Ironic post: this is my fifteenth anniversary on Twitter (or whatever this is now) and will be my last day. I will miss hearing from so many of you here. I am on Facebook regularly and just joined Bluesky. Please follow at @wendyfall.bsky.social. Deleting this app now. Bye!!

@heymrsbond I say this in college sometimes, too. :-(

@LiamLanigan2 Bran Stoker was Irish. Just sayin’. Super strange to genre stuff in Dracula!

For what it’s worth, a huge percentage of the members of SAG are not millionaires. They are working actors whose names aren���t on the posters. The only people the media are interested in are the stars, so this will be a poorly covered strike. Please be kind.

@tressiemcphd Heat-related illness is a real thing. It has a cumulative effect, so when you don’t cool off sufficiently it can get worse. It is exacerbated by many underlying conditions and eased by acclimatization. People do die of severe HRI.

@heymrsbond I don’t post much either, but I’m Wendy Fall, phd in English but I work in state government. Making small steps toward environmental justice, and practicing anti-racism while trying to change a giant institution from within. 🙄

@JoJoFromJerz Opening of the Lion King — because of the music.

@tressiemcphd Safer here than on online shopping apps, I think!

@raulpacheco We don’t encourage students’ curiosity or creativity enough. It’s hard to fake inquiry. It requires actual engagement, which they too often can skate by without.

@midnight_pals Ann Radcliffe: I invented this, sorta, but wait, horror, though? I like the word ‘terror’ better. Can we do cozy terror instead?

@ProfDarrylJones I like to write early drafts in Book Antiqua. I just about always submit in TNR though.

@sarahesilverman @KleinUla Solidarity on this. I have a syllabus that’s the official LMS document. It’s almost all boilerplate from admin. I give students a semester guide (my real policies and how to get an A) and a weekly ‘class update’ email that is meant for hype/encouragement.

@jacasiegel Osprey Flapjill bag. Light, super comfortable, and so durable I have hauled it all over for years (planes, trains, boats, all weather) & it looks brand new. Protects electronics well, has a pocket for everything, fully adjustable shoulder strap, so it can be worn cross-body.

@KatyaRahel @TeachMrReed There are. I just like to use as many ways as possible. Nothing scares me more as a teacher than that feeling that I’m losing ‘em when I explain an assignment. Probably my own hang-ups, I know.

@TheKTLe @TedCommunity @jasonsudeikis @tedlassopod In some way he went back to an imaginary wonderland that does not exist, like Mary Poppins.

@FromPhDtoLife Let’s not forget public service! Yes, there is money in industry, but academic folks can do a lot of good by working in local, state, and federal government roles. Leadership, innovation, project management, communication, research, and more — your talent is needed in government.

@Mark_Baden I’m from Michigan and I run into this all of the time when I tell people how much I love Detroit. There’s more than geography behind these attitudes, and people should think hard about why they condemn our beautiful cities so much.
