- This is not Luddism, it's common sense. It's very often all there, if you care to look at it
- Una vez más, ruego a periodistas, editores, y periódicos que pongan un poco más de esmero en traducir expresiones, eslóganes, y nombres comunes. Estoy viendo cada barbaridad literal que me duelen los ojos... 😵💫

- In the '60s, an all-star team of Soviet artists assembled -- including Yuri Norstein. Together, they crafted a gentle, quiet gem called The Mitten. It's lovely stop motion, and it laid the groundwork for the team's later Cheburashka. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/a-film-for...

- Enough about books in dialogue with other books, with traditions, with ideas. I want them sitting across the room furiously pretending to ignore each other. Books on non-speaking terms! Books that glare and point! Books storming out of the room crying!
- Great opportunity 👇

- 💯 nothing like a good old self-fulfilling narrative. And many of our students do like long movies and books. As simple as it sounds, apart from helping those who struggle, one of the first tasks for a teacher is celebrate that and let students say they like them so that we can break the spell.
- Like many, I also promote reflection of what boredom is, why we are bored and/or why we are no longer bored. I tell them it's good to be bored, and it's good to do nothing sometimes!
- Re: "students no longer can sit through a whole movie," "students don't read full novels anymore," or whatever new anxiety, the best case I can make to them, when they admit they struggle, is to think about it as "these are not the movies/novels you would choose to read/watch, and that's not only +
- 💯 I sometimes contribute to a small program to prepare first-time teachers and I try to emphasize this as much as I can when I meet with them. You can't project your student self onto the audience you'll soon be teaching for
- Re: the bottification* of our mediated realities, Baudrillard would be laughing at how cheaply obvious the whole thing turned out to be. He would have asked us to have a minimum of decency. *Dibs on the term if no one has coined it yet
- Let's go! 👇 Stick to the task, all you detectives! In fact, you'd be surprised how often you don't even know what's what. Such is the ring L2 speakers must constantly go through. It's like finding you out comes with a medal or something.
- Dear Reviewers, While feedback on language clarity are appropriate, noting or assessing an author’s native language is neither relevant nor appropriate. Plenty of native English speakers also have clunky writing at times. Thank you in advance. Sincerely, An Editor #AcademicSky

- Increasingly feeling this. And it's not only about using a 🤖to "do the reading for you" (as if). It's about citing the same way you make water available by opening a fire whose. Also, I love "slow research" as a response to this and other pressures, but research *is* slow. To each their own I guess.

- Thoughts on Part I, Chapter 2 of Mary Shelley's The Last Man: loved how the narrator springs the year 2073 onto the reader, no big deal, after offering a pastoral picaresque of sorts that fits more with early 19thC Britain than anything else. Moving into courtship drama territory. #LastMan200

- This is unfortunately way more common than it should be. While I think citing one's work is totally legit and often necessary to build on and direct the reader related work, sometimes it's tricky to write in a way that doesn't identify you (key to the review process), including not citing yourself.
