Writer and adjunct instructor in English. Unsure how this platform works.

@Canvas_by_Inst could you fix whatever bug is making it impossible to use your platform on Firefox? Being forced to completely change my workflow is really making it harder to get through all this grading I've got to get done.

We moved recently and -- like any experience -- this reveals things to us.

@mcmansionhell English adjunct from mid-America here. It's pretty dire, but some of my students still show a love for the written word. It's less than it was, but it's still there. I think the big thing is encouraging them to do their own reading and being excited when they finish something.

Missouri continues to be among the worst of states:

Is it just me, or should elected officials not be allowed to just leave their inbox full? Seems like representative democracy should require that they actually, you know, represent people.

Okay, I'm trying to call my governor's office and complain about the fact that Missouri is scheduled to execute a man after the state admitted that the trial was flubbed (DNA evidence wasn't admitted, race was used in the jury selection process), and the voicemail is full.

[Cameron Summers (he/him) @CameronSummers]

The big thing here is that Missouri (pronounced roughly like "misery" for those who don't understand how the letter "i" works) loves to execute people after admitting they shouldn't be on death row, but something I'm noting is that the inbox thing happens a lot.

I've been asked to run 5E by my brother, for him and his nephew. I love my family but don't care for that game. Here's a short essay about a bunch of mechanics I'm going to steal from other games, along with how and why they should be used: https://t.co/jG9mDeCOUj

A slate of reviews for the obligatory back-to-school period.

[Cameron Summers (he/him) @CameronSummers]

Contained in here are a number of film reviews -- obviously "Late Night with the Devil", but also "History of the Occult", "My Best Friend's Exorcism" and "Longlegs". I don't tend to do too many film reviews, but I thought these would be interesting to treat together.

[Cameron Summers (he/him) @CameronSummers]

A number of interesting movies have come out in the past few years, and I think they're all of a piece with one another -- something I'm coming to call "satanwave": https://t.co/Bk9Wo9GLMd

I may or may not have figured out the start of an anti-AI writing strategy in my composition class.

A slate of book reviews on this cooler and more comfortable day, including classics (the Hunchback of Notre Dame), nonfiction (Robert Evans[@Iwriteok]'s A Brief History of Vice) and more contemporary fiction. https://t.co/7ba8r7F5aX

I talk about politics too much, and I wish I could stop: https://t.co/ZZoMcOFpWQ

Love to come home briefly on my lunch break to find almost as much rain inside my apartment as outside. Kind of messed up how much shit you have to deal with to afford rent in Kansas City. I thought the whole point of this place was that you can afford it.

A continuation of my line of thinking from last week, as I try to hammer out a usable LLM/AI policy for my comp class -- fundamentally, it seems notable that something that CAN be automated is effectively ALREADY automated, and so I need an alternative:
