This is how all my nightmares begin now

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Tell Them a Story to Teach Them Kindness - Lightspeed Magazine USER: this is a message for Milwaukee Elementary’s curator Jude Towers, I hope this is the right address. anyway thanks for the story you had RIGHTR generate for my 10th graders’ Empathy Week. it was ...

New story from me @lightspeedmagazine.com, maybe the bleakest I've ever written. It's about:

-AI’s effect on teaching literature
-what literature can (& can't) actually teach us
-trans fatherhood
-the road to hell being paved with white saviorism

When universities tout their partnerships with OpenAI, parents, faculty and everyone really should be asking how they intend to account for the increasing evidence that their technology is hurting people, especially young and vulnerable people. How many instances of harm will be enough?

It will also disconnect students from each other—and in a world fractured by various flavors of technofascism, I cannot think of a more disastrous thing (which is likely partly why AI fetishists are pushing for AI in schools and universities)

Well I guess I'm going to be kicked off of Bluesky soon... 🫠

No, I don't think there is any need for you, me or anyone to have access to ChatGPT or CoPilot just to help you plan your kid's birthday party, or find nearby restaurants, or plan your holiday for you, or do your homework for you, or write your book review for you, all to see the world burn.

Ha. I was thinking just yesterday that I'm probably going to need to rewatch season 1 of severance.

Ooh what's the name of this album??? I have a dog and kids and self who might benefit

Happy anniversary to my favorite copy editor comment of all time.

"You use 'long eighteenth century' a lot in this book, but each century is exactly as long as another."

I’d love it if you could add me! Following others from the starter packs now!

Anyway, I’ve been thinking a lot recently about how much I’ve been changed by Mississippi, and how much of a privilege it’s been to teach at USM.

So many of the Civil Rights leaders commemorated in the museum are/were from MS, and so many of the atrocities memorialized took place in MS—including the lynching of Emmett Till and the firebombing of Vernon Dahmer’s house in Hattiesburg, where I now live.

In Greensboro, NC for a family wedding and snuck off to go to the International Civil Rights Museum, the site of the famous 1960 Woolworth lunch counter protest—a week before teaching Anne Moody in my World Literature course.

Wow

Social media can be a cruel place. Amidst all the muck, there are glimmers of hope. I wrote about disabled outrage and a recent hashtag I created on Twitter #PodSaveJon
