Sometimes I miss being on Twitter and connecting with folks. I also feel like there are developments since I tweeted regularly that bear mentioning so I can reference them if/when I tweet more. I also hate drawing attention to myself. So let's just say I've been a bit busy.......
I also feel compelled to provide a life/parenting update to go along with this, and in exchange for your help: I am more tired than I think I've ever been.
Hey folks! We're starting to have some conversations on my campus about AI & writing; does anyone have resources coming from a specifically rhet/comp perspective for me to peruse and/or build on to facilitate that discussion? My initial searches didn't yield as much as I'd hoped.
@LoganPMiddleton Finishing a PhD in the humanities be like: "hours of phrases I've memorized, thousands of lines on the page. All of my notes in a desolate pile, I haven't touched in an age."
@ApoclpseStudent I was actually listening to the @callousdaoboys; I have to try to maintain something resembling an edge somehow. Even if I'm a suburban sellout now.
@donniejsackey On the flipside, if you believed all of those conspiracies, you'd probably be none the wiser as to how shudder-worthy your thought process was.
I literally never thought I'd ever be able to buy a house, so it's been surreal. I was there during the inspection and eventually I just wandered around in the back yard thinking "holy shit, this is about to be OUR house." I would have killed to grow up in a place like this.
Had the house inspected today and everything looked excellent; barring any bizarre administrative surprises we should be moving in within the next 2 weeks!
@donniejsackey As wild as all of it is, I almost kind of envy folks who don't see the world as a place where the most boring and crappy explanation is pretty much always the real one.
Now that we've gotten a POOL revival, I'll start hoping for POOL and Pool Kids to merge into my dream posthardcore band with a combo of emo, math rock, and clean/screamed vocals for even just a single EP.
Pool Kids are the latest guest on the BrooklynVegan podcast! Listen to them reflect on their breakout year, new EP, backstory, and much more: https://t.co/JyuxLV3ctM
I have to make like 20 phone calls tomorrow so I'll be fighting all of my lifelong millennial instincts in order to get a house AND talk to humans on the phone. Pray for me.
I am fucking speedrunning adulthood this year after spending so much of it as a dirt-poor grad student and getting screwed by my previous institution in 2020.
