I was your friendly, neighbourhood rhetoric and game studies diva. Now I’m not sure what’s going on. I'm into critical pedagogy, rhetorical genre studies, open ed, and trusting my students.

If any postsecondary institutions appointed WPA to senior leadership positions, you’d see rapid and real change that solves actual problems.

Being an academic is a job. University governance is part of the job, not an annoyance. When we refuse serve (on Senate, on committees), academics are handing the keys to the institution to brand-driven corporate-style leadership.

And let’s not forget the university admin in BC who cut faculty wages but gave themselves a raise. 🫤

What taxpayer money Poilievre spent last year is equal to: 1288 years of tuition. 2514 mortgage payments. Groceries for a family of 4 for 523 years. Daycare for a year for 1046 children. 118 senior couples total gross average income for a year. #cdnpoli #grifterPoilievre

Last year my wife had breast cancer and a double mastectomy. This morning, for the first time ever, she was challenged in the changing rooms at the swimming pool. Her breasts were not what make her a woman - but, breasts or not, she is entitled to dignity and protection from vigilantes.

Absolutely not. Go bother some other country and get your own competent leader.

See Steinbeck, John. Grapes of Wrath. The U.S. was founded on the premise that human pain and suffering is worth it to make a lot of money. And so it goes.

The war between faculty and admin has to stop. No one wins, especially the students. Since admin makes more money, had more resources and power, might be nice if they stopped punching down.

CPTSD is not about what happened, or our supposed unwillingness to "let it go." It's is about how what happened wormed its way into our identity, beliefs, & reflexive behaviors. Realistically "letting it go" means reformatting who we are, day by day-- not a one time decision.

Do the derailed Democrats know Biden isn’t president right now?

submitted 17 days ago • 53 comments

I realize that it’s easy to dunk on Trump for his post giving condolences to the Biden family, but perhaps it’s better to shit on the really bad stuff. Giving condolences is the right thing to do. Anger at everything is anger at nothing. It’s meaningless.

I absolutely am 💯 sick of hearing that online learning is bad. Nah, it’s not. Online learning forges new ways to eradicate ableism. But online learning requires dig-ped informed teachers (costs💰) and admin that do NOT fetishize making faculty teach more for less money (needs creative leadership)

I am not a tech reporter anymore but I think it would be a public service if someone wrote an article explaining that chat bots are not “snitching” on themselves they are just doing what they do which is produce words that sound plausibly true but might not be
