Visiting Boystown and Brooklyn over the summer was a mistake because I've been shown what life without straight people looks like (rather, reminded), and it's pure bliss and heaven.

This so-called merger won't be complete until next year, and I'm already getting passive-aggressive emails from white administrators.

My single, "My department is being folded into Communication Studies without consulting faculty," is dropping.

I don’t want to grade; I want to go down, down, down by the riverrrrrr 🥲

(I know this because, the last two times I've taught this class, I've found that one student who can't be bothered to check the citation, and suddenly there's something who doesn't exist saying something that was never mentioned.")

Another benefit of teaching my writing theory class using the four Octalogs of our field is that, because each text has eight speakers and additional commentators, AI models get VERY confused when trying to cite from them—and I can tell when a student has used AI to generate the citation.

it's wild how the positive use cases are like "save 5 minutes reading a long doc" and "write a generic email faster" and the negative use cases are "get encouraged to dive deeper in psychosis, misogyny, or suicidal thoughts" and we're still on the fence about overall value

FKA Twigs, Eartheater, and Atlanta for my sabbatical 😍

GenAI is a fascist product. Sorry you don’t have the moral fortitude to do your own thinking, but fascists love that

I've written 10 letters of recommendation for students just in the last academic year. 🫨

We are pleased to inform you that, to course correct for an over-abundance of gay guys, we're focusing solely on bisexual white women.

Girl, if there's one thing white queer scholars will do it's cite an ontological proposition specific to a non-white experience and void the contextual elements to say, "Well, actually, ALL queers."

I can't wait til my job gets less busy so I can do my job 🥰

Working on a conference paper draft, and I had to dive into Notion for something I wrote in grad school. My goodness—the whole thing is just AI this and AI that. Gross.

THIS IS AN ENGLISH OR COMMUNICATIONS DEGREE! JUST DO THOSE INSTEAD JESUS IN HEAVEN

If I see one more person say, “We have to teach our students how to use AI because they’ll need those *skills* when they get a job.” Girl. There’s not going to be jobs for the students.

Man, I'm sorry, but reading all these AI generated essays from students, it just sucks all the joy out of everything. It's exhausting, makes you into a weird paranoid cop, grinds you down, wastes your time, makes you feel like shit about everything.

Fuck this shit technology and all its enablers.

AI is not, as techno-libertarians would like you to believe, an act of God to which society must adapt. It’s an experiment a very small band of very rich people decided to work upon the rest of us. And they have their reasons. Let’s not pretend otherwise.

Right! And then we just send our chat bots to the meeting for us to talk about the survey results 🙃

kept on asking my colleagues when hearing "AI literacy" being repeated all the time: literacy of what?

the whole point of ChatGPT is that you DON'T READ

(I‘m not a fan of clunky word processors, and as much as I like the utility of Scrivener, it has SO many buttons and whatnot 😵‍💫)

To my surprise, I impressed a data science major who minors in my department by telling them I write everything in Markdown and know it by heart at this point. 🤓
