    Made a "Worst Lecture Ever" video with a mix of egregious & subtle errors when it comes to equity & inclusion in the online classroom. Feel free to use as you see fit (with attribution), or you could just invite me to come do the workshop at your uni. 😉

    Love love love this.

    I changed my syllabi to center students we have marginalized. Just got an email from a student saying, “from the moment I reviewed the syllabus and read that we should bring our whole selves, including our oppressions, I knew this was a safe space.” Little changes matter, y’all.

    Given how many justifications have linked playing college football with being "good for America," I'm sure we all will understand it's a simple matter of "patriotism," not politics.

    I finally have a whole draft (~extremely rough around the edges~) of my second year (pre-tenure, continuation) review binder, which is due on Friday. I cannot imagine how difficult those tenure/promotion binders are during a pandemic, so solidarity to those of you working on THAT

    I used to do this shit because it was how I was trained. I don’t anymore. Why? 1) This is just bad pedagogy. 2) My university, rightfully, demands that we infuse our teaching with an ethic of caring for a student as a whole person. 3) I don’t want to be the jerk prof I was

    I feel like every year I’m compelled to do this thread. But here we go again.

    Pro sports in America were once a great American institution. They now focus on “social justice” & dividing our society Like millions of others I refuse to watch MLB, NBA, or the NFL America is a great country and these leagues stand in opposition to the country that made them.

    Let’s not blame the college students for jumping in the river. As an 18-year-old with an under-developed prefrontal cortex, I probably would’ve jumped in, too. Let’s blame the people who could have closed the dam.

    I made a meme! ID: on top, Drake shaking his head and pushing away text that reads “Mrs. Osorio.” On bottom, Drake smiling with approval and a nod, pointing to text that reads “Dr. Osorio”
