@rorhetorician Love this question! Especially b/c I think the tools that will help facilitate writing-related transfer (imagination, empathy, curiosity, etc.) align with dismantling institutions, which is why universities decreasingly provide environments that foster them.

Here's me with William & Harry pitching the idea of naming any future royal baby after their favorite #StarWars actor. Happy they chose Archie HARRISON Mountbatten-Windsor, but regret not being more specific. Should have pitched favorite #StarWars actor WHO PLAYED LUKE.🙄

Just so you know your profile photo is being used by several different accounts—it’s been stolen and reproduced! Simple to run a reverse image search to find where they are lurking. Be careful out there!

I like to imagine that after a year ends, the year just goes and joins all the other years at a bar, but this year none of the other years will hang out with 2018 because it was such a dick. Only then will 2018 start to cry, realizing what it has done, but it will be too late.

@loleen_berdahl Deirdre McCloskey, economist. She is a transgender woman who handled a truly wretched transition with more grace than anyone could. Her book, Crossings, is an inspirational read.

@loleen_berdahl Perhaps it’s obvious but I’m in awe of Jocelyn Bell Burnell. Her PhD supervisor was given the Nobel Prize for her work. This year when she was awarded £2.3mil for her discovery she donated it to fund underrepresented groups become physics researchers.

Rhetoric & Writing colleagues: I made a website that tracks new books in the field: rhetorlist.net I've too often missed the announcement for a great new book, only to find it months (or years!) later. Rhetorlist tries to solve that problem. I hope it's useful. (1/4)

Any good readings/lesson plans for teaching about false equivalency in composition? I have v smart students suggesting that an article by experts in Science is “biased” because it backs up a position on a controversial issue. This concerns me.
