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!
What amazing things are you all doing to disrupt the dominant lit-crit narrative? #SundayShare @writingproject @ncte
If we are to have engaging and robust writing programs in high schools, we need to challenge the dominance of the lit-crit paper. It is too narrow a focus. Fine to write about texts, but there are other topics for analysis.
Kyrsten Sinema is sworn in today as the nation's first openly bisexual senator and the first-ever Mamie Van Doren cosplayer in congress
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.
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.
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.
Dr. Toni Schmader is working to better understand why we treat each other as “us” and “them.”

Thank you thank you very proud of this How many of you noticed that the melody under “I have crossed the horizon...” is the same as when baby Moana first speaks to the ocean

We are the first human beings to see a Mars sunset. Its quite a thought.
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.
