I made this for my students last year and there are some links at the end to professional advice! docs.google.com/presentation... For more “real” advice, I tend to search for something like “annotations + libguide” in order to get librarians’ resources.

How Do Scholars Take Notes?

How do scholars take notes? I like seeing examples of different people’s notetaking, so I asked scholars to show me how they take notes for research.

“Teaching educators about AI is a ‘moral imperative’, said Randi Weingarten, the AFT president.” “And without outside funding, it was a choice between taking big tech’s money or doing nothing, she said.”

Andrew J Douglas@ajdouglas.bsky.social · 10h ago

There’s no way to spin this. “Big yech”—actually a nice typo (slip?) in the article—was able to buy off the leadership of the nation’s second largest teacher’s union for a paltry $12.5 million.

Teaching educators about AI is a “moral imperative”, said Randi Weingarten, the AFT president. She argues that AI training empowers teachers to make informed decisions about how, when or whether to use AI in their instruction. And without outside funding, it was a choice between taking big yech’s money or doing nothing, she said.

Emily Bell@emilybell.bsky.social · 10h ago

This is 💯 not true. It is never a choice between ‘taking big tech’s money and doing nothing’. A stronger moral imperative is NOT to take the money and the strings attached to it - particularly if you do not and cannot yet understand the implications

Today is the official publication day for the new book. I haven't received my own copies yet, and it's way too expensive for humans to buy, but if you can order it for your local library, that'd be great! www.routledge.com/Geocritical-...

Geocritical Cosmopolitanism: Space, Literature, and the Sense of the Global

Is the world a place? As its inhabitants, we belong to the world, with its increasingly interconnected systems and cultures, but the cosmopolitanism of our daily lives is often hidden from view. In th...

Rep. Max Miller: "When I was reported for child abuse of my daughter for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan."

You can never just move on from this, even after he's gone. Without punishment and ostracism for everyone who has participated in his crime spree over the last 18 months you can forget it- we're all just treading water until the next tyrant

A tangent from the Marvelman/Miracleman book research, related to Victor Fox, publisher of Wonder Comics, whose Wonder Man. Fox ran a series of ads across his comics for Kooba Cola—a fictional cola brand invented to sell the naming/promotion rights to a real soda manufacturer! #marvelman

Exactly. This is where theory is so helpful as a lens. (This is adding to not contradicting OP) So if you have a critical feminist lens, you understand that these are both the same project of marginalizing women and maintaining a binary that (white, cis, straight, wealthy) men are in charge of.

12 year old girls get genital inspections "for their safety" while wife beaters get endorsed for re-election. This whole protecting women and girls thing is a bit confusing.
