Reading Parable of the Talents now by Octavia E Butler. Found this passage relevant to our times. Actually this entire book is relevant to our dystopian reality. #booksky #booktok

I gotta say I find a lot of AI discourse around higher ed very confusing. "if ChatGPT can write your essays is college even worth it?" did people think math teachers were assigning problem sets because *they* couldn't figure out the answers?

Sorry we stole your people!

The Death of the Student Essay—and the Future of Cognition One professor's reflections on the end of an era, as AI tools such as ChatGPT have murdered the student essay (RIP). Here's why that threatens the future of human cognition—and how to save ourselves.

This sums up my horror at the use of AI by students. The act of writing is how you learn.

Also students - you want to be graded based only on high stakes in person tests and presentations? You want that anxiety? Thats what using AI to write papers will get you.

Since George Floyd’s Murder, Police Killings Keep Rising, Not Falling

George Floyd was murdered on this day five years ago.

Despite massive protests over racial injustice, police killings are sadly on the rise.

Instead of pouring more funds into our brutal system of policing, let's invest in communities. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/24/u...

@ChuckWendig honestly do you blame it New research finds Jupiter is flinging asteroids at Earth [pic of jupiter]

I appreciate all you’ve done, and I’m glad you’re our governor, but real talk - Washington NEEDS a more progressive tax system, and cops don’t need more money.

Seattle May Day rally & march!

My 4 year old came up with a sign idea of his very own and was so so proud to show it to everyone at the rally.

Today I discovered #bloomscrolling. I adore it!

It’s always good to be prepared.

If anyone on Bluesky isn’t following Frog and Toad Bot, you absolutely should be. It’s so good.

Executive orders are tweets on stationery, folks!

Sign game strong today 🔥

Or… you know… whoever’s downfall needs bringing about… 🤔

There aren’t words to describe how horrifying this is.

Trump is arresting and disappearing students with legal status just because of their political views and speech.

These are the actions of a dictator. Justice for Rumeysa NOW.

He’s not a king. His orders don’t mean shit. Don’t comply in advance.

Mothering During The Fall of Democracy The past few months have been relentless haven’t they?

I wish I had written down more quotes!

I’m paraphrasing, but a common theme throughout the book is “I store my wealth in the belly of my neighbor”

The student loan repayment t system was ALREADY broken. Now it’s even worse. 😞
