Begin your adventure in Latin verbs with the third conjugation, practicing the present tense indicative of ago (I do). Learn the four principal parts of ago-the key words that allow you to conjugate any form-as well as the imperative endings that permit you to issue commands.

It’s time to socially distance real journalism from Trump
In the interest of protecting the nation’s health, it is time to socially distance ourselves from the crazy things that President Trump keeps saying.
To address our unprecedented global and immediate need for access to reading and research materials, as of today, March 24, 2020, the Internet Archive will suspend waitlists for the 1.4 million (and growing) books in our lending library by creating a National Emergency Library to serve the nation’s displaced learners. This suspension will run through June 30, 2020, or the end of the US national emergency, whichever is later.

My thesis defense is in a couple weeks. I’ll be defending by video from home! I think the math is really interesting, and I'm looking forward to sharing my dissertation on the arXiv soon after.

I was just on a Zoom call that ended automagically after 40 minutes because the organizer was on a free tier. This is the single greatest advance to meeting productivity that I’ve ever seen. Would pay extra for this feature.

Hey presenters,
Here is some guidance for the day: The accessibility guidance is important, but consider this to be guidance and not rules
- Try to put the hashtag #PressEdConf20 into every tweet. The uppercase is important for people using screen readers.
- If you use video or images, consider using image descriptions. Feel free to add additional tweets (so more than 15) to add image and video descriptions.
- Introduce yourself if you want to in the first tweet
- Put a number at the beginning of each tweet so you people reading the tweets can follow the thread. Feel free not to if you run out of space.
- If you’d like to, thread the tweets, by replying to the last tweet you posted – see guidance here
- Aim for about one tweet a minute. If you want to, feel free to schedule your tweets. We think scheduling and threading isn’t possible. You’re welcome to choose one or the other. If you have 15 tweets, perhaps tweet faster than one a minute to leave room for questions.
- When you’ve tweeted your session, add another tweet to invite questions
- Remember to leave a a little time for questions
- Maybe add your tweets to a moment so it’s a single resource for people to share. We do this anyways, but it might be handy for you to have your own
- Have fun
