Thank you for sharing this; I missed it when it originally aired. It’s searing and important.
Replying to @tressiemcphd and @AmanpourCoPBS
And congratulations on the paperback release — it’s such a brilliant book, and all its success is so well deserved.

What would it be like to assess your work according to your own standards, rather than constantly comparing yourself to others? https://kfitz.info/self-assessment/
This is why Beronda is such a good model. https://kfitz.info/self-assessment/ https://twitter.com/BerondaM/status/1181199297825644545

Enormous thanks to all my friends at @virginia_tech for such a fantastic three days of talks and discussions about generous thinking and the future of the university!
It was an energizing tour, and I’m filled with ideas about what might come next. \(I hope you are too\!\)
Regret indeed. https://twitter.com/ShoshanaAkabas/status/1182349339705925632
Replying to @quinnanya and @cecilealduy
That is so wonderful to hear! The need is so much in the air; I’m just glad to be part of these discussions.
This is indeed such an important move that I’ll give it a RT. Real sustainability lies in the difficult work of cross-institutional collaboration. Proud to be a part of the @BigTenAcademic Alliance! https://twitter.com/chronicle/status/1182264539775152128

Dear Outlook 365 team: Upon double-clicking an xlsx attachment, the “you haven’t selected an application to open this kind of file” message I got was kind of a surprise. May I come introduce you to your colleagues down the hall? Love, kfitz.
Soooo. I think I may need a trustworthy fan to explain to me the thing about Succession. Because we watched the first episode and absolutely hated everybody, and not in an enjoyable way.
Replying to @amandafrench
Yeah, I think there’s a relationship here. We’re a couple of episodes into season 1 of Fleabag and are finding it a little hard going. But nowhere near as hard as Succession.
I mean, the pleasure of Succession could well be in imagining them all up against the wall when the revolution comes, who’s to say.
But otherwise I am not obtaining traction with a bunch of people I could not bear to listen to for one more second.
Replying to @Greene_DM
I can see that. Though: Arrested Development at least had a reasonably sympathetic point of identification. And even so I wasn’t ever able to watch much.
Replying to @gworthey, @Ted_Underwood, @hathitrust and @iSchoolUI
Huge congratulations, Glen — and good get, HTRC! Can’t wait to hear more!
Replying to @bukuwawa and @jwolman
For me it falls into that Seinfeld space of shows about horrible people for whom I feel zero sympathy or interest. Granted, that’s only after one episode. But I just don’t see the appeal?
Replying to @brandontlocke
I am more than a little concerned to hear that you have spent time in the facilities of what my colleague refers to as The People’s Kroger, Brandon.

Hey, hi, been on planes most of the day, any interesting breaches of national security happen while I was out of contact?
Well, surely an armed Marine guard has carted them all off to the brig the same way they would any other federal employee who forcibly violated a secure space, right?

100%. This includes asserting your right to share your work via the repository of your choice. Some publishers permit institutional repo deposit in standard agreements but not disciplinary repositories. https://twitter.com/familyunequal/status/1186996450061963264
Replying to @kfitz
Disciplinary repositories like @humcommons and @socarxiv can connect your work to your community of practice. Don’t sign that right away.
On my way home from a lovely, energizing trip to @WSUPullman for the launch of their Center for the Arts and Humanities. Thanks to everyone there, but especially @toddbutler, for the great conversations!

Soooo. Apparently Outlook for both iOS and macOS decided to stop picking up Gmail at some point in the last 24 hours, and decided it was unnecessary to let know this key fact.
Replying to @kfitz
Which is to say, Outlook users, check your Gmail. Maybe they’re just picking on me. But maybe not.
Replying to @jeroenson
Outlook for iOS has started picking up again. No clue what’s going on.
