Woo hoo!
Haven’t gotten to read this yet, but super looking forward to it. https://twitter.com/juancommander/status/1046832816640552960
Wow, this is great. Thanks for the post! https://twitter.com/cunycommons/status/1047177761348112385
So thrilled to be here for this, and in such amazing company! https://twitter.com/HRIatIllinois/status/1047957940043489280
I am sliding back and forth between incandescent take-to-the-streets rage and bleak take-to-my-bed despair.
Replying to @CJ_Daugherty
The absolute least.

I’ve been at a \(fantastic\) conference all day and am sitting at the \(excellent\) dinner and fantasizing about throwing bricks and/or sleeping for a year.
Replying to @sharonmleon and @wynkenhimself
Absolutely. <3
We will. https://twitter.com/wynkenhimself/status/1048666972521738240

This is the right step for a university committed to the broadest possible public service. I hope that forward-thinking US-based institutions might follow suit. The competition serves none of us well. https://twitter.com/BirkbeckUoL/status/1049664478357479424
Yes! \(I have such great colleagues\.\) https://twitter.com/billhd/status/1049742317270290432

Wait — ROUTLEDGE wasn’t sufficiently academic? At the peak of shaping cultural studies?
I’m delighted to be in Minneapolis today and tomorrow for the Politics and Aesthetics of Obsolescence, sponsored by the Moving Image & Media Studies Graduate Group. https://mimsgg.org/2018/08/31/politics-aesthetics-of-obsolescence-conference/
Okay, if anybody knows what it is that my calendar says I’m “busy” with on November 28, do let me know.
Replying to @LibSkrat
It would be! Alas, it’s an hour and a half block, so I suspect that’s not it. ☹️
Replying to @sharonmleon and @LibSkrat
That sounds quite reasonable!
Replying to @moncia
If I can’t figure it out, this may be a plan!
Replying to @khj5c
I checked, and it’s not that, but I think it’s something *like* that — a personal appointment that I didn’t want to announce to everyone who can see my calendar but that I couldn’t set to “private” on my phone. Figured I’d fill in the details later… and didn’t.
This position is centered at OSU but is a key part of an exciting collaboration with MSU. https://twitter.com/isaacweiner27/status/1051833750848458757
One good place to build such a site? @humcommons https://hcommons.org https://twitter.com/alicetiara/status/1052185402054979585

Hey, self-knowledge is an important thing, especially among internet doppelgängers.
Replying to @miriamkp
I usually wait until about 2:30 am to remember those.
Really excited about this! https://twitter.com/Educopia/status/1052347410049978369
Replying to @ryancordell
You joke. But I’ve spent the years since getting promoted to full writing terms of service and bylaws.
Replying to @mchris4duke
Somebody did this at my institution with my dean the other day. The good news is I was sitting directly across the table from him at the time the message was sent.
Replying to @mchris4duke
Except the message just asked it I was available. I have wondered what would have ensued if I had responded.

Replying to @tjowens
Hey, excellent! Congratulations — it looks fantastic!
Replying to @BerondaM
I’m so pleased with that! I hope the book lives up to it.
Replying to @drbruceherbert, @pmhswe and @amyeetx
Hey, fantastic!
Replying to @amndw2
I so feel this, Amanda. I went through a huge “something needs to shift” myself over the last several years. The changes were slow in coming, but privileging life over work \(and community over individual accomplishment\) has been at their heart. Sending you all my best!

I drove to city hall this afternoon and turned in my absentee ballot. In doing so, I saved $0.80 in postage and paid $1.85 in parking. But considering the crap luck I’ve had with absentee voting in the past \(I’m looking at you, 2016\), I’m taking no ... https://kfitz.info/22-october-2018-1734/
Replying to @wynkenhimself
Seriously. I did the index on my first book and vowed NEVER AGAIN. You have way more fortitude than I do.
Replying to @wynkenhimself
It is seriously an art. And not at all one I have an aptitude for. I have HUGE respect for those who do!
This looks like a great pairing, indeed! https://twitter.com/davidstaley8/status/1054706495647027201
Huge congratulations to the MLA team on the gorgeous relaunch of Profession! I am super excited about digging in. https://profession.mla.org/

Replying to @wynkenhimself
Ugh, fingers crossed for you!
Replying to @wynkenhimself
I... guess that’s not as bad as it could be?
Replying to @ayjay and @wynkenhimself
Indeed! I care wayyyy more about her index than many of my own projects.

Focus. https://kfitz.info/focus/
Day 1 of my attempt to return to early-morning focus. It was challenging, but I’m hoping that it might help create some much needed clarity for the day \(and days\) ahead. https://kfitz.info/focus
This could turn out to be the perfect demonstration either of the ways the field turns on itself or of its logrolling self-regard. Either way, ❤️ https://twitter.com/katiefitzpat/status/1056918006847102976
Replying to @katiefitzpat
Thank you! I’m pretty excited about it.
This is an extremely exciting development. Looking forward to seeing more open educational communities flourish! https://twitter.com/cbox/status/1056951237650903041
