there are not enough strong words for the email I would have written.

[Exit Murderer.]

This is my actual objection. Our entire jobs have been transformed overnight into entirely different jobs, of far less social worth, and with zero relationship to the reason most of us got into them in the first place. All we want to do is contribute and AI billionaires are like HAHA NOPE.

it's just so disheartening, and I teach middle school!

I know what my job is, and if the only way to get it done is to eliminate technology altogether, then that's what I'll do. I went back to doing everything on paper this year, and it's been better for me and them.

even worse, it philosophically and materially changes my relationship to my students. now i am a cop rather than a teacher. I have no interest in that role. i have no interest in policing children.

The bitterest pill about AI cheating for me is that AI'ed assignments take much longer to grade than honest assignments because they turn grading into an investigation.

So when the student spends less time, I spend more. Fun!

she is absolutely not.

very aspect of life in this country is designed so that people do not form bonds or relationships with other people, it's wild to watch in action. Never seen divide and conquer applied this rigorously to a domestic population that is not under foreign occupation

pre-annoyed is SO REAL. i saw this meme last week that was a version of this: I hope no one at work pisses me off, unfortunately, I work at the pissing-me-off-factory.

Whenever @fatedmates.net ends an episode saying “God I love Romance” I am always 100% of the time thinking heck yes.

Things are looking very wild out here in the real world so you deserve a deep dive on a book by an author with a big backlist! Today's episode is on Sincerely, Your Inconvenient Wife, a modern day marriage of convenience story from Julia Wolf's The Harder They Fall series.

Fighting Toxic Masculinity, One Spicy Romance Novel at a Time When toxic masculinity is at an all time high, we need examples of what healthy masculinity looks like and the best place to find it is in the pages of sexy romance novels

I wrote about why open door romance is actually really important right now and why it's beyond time for people to stop dismissing all open door romance as smut with no value.
Inspired by an observation on a @fatedmates.net podcast!

i absolutely believe someone can hack the light.

i have the dumbest possible question now, but how can you tell that someone is wearing meta glasses?

I think about this ALL THE TIME.

Also, it would be lovely to have #Unrivaled move to a state that hasn’t been passing the most virulent homophobic and transphobic laws of the past few years. Pretty sure those travel advisories against vacationing in Florida have been in place for at least four years old now.

Say what you want about seances, at least they involved artistry and a sense of awe

Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.

yes! You subscribe to this account. @harpersletter.fyi

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

oh, i absolutely agree. it's such a compelling story about how hard you have to fight to be human.

same, but make it romance novels.

Why We Must Fight to Stop HR 7661 Before It Destroys the Lives of American Children Lately I’ve been calling my House rep and screaming about one zillion things, and maybe you have too. But today I want to talk about one thing in particular you should add to your list: H.R. 7661 i…

How a bill targeting trans literature could ban all LGBTQ+ books from American public schools (and why you should care).

truly an unparalleled reading experience at times like this.

still the saddest/most funny/grim thing I have added to BlueSky is a little widget that identifies someone as a Harper's Signatory.

a thing I think about A LOT is how the world and society of Murderbot is centered around the Corporation Rim, a world ruled by greed, profit, and unchecked capitalism.

No! I’ll check it out!!
