Hey #academicsky, my students wanted more information about how long it takes to mark their stuff so I built this joereddington.com/2025/01/10/h... - what have I missed? Is that about the right amount of time to read 1,000 words? How long can you mark essays for in one day?

Cleopatra lived closer in time to 'yeet' being in the dictionary than to the construction of the Great Pyramid of Giza.

Cool and confusing. I had been married for a little over a year, we had our first kid, and life was good. I was enjoying my time as an infantry platoon leader and spent more time in the field doing gunnery & STX/LFXs than I thought I would. Young, dumb, in love, and in charge. Good, confusing times.

Christ is Born! Glorify Him! Merry Christmas to all! #Christmas #Orthodox #Abilene

Have any of these clowns considered the dynamics of elections with this map?

I wonder if gimmick accounts and their followers are aware of how trite these takes are.

You couldn’t ask for better weather for Reading Day, which, since my class has no final, is exactly what I’ll be occupying myself with today as I prep for next semester. #AcademicSky

Somewhere there’s a logistics officer who just wanted to watch the game and forget about the ZPARK for a while.

364 and a butt days until Army beats the hell out of Navy! #GoArmy

How it feels writing the end comment on your 56th student paper (my brain is mush and I am currently struggling to make a single clear sentence) #AcademicSky

I'm just a boy, reading something written by people with PhD's, hoping the subject at the beginning of this sentence connects with the object at the end of it despite fifty-two intervening clauses.

The reason so many 19th century novels really shine as audiobooks is because families reading aloud to each other at night *was* the entertainment of the 19th century.

your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

Completely done with grading for the semester. Now to figure out what I’m teaching next semester which starts in… 26 days. #AcademicSky

Love when I get request an inter-library loan and the book that shows up is over 125 years old. “Yep, let me just put this artifact in my backpack. Hope my water bottle that leaks sometimes isn’t doing that today.”
