I just subscribed to Grading for Growth, by Robert Talbert gradingforgrowth.com/?r=33u4t4&utm_…. Looking forward to getting more ideas on how to refine my non-grading approach!

On my way to the annual conference of ACLA . It's been such a long time, but I fondly remember their great panel format. Great to return. We're doing a panel on alternative cosmologies of time! Come say hi!

While the toy brand kills its plans for an oil-free plastic alternative, it’s still pumping out billions of non-biodegradable bricks a year. Can Lego ever be sustainable? (From 2023) wired.trib.al/PwZOhAE

Late at night, we finished Z-Man Games Matt Leacock's Pandemic Legacy Season 0. We saved the world, achieving all objectives. But we were unable to stop an even greater threat to humanity purring in the background.

My forthcoming book, American Koan, is now available for pre-order on Amazon (a.co/d/evndv9k) and the UVa Press website (upress.virginia.edu/title/10020/!

I love Sync.com . It's encrypted, easy to use and affordable. Currently, it's my fave cloud service.

Proud, if small, moment of the day: added American Koan to my Zotero library :) UVA Press

I'm really loving the new Zotero . Thanks so much to the developers. And thank you Emiliano Heyns for the quick Betterbibtex compatibility!

Honored to be Featured Faculty on DKU's Center for the Study of Contemporary China's website. Read on for my thoughts on Zen, autobiography, and Buddhism in space! dukekunshan.edu.cn/cscc/featured-…

My #Buddhism book has arrived! And just in time for Nashville's Vietnamese celebration of the ghost festival. It's so cool and surreal to be finally holding this in my hands. (+ obligatory cat, she likes being included)

I've noticed 5 instances of self-harm (arm scars) on young people in the last 6 months. This video is about the difference between self-harm & the Buddhist teaching of no self. It's also a video about growing up, which is a lifelong practice. youtu.be/4gNZwiBuhjU

For a while, I was obsessed with getting advice from productive writers. Now that my book's coming out, I feel confident enough to share some of the wisdom I've gained. benvanovermeire.wordpress.com/2024/09/27/how…

Big Oil and their mouthpiece, Fox News, would rather us burn fossil fuels until entire cities get wiped out than have us confront the climate crisis. They do not give a damn about people losing everything. That’s why we must mass organize like our lives depend on it. It does.

One of the great pleasures of my current research: reading through articles describing the features of Belter language, a creole tongue spoken by people living in outer space in #theexpanse

Finally holding a copy of my first book! Thanks UVA Press for sending it to me! If you're interested in #Zen and #Literature, order a copy! upress.virginia.edu/title/10020/
