us to be.

Help me settle a bet:

👉 What year of teaching is this for you?
👉 What is your #1 goal for your first day of school with students?

@Notawful Thanks for spreading the word.

A 🧵 on burnout

Yesterday I learned that when people are burnt out, their amygdala enlarges. For all you non-neuroscientists, here's what that means and why it's important. 1/

@sarahcbogen Hooray!!

I realize this is satire and so it exaggerates for the sake of humor. But, if you're in academia and your real life job situation closely resembles this? Something needs to change because this kind of thing should never become normalized. https://t.co/yHuQSQk6pH

List of reasons to have a cup of tea:

-You’ve received good news
-You’ve received bad news
-You’re thirsty
-You’re tired
-You’re cold
-You’re under the weather
-You’re bored
-You need a break
-To make up after an argument
-Because someone else is having one
-To be polite
-Because you’re back from holiday
-Because biscuits are dry
-Because it’s a day ending in Y
-Just because you want one and you don’t ever need a reason so actually just ignore this list

Must reply to this email, so it's only logical to let it haunt my inbox for several months instead, providing me with a mini-crisis every time I see it.

@joshua_r_eyler Subscribed! But I am mildly amused at the way it reads in the message preview...
