such an insightful & thoughtful interview of Kim Hyesoon by @dieuwertjem.bsky.social in @parool.nl today! She’s here this week in Utrecht, The Hague & Amsterdam.

I am now officially tired of going to academic symposia and seeing an “artistic research” project presented by someone with a PhD and thinking “This is a very bad first year art school assignment but I need to applaud this colleague for being courageous and original….”

It is called a “practice” for a reason. I often tell students that it’s not a publication or presentation that makes you, finally, a real writer but that you know you‘ll try and fail many times over but you keep doing it anyway.

Academics who don‘t do creative writing or have an art practice themselves, thinking they can suddenly teach it, or do it and it’s immediately worthy of presenting or publishing publicly as “artistic research“… a new level of (excruciating, trust me) hubris.

Posting my dog because the news is too unhinged right now. I actually watched Interstellar as a relaxing distraction.

Happy 2026! Here is my cold, old dog in the new year’s snow. He’s still standing, and so are we. 🐶❄️💫

Lovely to have a poem (an ode to the dandelion!) in the new issue of wonderful online children’s poetry magazine Tyger Tyger:

After reading The Raven a high school classmate asked if poetry existed before Edgar Allen Poe, and what did they call it?

Thank you!!!

Een hoger onderwijsstaking die het beleid geen pijn doet is cosplay – Jacobin Vorige week was er een staking in het hoger onderwijs. 7000 academici en studenten trokken naar Amsterdam, maar niemand leek echt acht te slaan op de staking. Want hoewel de universiteiten de staking ...

Wrote about the Dutch higher education crisis and why a strike without suspending exams or classes is just cosplay. @jacobinnl.bsky.social

a big part of the issue surrounding the use of chatgpt/LLMs in academic research comes down to process vs. product. a lot of us know that the process of doing research matters because that's where intellectual work is done; but some "academics" and lots of techies only care about a fast product

Jane Austen used 'however' at the beginning of a sentence, and so can you.

“Hier komt iemand, al dan niet in vertaling, de Nederlandse poëzie in wandelen en gooit alles overhoop met grote energie, simpelweg door te laten zien hoe groot de wereld is, en dat dit allemaal toch ook in een bundel past.” 💞

Read this as an American woman and then go break something.

Am I rude or patient for being told non-stop I don’t deserve to be alive by my Gen AI loving boss? Am I rude or am I remarkably patient for someone being told non-stop that I don’t deserve to be alive? (On the Gen AI clankers who would be happy to see us dead) Imagine how well you would maintain …

This from @stopgenai.com is an arresting klaxon on the true dangers posed by GenAI
