Women experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselv...

I think we can agree that AI detectors are out. But universities are ignoring the fact that faculty cannot really out-design assessments to meet the challenges of this moment. We need sustained institutional support to be the best teachers we can be, and we aren't getting it.

AI Detectors Are Out, New Assessments Are In A growing number of universities have prohibited AI detectors, arguing they are ‘unreliable’ indicators of cheating. But where does that leave faculty, who know all too well that cheating is rampant in the age of AI? https://bit.ly/4wGitF7 #EDUSky

After watching a horrible baseball game and reading horrible news headlines, I decided to make some cookies. Here are my rage snicker doodles.

Max Miller: “If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?" This is a classic abuser tactic.

Accepting a White House invitation from Trump is no longer just a formality. For a team built on a diverse and immigrant-heavy fan base, it is a disregard for the humanity of their supporters. @carronjphillips.bsky.social goes deeper

The franchise has gone from taking a stand against ICE to bending the knee in submission to this administration’s corrup

My 7 year old: I’m too tired to fall asleep. Me: oh my gosh, what a predicament. My 7 year old commences making dinosaur noises.

"don't cite what you haven't read" remains the basic entry level academic responsibility; & if your discpline "doesn't have that as a norm" then sorry, your discipline needs reforming for this new world. Citations are structural parts of trust and knowledge building, not trinkets or optional extras

Academics and technologists are sounding the alarm about a growing crisis in scholarship as we know it: AI-generated citations of nonexistent papers that have infested real journals. Despite being fake, the sources are widely assumed to be authentic the more they appear in published literature.

I’m hating Facebook because it’s pushing allll the “Canada is responsible for American air” articles, including a post by the Whitehouse! I couldn’t figure out how to block the whitehouse account so I snoozed it and wished i could pick “all of the above” for the reasons.

My mom just described that effing guy, you know who, as a “total boob ass”…in case your looking for new ways to describe him

Four days apart. One Canadian dies fighting wildfires in the U.S. Trump threatens Canada with tariffs over their wildfires.

Probably more helpful to think of them not so much as “Canadian wildfires” but rather “climate change wildfires currently consuming Canada”

So I have the best uncle in the world. He mailed a trove of fossil treasures from Alberta and BC. Not sure if he found this ammonite as he did the others, but I love it. My fav piece, however, is the tiny and complete Crinoid he found in Bragg Creek, Alberta.

The skies of Ontario look like something out of a post-apocalyptic film

Sir Thomas More, 1527. A complicated character, here brilliantly portrayed by Hans Holbein whose day is today.

“It is my belief, that we should not be too sure of having found Christ in ourselves until we have found him also in that part of humanity that is most remote from our own.” Thomas Merton

Atta boy, Dylan Cease, you beauty. #AllStarGame #BlueJays

Um, no. I decline.

For those of you thinking about having more than one child: say you have 3 children. There will be a night when all 3 wake up. And all 3 will wake up and need you AT DIFFERENT TIMES. And you won’t get any sleep until 6am. I hope that helps.

So the Blue Jays game today has a female homebase umpire AND a female play-by-play announcer. Cool beans.

The Treason records of Anne Boleyn and the Gunpowder Plotters, together at last for Archives Fest 2026 at The National Archives.

Carney calling Lindsey Graham a defender of democracy and freedom when the man made jokes on his official X account about taking over Canada is just the last straw of many last straws for me.

Here’s the thing: I could probably come up with lots of creative, AI-proof online approaches. But finding the time to reflect an innovate comes at a premium. I often revamp my courses, but this is an order of magnitude much higher in redesign. AI is not a pedagogical crisis, it’s a labor crisis.

It’s such a bummer. Online/asynchronous/virtual teaching can be incredibly valuable and with a little extra structure can be an amazing and scalable resource but now AI has rendered the whole enterprise impossible.

A beautiful sky for soccer tonight.

Can you believe it's just oil paint on flat panels? Almost miraculous. Annunciation as trompe l'oeil sculpture by Jan van Eyck, d. OTD 1441.

The son of the man shot and killed by ICE: I am Ronaldo Salgado, the oldest son of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. He should've been picking up the last of his guys before heading to finish up construction. Unbeknownst to all of us, my dad had been shot inside his van by ICE agents in unmarked cars.

(1/2) Resembling the tiny parts of an impossibly intricate and eye-catching timepiece, strewn from a watchmakers toolkit, these are in fact fossil Crinoids, Corals, Bryozoans and Brachiopods.
