It’s infuriating and so deeply American

This is the spirit! 😉😂

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.

At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

Don't you love it when people prove your point for you?

The right uses oppressive strategies to continually disenfranchise Americans, grasping power with white knuckles, because they know the majority of Americans are not on their side.

‘Opposing the inevitability of AI at universities is possible and necessary’ | Radboud University Since the widespread release of ChatGPT in December of 2022, AI has taken over much of the world by storm – including academia. Most of this happened with very little pushback, despite a myriad of iss...

‘Study after study shows that students want to develop these critical thinking skills, are not lazy, and large numbers of them would be in favor of banning ChatGPT and similar tools in universities’, says @olivia.science www.ru.nl/en/research/...

One, we're never going to shut up about this. Two, this isn't an "I told you so." Here's a simple fact that those making an AI inevitability argument do not want to reckon: it's not too late. Resistance thrives on chaos, and this brand of unmonitored chaos has never met the friction and revolutionary spirit of academic freedom-perhaps the very thing that will cause us to collectively remember that generative AI has no meaningful place in writing pedagogy, no ability to be implemented with integrity, and isn't even passably slay at writing. It is a thieving, hallucinating, biased, data-scraping, ecоdestroying, surveillance bot that will never be able to reconcile the receipts of its unethical origins. Not only are writing faculty allowed to resist, we are now called to do so by our own morals and steadfast, unabashedly idealistic belief in creative craft. Make mine a pour over.

I genuinely love when my students receive some of my feedback and respond like, "Wow, that's a really good idea, actually!"

Why, thank you. It's almost like I've dedicated my adult life to learning, writing, thinking, and creating work about this subject.

It was not until someone mentioned Labyrinth that I realized Jennifer Connelly was the star of Phenomena and not Jennifer Coolidge.

The dream.

If you are a teacher, allow the revision, offer the extension, forgive that absence. A few may take advantage of your humanity, but most are just grateful that you recognize theirs.

They also carry so much on their shoulders and in their hearts.

I love my students - they are strong, smart, funny, and kind.

OH MY GOD

🤬

Rereading Camus as I write my Theatre of the Absurd lecture - not sure how my students are going to connect with these concepts...🫠

Oh, and Granny Smiths are the superior apple - like a sharp cheese, I like it when my food bites back

And know you’ve got a whole mess of us caring about you 💞

YES

Why are private institutions so quick to sellout?

its ok.
i know.
you would rather pretend.
but i have been in the pretend business a long time,
and it used to be abt the truth.

I would have to talk to my student about ai and academic integrity if they submitted this because it is some pretentious word salad.

Congress Passes Blank Bill For Trump To Write Whatever Law He Wants WASHINGTON—After weeks of eliminating what many lawmakers called “frivolous” and “unnecessary” provisions, Congress reportedly passed a blank bill Thursday in which President Donald Trump can simply write whatever law he wants.  “Today we are sending to the president’s desk 200 completely clean sheets of paper that are hereby codified such that anything he chooses to […]

Very much looking forward to @lindaholmes.bsky.social performing her annual gentle roast of the @screendrafts.bsky.social rules.

It is literally impossible to send emails from little internet.

One of my professors at WashU challenged me to limit myself to one semicolon per paragraph; it was painful.
