Fantastic news! Congrats @sharonmleon and team! https://twitter.com/MSU_SocSci/status/1280216192385499138
This is not just cruel, but stupid in the extreme. A pointless show of power that will do enormous damage to the lives of students and the well-being of institutions. But, as we’ve said so many times, the cruelty and the stupidity are the point. https://twitter.com/ReichlinMelnick/status/1280207487573069827

I have found myself back in the mode of buying books 5-10 times faster than I can read them. I want to read everything, but so much else claims time and attention. I need a sabbatical dedicated to pouring words into my head rather than wrenching them out through my fingers.
Replying to @mazarines and @pmhswe
I’m so much slower than I used to be. Couple that with an increasingly fractured attention span…
Replying to @mazarines and @pmhswe
You are so kind!

Wouldn’t it? Comfy reading chairs, tea, and no internet connectivity.

YES.

We’re doing well so far. Labeling and dating everything and doing a FIFO rotation as much as possible.
Replying to @KWaldenPhD
Thank you for being there!
I totally agree. But living and working in a state where the boards of trustees are elected? I’d just urge some attention to elected how, and by whom, and with what terms and mandates. Just saying. https://twitter.com/DaveMazella/status/1281698589971013635

:looks around:
Not as currently configured, no.
So iOS 14 and macOS 11 look interesting, sure, whatever. But I’d pay cash dollars for a real refresh of Mail. Not more fonts or signatures or stationery type foofaraw. But snooze. Delayed send. IMPROVED SEARCH.
Replying to @kfitz
Take it apart and rebuild it as if you were inventing the desktop email client today. And then integrate it with the rest of the system in ways that actually work. That, I would pay for.
Replying to @cplong
Wow, that’s serious. I tried to get myself to use the desktop Outlook client but search was so completely broken it was unusable. And I really want one client that I can pick up all my accounts in. It doesn’t seem too much to ask!
Replying to @brockter, @cplong and @SparkMailApp
I have, and now can’t remember what made me switch away. Something did, though. Maybe I need to give it another shot.
Replying to @FrueheNeuzeit, @brockter, @cplong and @SparkMailApp
Call me shallow, but the aesthetics of Thunderbird are all wrong. I wish I didn’t care, but I do.
Replying to @FrueheNeuzeit, @brockter, @cplong and @SparkMailApp
Ahahahaha
Replying to @JosephJEsposito and @kawulf
Maybe. Most of the clients I’ve tried have been a little bells-and-whistles heavy, though. I’ll keep looking.
Replying to @richardshiggins
Outlook search may as well be a tiny hamster with a magnifying glass. It’s insanely bad.
Replying to @nickfalkner
Wouldn’t THAT be something.
Replying to @JosephJEsposito and @kawulf
Yes, the client! I have multiple email services, all of which I read through Mail, which hasn’t seen a decent update in years. I’ve experimented with a lot of alternative clients but keep coming back to Mail, defeated.
Ahahahahaha now make it so I can’t *read* Twitter.

Okay, this whole pandemic cooking thing may have peaked tonight. Roasted miso-marinated salmon, roasted string beans and garlic scapes, smashed new potatoes, and sautéed kale. I may never eat again.

Except for the leftovers.

Totally one of the best things I’ve read in the last several years. I taught The Fifth Season at the end of the spring and at least a third of the class had ordered the second volume by the time we wrapped up!

This. If we lose the USPS, we lose one of the most functional public services today. And the determination to kill it off is central to the GOP’s agenda: undermine any belief in or evidence of the public good. https://twitter.com/CassieCeleste/status/1286860183176531969
