@ayjay Just for credit-where-credit-is-due purposes, that stingray tweet originated elsewhere: https://twitter.com/Krakenpodcast/status/583901762249216001
@ayjay Ostensibly original tweets that are in fact unattributed retweets have begun to annoy me greatly.
Replying to @ayjay
If only someone taught about the importance of crediting one’s sources in college writing courses.
Replying to @ayjay
Well, sure, and everybody pays that one guy to write their papers, so it must be okay.
I have seen no fewer than five RT'd versions of that baby stingray tweet, all from different apparent originating accounts.
That form of unattributed copying would be considered plagiarism in school or in journalism. So why would it be it okay on Twitter?
Passing someone else's words or ideas off as your own is intellectually dishonest and lazy. In whatever medium. #grrrr
Replying to @jwolman
This ravioli casing is pretty yum tho.
Replying to @gilmani
You know, I think it’s one thing to use a meme as an illustration of a point you’re making, and another to copy an entire tweet.
Replying to @gilmani
\(But linking is probably best\!\)
I just had a very intense dream \(yes during an afternoon nap it’s Saturday shut up that’s not the point\).
Some friends of mine were hanging out with Tana French, and I was super excited because I thought they’d introduce me.
Instead, they pretended not to know me and just walked by as quickly as they could.
I am old enough that I would really love it if my dreams were a little less like junior high, thanks.
Replying to @bruceholsinger
Ooh, the underexplored Tana French archetype.
Replying to @bruceholsinger
That’s so great to hear. My dream was no doubt triggered by my excitement about getting ready to start her newest!
Replying to @jwolman and @Mailbox
They had been working, but I think the most recent update broke them.
Replying to @CJ_Daugherty
See, I knew you were way more likely than me to be parodied!
Replying to @whitneytrettien
Huge congratulations, and good for UNC!
Replying to @LibSkrat
Quite possibly! Let’s email. It’s a fast trip but it would be great to see you.

Yay, Brian!
Very, very gradually rebuilding a computer that had begun crashing 3+ times a day. I love it when technology just works.
Replying to @amandafrench and @VTLibraries
Yay, Amanda!
Replying to @LibSkrat
Woo hoo! I will cross fingers, knock wood, and anything else I can think of.
Replying to @LibSkrat
Ooh, good to know. I think I may have time.
Replying to @LibSkrat
Especially since my own farmer’s market is still in its late apples and root vegetables phase.
Very happy to have a new essay in the #AltAcademy cluster, “Looking for Signposts”! http://mediacommons.futureofthebook.org/alt-ac/

I’m an LSU alum, and have been watching the same thing. Utterly heartbreaking. http://www.nola.com/politics/index.ssf/2015/04/lsu_academic_bankruptcy.html
I am today at the University of Duisburg-Essen for the Global Young Faculty conference on Open Knowledge in Digital Universities. #gyf3ok
Speaking of the digital university, I am once again reminded that Eduroam is the greatest thing since sliced bread. #gyf3ok
Introduction to the Global Young Faculty program by Dr. Dagmar Eberle, deputy director of the Mercator Research Center Ruhr. #gyf3ok
Today’s conference is the final program of the GYF cohort focused on the potentials of digital media in the academic world. #gyf3ok
Now, an introduction to that cohort by Prof. Dr. Eva Wilden and Dr. Thomas Ernst: how they came to work together & their objectives. #gyf3ok
The possibilities of digital media: Dr. Markus Neuschäfer of OKFN, unable to come to Essen, joins us via Skype. #gyf3ok
Neuschäfer’s presentation is entitled “Rewiring the Ivory Tower: Digital Universities and the Evolution of Optimal Science.” #gyf3ok
Begins w Nabokov: “The ‘ivory tower’ cannot be suffered unless it is transformed into a lighthouse or a broadcasting station” #gyf3ok
Neuschäfer: new technologies have potential to decrease control of knowledge but still subject to old habits \(IP laws, anxieties\) #gyf3ok
Neuschäfer quotes Paul A. David: “Open science norms and institutions are a social innovation whose workings + #gyf3ok
+ must be continually re-created as ‘social facts’” #gyf3ok
“Open Knowledge in Digital Universities” is being live-streamed at http://gyf-blog.de/ and tweeted at #gyf3ok. Follow & ask questions!
Replying to @ekansa
Yes. :)
Replying to @ekansa
FOMO, academic style.
.@DrThomasErnst asks how we might change the connotations of the “crowd” from negative to positive in support of open science. #gyf3ok
Replying to @alanyliu
Alan, I meant to thank you for this! I appreciate the kindness and the amplification.

It never feels like a trip to Europe until I’ve had a chocolate croissant. It now feels like a trip to Europe.
Replying to @KateMaltby
Of course! Thanks for correcting my jetlag-addled brain.
Replying to @meganeabbott, @SJP and @EW
WHOA. That’s HUGE!
