It takes a sex trafficker to catch a sex trafficker. That's why I'm supporting Matt Gaetz for Attorney General.

i don't think all academics are driven by trauma. but academia attracts ppl who experienced school as a central space of validation, maybe the only place they were ever praised/"seen." also, academic accomplishments are wielded to counter parental neglect & societal debasement.

This demand for moral clarity/purity in fiction (or perhaps art more broadly) and a belief that anything that strays from that or requires a lot of grey is tacitly supporting Something Bad/Regressive Politics
As a leftist, is there anything you’ve seen that can be considered woke that you actually think is bad?

I think I need to include a list of states where teaching the course would be illegal in next semester's syllabi.

Today I woke up to an email from a mom asking me to take down the beautiful @HuffPost essay she wrote about her trans kid because she's now terrified about their safety It breaks my heart but I don't blame her This is our reality now And this is why we have to keep fighting

I spent yesterday putting packets of poems together for my women's lit course next semester, which I first taught in this department in 1994. The work continues.
WGSS was a field born from struggle. Today, tomorrow, and in the days to come, we strive to honor and build upon that legacy. We welcome and hold space for & with you. We stand together in our shared commitments to analyze relationships of power & challenge forms of oppression.

Jason Kelce grabbed and threw someone’s phone to the ground after his brother Travis was called a homophobic slur for dating Taylor Swift. In another angle of the incident, Jason appears to say the word back, asking, “Who’s the f- - - - - now?” trib.al/YEVZBQp

My interview with @EmilyVanDuyne about her revolutionary book on Plath is up at @veryeager! It encapsulates and solidifies so much about Plath that seemed true but lacked evidence until Emily worked through the massive amount of new archival materials. Thanks, Emily, for so much!

Thinking a lot about a coworker who didn’t tell anyone he was retiring and just left at the end of his last day and never came back.

And if students don't upload it but create their own prompt from it, possibly in the cognitive verifier or flipped interaction patterns? Or what if they upload the rubric and not the prompt? This is not the gotcha people want.

Many faculty say excellent grammar alerts them to possible AI use. I never know what to do with that.
If a student accepts minor style and grammar suggestions, say from Grammarly, is their writing more likely to be wrongly flagged as AI generated? I'm not aware of studies on this. But it seems obvious that AI detectors would be more likely to wrongly flag student writing as AI if it has more conventional grammar and style. AI detection looks at how closely the text fits probabilistic patterns. Grammar suggestions are also based on how well text fits expected patterns. So yes, students who put a lot of time and effort into honing their sentences probably are at greater risk of being falsely accused of using AI. One more reason not to use AI detectors.
