Why am I anonymous? Because you should never meet your heroes.

Most burned-out, tired faculty were once enthusiastic idealists who didn’t understand why no one else worked as hard as they did…

No, it’s still not graded… But, I did find some new recipes to try today during office hours.

And now for one of my all-time favorite questions… At what point do I become “the old breed”?

The more you let your colleagues down… The less it stings. You’re not an imposter anymore whenever they finally know the truth.

The quicker that you respond… The quicker that you are expected to respond.

How ever much of yourself that you plan to give to the job… The job will always want more.

A perfect syllabus is like a perfect dissertation. It doesn’t exist and nobody reads it unless they are paid to do it. #teachersoftwitter

Always set your timed announcements for weird times or times during your office hours so it looks like you’re working more than you are

“In my classes, we call it the ‘Skill-abus’ because it teaches us the skills we need to succeed….” Some profs just try waaaaaaaay too hard… #iykyk

As you lineup your schedule for the new semester, be sure to add a few phony assignments that you can cancel in early November and look like a hero

No, I haven’t graded it yet… and I move yours to the bottom of the pile whenever you ask about it… just out of petty spite.

I don’t think that I want to share many ideas with colleagues anymore… I instead think I’ll just go home and watch the sun rise and set in silence.

Yeah, I saw their email in my inbox… but I didn’t open it and don’t feel like hearing anything that they have to say.

I need more income… I wonder if I could get away with renting my office out on AirBnB…

Always fun when you senior colleague says that, though they’re retiring and quality for Social Security, they still “love to throw em down and get plenty of action in the bedroom”

👀 Sneak a peek at the deepest & sharpest infrared image of the early universe ever taken — all in a day’s work for the Webb telescope. (Literally, capturing it took less than a day!) This is Webb’s first image released as we begin to #UnfoldTheUniverse: nasa.gov/webbfirstimages/
The background of space is black. Thousands of galaxies appear all across the view. Their shapes and colors vary. Some are various shades of orange, others are white. Most stars appear blue, and are sometimes as large as more distant galaxies that appear next to them. A very bright star is just above and left of center. It has eight bright blue, long diffraction spikes. Between 4 o’clock and 6 o’clock in its spikes are several very bright galaxies. A group of three are in the middle, and two are closer to 4 o’clock. These galaxies are part of the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, and they are warping the appearances of galaxies seen around them. Long orange arcs appear at left and right toward the center.

No, I didn’t get the Summer One final exams graded yet but I did teach myself the intro to “Still Dre” on a dobro.

If you cannot get the proctoring software to work today… what makes you think an extension will magically enable you to make it work tomorrow?
