Fresh graffiti in Vienna on the statue of Karl Lueger. (And it seems like more people stopping to read about it)

Can someone explain what these "limit times" would be? Seems too fast for a regular lap lane. I cannot make sense of it. (At Schönbrunner Bad in Vienna) #SchwimmeninWien
Apparently this sign is funny to non-German speakers, my mom tells me😂
Arrived in Vienna for my 4 weeks as a Fellow at VWI, thanks to EHRI-ERIC fellowship. So grateful to have this opportunity to access libraries and archives in Vienna. @ehri-project.eu
Best part about research trips abroad? Discovering the historic swimming pools. 😍 Had a great swim this morning at Kongressbad in Vienna.
Two people have climbed to the top of the Empire State Building antenna. They are holding a banner that reads: “When the power of love beats the love of power, the world knows peace”
Gender neutral language in the German classroom? Check out this interview with Illi Anna Heger! "if you include gender-neutral, gender inclusive language in the DaF classroom, you have to keep in mind that nothing is set in stone yet." onlinelibrary-wiley-com.kzoocoll.idm.oclc.org/doi/10.1111/...

Yesterday: Commencement. Today: faculty writing retreat. ✍️ ✍️ ✍️
Omg I had not even thought about this possibility yet😭
Marc Watkins@marcwatkins.bsky.social · 4mo agoWe've only begun to think about the risks AI agents pose to faculty labor. Grading is one area. Consider if a student uses an agent to fill out a teacher evaluation and the upstream consequences of bias impacting promotion, tenure, or renewal. open.substack.com/pub/marcwatk...
Very proud of our graduating seniors who presented their research yesterday! Great to see all their hard work pay off. #KalamazooCollege
@jeskeets.bsky.social #NoBuffs - what an episode! Amazing. I couldn't believe they had to go right from pigging out at the auction into a challenge. 🤮 What would be the worst classic survivor immunity challenge to do after a big meal? Looking forward to the pod tomorrow! #NoSpearFishingNeeded
Very excited to be among the EHRI Conny Kristel Fellows 2026 and meet everyone at our welcome session today! www.ehri-project.eu/ehri-fellows...

@jeskeets.bsky.social so Coach cites Magellan, Freud, Nietzsche ...when he is not whispering haikus... who would you be citing from memory out there on the island? What would be the #NoDunks inspirational words of wisdom? #survivor50
Talking about "Wäsche waschen" in German class and I told my students I grew up in the Midwest and we said "to do the wash" in my family (not laundry). They looked at me like they had never heard this. How common is this elsewhere?! #Regionalisms #AmericanEnglish

Spring term starts tomorrow and some of our students returning from Study Abroad brought us a new Dept Mascot😂 #BernddasBrot
@jeskeets.bsky.social Is this a new Buff fashion move? Did the #NoBuffs guys try this one out? @nodunks.com
German instructors: join us April 8 for this great webinar sponsored by the German Special Interest Group! Free to ACTFL members!
This is presenting a new challenge as a German teacher. Although the article does say they know how to shift in register to more formal writing.... www.upworthy.com/gen-z-calls-...
Gen Z thinks capital letters are just 'too intense.' And a linguist agrees.
It's not about being lazy.

You know you're a Lang teacher when you watch this challenge with the paintings in #TraitorsUK & #TheTraitors and all you can think about is how fun this would be in class. Group 1 reads a description and acts out a painting, Group 2 gets a photo and has to match it to the original. #langchat
