7.5 work days before the winter break (sorely needed), optimistically not counting the weekend. 2 resubmissions are basically done and will get sent this week, 1 has already been postponed til next year (*sigh*). 1 paper to finish (🐝 ), and 5+1 reviews if I don't want to take them into the break (which I don't). Plus teaching, admin, meetings as per usual. #todo #academia #accountability Thank goodness the kids are big and very accommodating/self-reliant.

So #academia is basically pouring your very life into your work so you all your colleagues can throw shit at it and deny you tenure? Or even the chance to try for tenure?
No, thank you.

I taught a session this morning in a longer online leadership course for a volunteer organization I am part of.
I used a modified "flipped learning" plan in which, before coming to class, the students watched a video and read some focused 1-2 page source documents.
That allowed the class meeting to be a rich discussion of those sources. Narry a PPT slide to be found while we were live.
I was on camera the whole time we were live, and for much of the advance video. I got quite a few thumbs up at the end of the class meeting. 🙂 👨🏫 🖥️

"To address questions about the real appearance of St Anthony, we applied body mass estimation equations to the osteometric measurements taken in 1981, during the public recognition of the Saint’s skeletal remains. Both the biomechanical and the morphometric approach were employed to solve some intrinsic limitations in the equations for body mass estimation from skeletal remains. The estimated body mass was used to assess the physique of the Saint with the body mass index."

'The task of countering colorblindness is thus not merely to see race again, but to reenvision how disciplinary tools, convention and knowledge-producing practices that erase the social dynamics that produce race can be critically engaged and selectively repurposed toward emancipatory ends.'

This quote from the (just resigned) chair of Penn’s BOT captures the real failure of (former) president Liz Magill at the House hearing:

So, I (@arielkroon ) wrote a blog post based a little bit around some of my thesis research, and mostly around my opinions about things. It's called "Fantasy, feminism, and philosophy," and it makes me nervous to put it out there, mostly because - as a gender studies degree holder - I have experienced first-hand the negative backlash when I apply the "f" word to genre criticism.
That said, if I hate a thing, I don't tend to talk about it. I don't wanna waste my energy on something terrible. And so I am incredibly critical of the stories that I absolutely love, because I'm a big ol' nerd academic and it fills my heart with joy to find theories that apply to character, plot, and worldview.
Ahem. I'm digressing. Fantasy is so important! You could argue from a genre standpoint that solarpunk is a type of science fantasy. And that's why it's so important to investigate it. My utopia is necessarily gonna be different than yours, because I'm mired in my own biases and can't see outside of my own umwelt without help.
I'm soapboxing again, whoops. Go read the post!

I just finished my hour-long interview with Oxford University concerning their study of Mastodon and decentralized social media.
They were especially interested in what we’ve done here at Veganism Social, as we have our own fork with custom features that address common complaints such as content discoverability.
Veganism Social’s use case was exemplary of the benefits of decentralizion. Our moderation is uniquely anti-speciesist, and the community has a clear purpose beyond ‘general’.
My analyses of the technological and sociological benefits of decentralization are extensive. I (currently) have a deep understanding of Mastodon’s code-base, and how to use it. I also worked as a software developer for centralized social media, and now moderate a subreddit with 100k members.
I could not possibly exhaust myself of exhilarating insights to share.
Surely, the Oxford study will broaden awareness of how decentralized social media will benefit society.
Next time my wife asks me to stop info-dumping, I’ll banter that Oxford might think it’s worth listening to. 🤭
They’re sending me an Amazon gift card as compensation, and of course I’m spending it all on candy.

I had a student pass her viva a few months ago, and her external examiner did that really gross thing where he said, 'You need to update your references to cite me.'
Except the citation he wants her to include wasn't published when she submitted her thesis.
The guy's a full professor. He does not need extra citations from a PhD student's thesis! No one reads theses anyway besides the examiners. She'll cite you when she publishes, dude, geez, get over yourself.

“[…] Among those practicing self-censorship since the Israel-Hamas war began, 81 percent said they were withholding criticism of Israel, compared with 11 percent withholding criticism of the Palestinians. Concerns about offending students and pressure from external advocacy groups were cited as the top reasons.

"We analyze the average sonority of basic words of nearly three-quarters of the world’s languages, and confirm a positive correlation between sonority and local temperature.

So is this the deal with the new @eLife system:
1- you send your preprint
2- it is reviewed (if they so choose)
3- you eventually upload a final “version of record”
OR
4- you send the reviewed preprint (+reviews) to another journal for publication
Has anyone tried that step 4? Do the “other journals” accept to publish something that’s already been reviewed by eLife?
Of course, you could do 3 instead but does having an eLife paper under the new system “count” for your CV?
Edit 1: here’s an explanation of the new eLife process: https://elifesciences.org/peer-review-process
Edit 2: clarified the link between step 3 and 4 (either/or, not both)
