Yesterday, I opened what I hope will be an ongoing conversation about Generous Thinking: http://www.plannedobsolescence.net/generous-thinking-the-university-and-the-public-good/
I am moved by the response so far. I look forward to talking more about the project. The first real excerpt will go up in a couple of days.
It’s simple and effective. Support @NEHgov by writing your representatives today! https://twitter.com/katinalynn/status/782969907877142528

Maybe! Where is your piece coming out? I’ll keep an eye out for it.
Replying to @minhyoungsong and @schlundvials
Fantastic. Thanks for letting me know!
This is a question I would have liked to have heard! https://twitter.com/trevormunoz/status/783358521177964544
This morning, the first bit of Generous Thinking. Comments very much desired. http://www.plannedobsolescence.net/generous-thinking-introduction/
Replying to @elotroalex
Thanks, Alex! Trust me when I say I do too.
I so, so look forward to having more to share! https://twitter.com/elotroalex/status/783678440230772736

I am terrified.
Replying to @wynkenhimself
I cannot imagine.
Replying to @rgfeal
He is fully prepared to burn everything down tonight.
Replying to @Ted_Underwood and @rgfeal
Exactly.
Replying to @rgfeal
I believe both of those things. I also believe that he is capable of anything.
Replying to @beecroftaj and @rgfeal
No, you’re right: he’ll definitely go down with this. But I’m afraid he’s just out to inflict maximum damage on the way.
Replying to @rgfeal and @beecroftaj
Again, I believe she is ready. And I believe he is going nuclear.
The silence of the NBC stream is both blissful and portentous.
Great first question: remember that kids are — and should be — watching.
Bigly.

Replying to @martin_eve
Congratulations! That’s a great milestone.
Replying to @kfitz
.@melstanfill Thanks for this! I do think that those who have already been heard have a greater responsibility to listen, but I hope +
Replying to @kfitz
.@melstanfill that a more generous model of professionalism might shift status away from playing the critical game and toward sthg richer.
Replying to @kfitz
.@melstanfill It’s in all of our interests. We’ve had enough live-by-the-sword & its inevitable outcome.
Replying to @j_zimms and @colindickey
I have a recurrent dream in which I discover new rooms in my house, so this is kinda freaking me out.
Replying to @marynmck

Replying to @james3neal
Congratulations — fabulous news! @US_IMLS
15 years before I told the people I most needed to know. Publicly, still never, after 41 years. https://twitter.com/goldietaylor/status/786364887819661312
Replying to @wynkenhimself
Backatcha. ❤️
This has been a sleepless night. I’ve been awake for hours now, trying to figure out what to say.
Replying to @kfitz
Last night, in response to claims that the women weren’t credible because they didn’t come forward back when, @goldietaylor put out a call. https://twitter.com/goldietaylor/status/786364887819661312
Replying to @kfitz
Hundreds of women — and men — responded with their own stories. Most were silent for years. Many had never said anything until now.
Replying to @kfitz
It is a heartbreaking stream, and one that is all too familiar.
Replying to @kfitz
Why don’t those who have been abused come forward? Sometimes it’s shame.
Replying to @kfitz
Sometimes it’s the fear of reprisal.
Replying to @kfitz
Sometimes it’s the certainty that they won’t be believed.
Replying to @kfitz
Sometimes it’s all three.
Replying to @kfitz
It takes extraordinary courage to go public with private shame, especially when the perpetrator is powerful.
Replying to @kfitz
I honor the courage of these women who are stepping forward now with a story they hoped they’d never have to tell.
Replying to @kfitz
I honor their courage in the face of the onslaught that is now certain to come.
Replying to @kfitz
I stand with them, and with everyone else who has faced such pain, publicly or privately.
Replying to @kfitz
Support is available if you need it. And if you can provide support, please do. http://rainn.org is a good place to begin.
Replying to @sherah1918
Not unless you get something out of it.
Replying to @sherah1918
Exactly. If there were something in it for you \(inclusion in publication, opportunity for your own research\), then ok. Otherwise
Replying to @sherah1918
you deserve to be paid.
Replying to @sherah1918
The notion that scholars can do free consulting for commercial entities bothers me, obviously.
Replying to @elotroalex, @seth_denbo and @mandellc
Great seeing you too!
Replying to @moncia
Sending you <3
Replying to @jvinopal
I am going to miss you tremendously. But see you in Milwaukee?
Replying to @jvinopal
RATS. Makes perfect sense, of course, but rats. I will hope for another crossing of paths soon!
Replying to @sleonchnm
Wait, does that mean you’ll be at DLF?
Replying to @sleonchnm
Oh hey! That’s great. Let’s make a plan.
Replying to @sleonchnm
\(Great minds\!\)
Replying to @RahawaHaile
You are a hero.
Replying to @jvinopal
This is not the point of your tweet, but when did you receive your absentee ballot? Haven’t gotten mine & am anxious about it.
Replying to @jvinopal
Phew. Okay, great. I hate feedback-less systems. It would be good to have some acknowledgment that the request was received!
Replying to @CJ_Daugherty
So serious!
Replying to @CJ_Daugherty
It’s very worrisome: how can you trust a paradigm in which light can be both particle and wave?
Replying to @wynkenhimself
Though no doubt annoying in the moment, that is a day well spent.
Friends, I have an all-day meeting to chair tomorrow, and it’s going to start early and run late.
So I wish those of you who are watching the debate strength, but for the sake of tomorrow I am going into deep avoidance mode tonight.
A Russian seminar on the philosophy of education has been reading Generous Thinking. I’d love to see your responses. http://www.plannedobsolescence.net/generous-thinking-introduction/

Hey, thank you! I am currently working on the chapter about reading, and you are a key interlocutor there.
Replying to @cwellmon and @meusabsconditus
That’s great to hear. I’ll look forward to seeing where that history takes you.
Super excited about this. Thanks for sharing, @martin_eve! https://twitter.com/MLACommons/status/789490769929314304
