It's here! The textbook I cowrote with @TKrisR really exists, here in my hands! We're really proud of it: fun, honest, practical, and the first of its kind. Available now from @broadviewpress at broadviewpress.com/product/s…

Anyone know what's up with C&C page numbers looking wacky? E.g. in doi.org/10.1016/j.compcom.20… the page number range is apparently "102790"....? Can anyone with institutional access check and see if that's somehow right? (Also wondering about doi.org/10.1016/j.compcom.20….)

This new publication is one of my favorite ever: an essay reflecting on my archival research into my family history, including the sites I visited with my dad and aunt: journalofmultimodalrhetorics…. Sure, it's long, but there are lots of pictures!

I'm always looking for the best 3-song runs on any album, and dang but the first 3 tracks on Joshua Tree are pretty close to the top ("Where the Streets," "I Still Haven't Found," "With or Without You").

Friends who teach prof/tech writing and related fields: what are your favorite textbooks, websites, and other resources for teaching career readiness? I'm thinking resume/cover letter/LinkedIn/interviewing but also anything else. Bonus if it's geared toward humanities students.

Foodie Twitter. Weird question; I'm searching for BALL-SHAPED foods from many cuisines. Everything from Onigiri rice balls to Puri (the bread sometimes puffs up so much its a ball) to bonbons, boules, anything. What am I not thinking of? Please don't be dirty. I believe in you.

I know this sounds self-serving, but I just rehearsed my #4c24 pres. (Sat, 8am) on family archives (and rivers/island/silence/soil), and it's making me feel all emotional. Can't wait. (Plus, panel includes Steven Hammer, Abigail Lambke, SDC Parker, all creative-critical stuff.)

Tell me if I'm wrong, but it seems that sessions you've bookmarked in the #4c24 eshow events app aren't accessible on a laptop browser, and vice versa. That is, if I find sessions at s1.goeshow.com/ncte/cccc/202…, I can't save them to my app. So it goes.

I'm trying a new #4c24 presentation style this year: a pre-rendered video with music/quotes/images, which I'll speak over live (on family archives). I uploaded both the video and the script to the handout space, so you could recreate it in your own voice, w/ your own timing. #j11

(Yes I just posted the same thing here and on bsky because I no longer have any idea how to do the social medias at the conferencings, it's weird.)

My favorite #4c24 trick: making a grocery store run the night I arrive, buying breakfast and lunch stuff, packing PB&j and an apple every day in my backpack. Takes the stress out of eating/lines.

But at the Davenport, a mini fridge isn't included unless you pay $15 (covers your whole trip). Closest walkable grocery store is just a couple blocks away: maps.app.goo.gl/ZbnSkaGBJgZR…

Rhetoric and writing friends: What's your preferred term these days for what are sometimes called "developmental" or "basic" writers? Do you have a favorite publication on what's gained or lost with certain terms?

For the new 4th edition of Cross-Talk, how about I mail back my 3rd edition with a crisp $5 inside the front cover, and then I get the new one sent to me once NCTE receives it? I'll even pay the shipping when I send my old one in!
