RT @mlastyle: "Bravo for common sense and for a little leeway here and there"--@LunsfordHandbks on the new MLA Handbook! https://t.co/vlHRY…
Replying to @colindickey
There is often a similar freedom in being explicitly enjoined from having an opinion.
Replying to @ayjayredux and @colindickey
Sadly, I can be forbidden, but I lack the power to forbid. I’ll work on it though!
Replying to @wynkenherself
*very very quiet cheers*
Replying to @RahawaHaile

An excellent move by @Slate — congrats!
RT @mlastyle: Thanks, Michelle! Looking forward to hearing more about your work with students & the new MLA Handbook! https://t.co/jGhE6Fj…
Our goal for the 8th edition of the MLA Handbook is very much to help writers at all levels learn! https://twitter.com/mluhtala/status/728540323039817730

I took the first half of the Brit Lit survey from Jo wayyy back in the day. Her loss was huge, and hit so many so hard.
I only knew bits of this story of the brilliant work and devastating loss of Jo Roberts, an undergrad prof of mine. https://twitter.com/wynkenhimself/status/729678139291541504
Looking forward to this discussion! https://twitter.com/KevinLFerguson/status/730399524494184448

I DID. And I was very, very sad. \(And I am now testing Fantastical\.\)
Big shout-out to @Samsung for putting a “I didn’t sign up for this” link in their account verification messages, enabling email protection.
The number of people who my email address is their email address is truly staggering.
Ok, now a shout-out to @Instagram for at least including \(if not quite highlighting\) a “not me” link in your account verification messages.
And some general shouting at the Kathleen Fitzpatrick who got a new smart phone and an Instagram and who needs to learn her email address.

Oh @hels, I am so sorry this continues. Sending strength.

Glad you like them! We’re putting the finishing touches on the ebook versions, forthcoming soon.
A growing collection of resources for teaching, learning, and using MLA style! https://twitter.com/mlastyle/status/732266141633122308
Why, thank you! https://twitter.com/amandafrench/status/732277156454236161
Whoa. This is… big. https://twitter.com/JenHoward/status/732524510700838912
I will say it again: scholarly networks that are not scholar-governed cannot be assumed to share scholars’ interests and values.
Replying to @kfitz
And for-profit networks will eventually be required to find a way to be profitable.
Replying to @kfitz
If you want an alternative, support your scholarly societies and get involved in their governance.
Replying to @sebastienmarion
Examples of scholar-governed networks? See @MLACommons \(http://commons\.mla\.org\) or @openlibhums \(http://openlibhums\.org\).
RT @rusalkat: "free" and "evolving" are wonderful things, as is this guide. woohoo! #MLA https://twitter.com/mlastyle/status/732266141633122308
@lmrhody It is not possible that I was not following you. I do not understand how Twitter works. Or doesn’t, as the case may be.
Replying to @TAC_NISO
I would say that the sale to Elsevier belies a primary commitment to the social science community, which is a shame given 20+ yrs.
Replying to @dominiquebabini
Thank you for these examples!
RT @mlastyle: Get a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the MLA Handbook, 8th ed. Thanks @ChicagoManual #MLA8 #mlastyle https://t.co/…

Man, “doughpods” is a little on the nose.

I am now officially afraid.

If only Fortune Magazine had called it one of the 101 Dumbest Moments in Scholarly Communication. http://archive.fortune.com/galleries/2007/fortune/0712/gallery.101_dumbest.fortune/59.html
I was sad years ago when @-replies started going only to mutual follows. I missed the discovery. But Twitter was different then.
This is better than I thought it was, but still not sure it’s a good thing. https://twitter.com/benthompson/status/735119912369160193
Fantastic novel by one of my favorite authors. And free! https://twitter.com/iBooks/status/735870821768388608

Sorry for going tech support script on you, but have you tried restarting? I’ve had random weirdness lately fixed w/reboot.
Replying to @GeorgeOnline
How annoying. I’m sorry not to have better suggestions!

Yeah, I do too, and am not having issues with it *knocks on desk*

Cannot wait! You will have to fill me in on your arrival, etc.
Replying to @mediapraxisme
Wow, so soon! I’m away for June but let’s make a plan for July!
A great step for greater discoverability! https://twitter.com/SHARE_research/status/736240585317703680
