Whether LLMs can (or cannot) write well, better or worse than students, is irrelevant. The purpose of writing an essay is not the essay. The essay is how you pursue the goal of learning how to write, learning being the purpose. If you want to learn how to write you must write.

Cannot stop thinking of this case. The horror of it has been rattling around my brain, not just what her husband did to her, but how so many men were complicit in the abuse. How are we not in the streets in uproar, why aren’t more men talking about this bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd9d…
endless examples to add to my paper on reductive feminism and cringe coming this Thursday at TaPRA x

My view is that if you choose to use the moments after a spate of anti-immigrant riots and racist pogroms to crackdown on migrants and asylum-seekers - then you are fuelling the fire that the far-right is burning.

I am in complete agreement with @JonAshworth
Politicians who have fanned the flames of anti migrant hate, racism, Islamophobia should definitely be held to account.
Nigel Farage, Braverman, Patel, Sunak, too many Tories too name
and this lot too 👇🏾

I've said it before and I'll say it again:
The enemy of the working class travels by private jet, not migrant dinghy.

I saw 'Oranges and Stones' last night and would highly recommend folks go and see it - it's on until Saturday. A deeply affecting piece of work, and the conversation after was both hopeful and rageful: tickettailor.com/events/thea…

i started watching sex and the city for the first time on the flight home from Manila (which is amazing), but my jaw was on the floor at the end of ep 3 where Carrie compares single/married people to the conflict in Northern Ireland...I fear this is just the start 😭
this was so so clear during canvassing as well. I'm so relieved that the communities who most need an MP like Corbyn still have him!
