I’m turning 26 soon and also losing my health insurance, which means I only have a few more months to try rock climbing. Thanks to @TheDevinWallace and @mr_gusaroni for helping me out with this one in @mcsweeneys. mcsweeneys.net/articles/my-l…
NAILED it on the cover image for this one, @mcsweeneys! Grateful for a humorous platform for this not-really-funny issue: mcsweeneys.net/articles/what…

"For our future students to meet the challenges of post-apocalyptic life, we must shift our focus from 'careers that don't yet exist' to 'careers that haven't existed for quite some time,' like blacksmiths and town criers."

"In January, we will conduct annual reviews. The annual reviews are basically a redo of the merit reviews, except that there’s no positive incentive at all."

Thrilled to have this very violent piece up at LOL today!
"I realize that my life isn’t in danger, but the lives of those around me definitely are, and after my doctor’s comments that includes him. Also my husband, a few of my children (I’m beyond pretending to love them all equally), Amy in HR." - @jenner_young

@TheTodayShow : My mom's book group has been meeting every month since 1977. They're about to hold their last meeting in September. This would be an amazing story. Pics then and now. Everyone please share this tweet, it would mean the world to these ladies 🥰
This is satire but also super serious and I mean it both ways link.medium.com/W1cCw8jdDAb

Responding to @biblioracle re: my @insidehighered piece on AI and first-year writing (and hoping @biblioracle will re-post because he has WAY more followers than me, lol):
I understand that change, especially radical change, is frightening, and our discipline is changing radically. I'm assuming some of the vitriol is inspired more by fear than by my 10-point list.
