A generous thought, indeed! How might such a commitment change the relationship between the university and the public good? https://twitter.com/gabrielledean/status/969222301735706625
Delighted to be at @GrinnellCollege today, speaking as part of the Scholar’s Convocation series: http://www.grinnell.edu/about/offices-services/conference-operations/convocation #generousthinking
I did! Come join the discussion. https://twitter.com/Aisa_OA/status/969258834463199232

Ooh, thanks! Unfortunately I’m giving a presentation at that time. Will the livestream also be captured for later viewing?

You mean casserole?
The irony of having missed this meeting while away giving a talk on Generous Thinking has not escaped me. Hoping to contribute to this work at home. https://twitter.com/HuMetricsHSS/status/969588200011456513
Replying to @hels
Ah, this makes me sad, mostly because of the degree to which gnocchi speaks to the entirety of my Italian/Irishness. I love it when it’s great. It isn’t great all that often, and yet I am unable to stop trying.
Replying to @plragde and @EmilyRCWilson
I started reading it at the first of the year. A book a week. It’s astonishingly brilliant. Don’t miss the intro & translator’s note.

Thanks, @jbj and @ProfHacker! Looking forward to hearing your readers’ thoughts. https://twitter.com/ProfHacker/status/971125226154192897

Thanks for the tip! I’ll look forward to reading.

Thanks for this link, Sheila!
ICYMI, the draft of Generous Thinking is open for comment until the end of the month. I’m grateful to everyone who’s helping me make the book do the best work it can for the future of the university. #generousthinking http://generousthinking.hcommons.org
Replying to @jackjewers
Uh, that road we drove down when I visited that went pretty much directly into the Shire? \(Okay, it might look less enchanted when you get out of the car\. I couldn’t say\.\)
Replying to @jackjewers
Yeah, that was the thing about that drive: you and @CJ_Daugherty seemed no less shocked by it than I was.
A to-do item popped up in my reminders today: “prepare Spring 2019 book order.”
Happily, I’d included additional comments: “no, really.”
Very excited about “Traces,” the second issue of thresholds: http://openthresholds.org @openthresholds
Indeed. \(If you agree, have I got a book\-in\-process for you\.\) https://twitter.com/sharonmleon/status/975093703181262848
Replying to @kfitz
I’m going to “actually” myself here: you don’t have to agree. Competition, I strongly believe, is going to be our downfall. http://generousthinking.hcommons.org
Replying to @cplong and @BreneBrown
Absolutely. Those habits of vulnerability are necessary to real scholarly curiosity and experimentation, and yet all of our assessment mechanisms, at both the individual and the institutional levels, militate toward competition.

A quick reminder that commenting remains open on Generous Thinking through the end of March. Which is weeks and weeks away, I’m quite sure. #generousthinking http://generousthinking.hcommons.org

Huge thanks to those who’ve read and commented over the last several weeks. I’m enormously grateful for the time and the feedback, #generousthinking in action.

Aaargh I forgot you guys are here. We’re heading out tomorrow morning. I leave you both good weather and an amazing post-march, post-launch glow. @CJ_Daugherty
Replying to @CJ_Daugherty and @jackjewers
Surely we can come up with a reason to get you to mid-Michigan!
Replying to @jackjewers and @CJ_Daugherty
You seem to be good at catching marches on arrival here!
Replying to @CJ_Daugherty and @jackjewers
Not the worst plan!
Replying to @jackjewers and @CJ_Daugherty
There are not enough hearts for that. :)
This whole thread, but especially this. And especially with respect to scholar-governed, independent, not for profit communications infrastructure. https://twitter.com/wilbanks/status/977908590425108480

Thanks one more time to all the amazing commenters who engaged with #generousthinking. I am so looking forward to starting the rethinking and revision process with the benefit of your kind critiques. http://generousthinking.hcommons.org
Replying to @kfitz
\(That this revision process is slated to begin on what is both Easter Sunday and April Fool’s Day seems entirely appropriate: a new start, with recognition that one may have made more than a few goofs\.\) #generousthinking

I have heard it rumored that one can get ahold of an old version of the Kindle app. Not that I would do that. But someone who would do that would need to keep getting ahold of that old app because it will auto-update — but only once per session.
Replying to @miriamkp
Anyhow, I’ve heard that books downloaded via the restored old app can still be opened.
Replying to @samplereality and @miriamkp
Ooh, that’s good to know.
