Hello, hello! My prize-winning flash in which I reflect upon AI dropped a few days ago, amidst AWP happenings. Thanks to @FracturedLit and Gwen Kirby for plucking this out! CW:  suicide, disordered eating https://t.co/EVaT4czUk8

The idea that you shouldn’t have to defend your academic work is one that aligns with conservatism, by the way, and the notion that everyone’s opinions are equally valid, while facts - as well as the ability to prove they are facts - are a waste of time.

Very strange that it seems some people see citations as essentially flavour text to puff up your credibility and not a mechanism to provide crucial context and foundational information which your work relies on

AI in academia discourse is completely warped by how only professors platformed to write about it are tenured at elite schools. What works in a 12-person Princeton class has basically no relationship to an average college's 40 person online class taught by an underpaid adjunct...

I know there are some people who said the theme is too basic, but no, when the arts are under threat this is exactly the kind of fashion history education we need right now. And the museum is pay what you wish for anyone in New York State. You can literally get in with $1.

Side effect of the literacy crisis is people not recognizing literary devices anymore

Today is the Met Gala. Here are some things to keep in mind while engaging in Met Gala discourse:

— The Met Gala is a fundraising event that supports the Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Institute.

— The Costume Institute preserves historical garments, curates public exhibitions, and educates people on how clothing reflects and shapes culture.

— In a political climate when public arts funding is being limited or contested, private fundraising efforts like this are even more important.

— Many organizations hold galas to raise money for their missions. This includes organizations focused on the arts, LGBTQ+ rights, environmental justice, and medical research. The Met is not the only institution that holds galas.

— The Met Gala raises money through ticket sales. Major fashion houses such as Gucci often purchase entire tables and invite celebrities to attend the event in their designs. For brands, this functions as a form of marketing, similar to advertising or runway shows. But here, that spending also helps fund a public cultural institution.

— Members of the public can later visit the museum and see exhibitions that contextualize fashion as part of cultural history. And their tickets are relatively affordable because they have been subsidized by these fundraisers.

— Not all clothing is meant to be practical or "presentable" by conventional standards. Some garments are made as artistic statements. Even if you wouldn’t wear something to the office, you can still appreciate the creativity and technical craft behind it.

— Events like this provide work for countless tailors, embroiderers, textile specialists, and artisans. These people often work on other types of cultural productions, such as the costuming for films, theatre, and TV shows. The Met Gala helps sustain these craft industries and thus keeps the production quality high for the areas of culture you care about.

— Traditional black tie is never wrong for a gala. In fact, this is how men traditionally dressed for the Met Gala for much of this event's history. Not everyone has the personality to pull off an avant-garde outfit, so they shouldn't be forced into one.

People who think they’re above romcoms are writing romcoms and that’s the problem.

So proud to have worked on this with @dawidmobolaji! I learned a lot! @splitlipthemag

There's been no era of criticism that's been kinder and gentler to movies than this current one. Stans' heads would explode if they read reviews from the 1970s. Heck, maybe anything pre-2010 too.

[Anna Cabe @annablabs]

I do!

hey so the male gaze is about how film and other visual media cultures assume their average audience member is a straight man and therefore frame female characters as sex objects or maternal figures with little in between it’s not about what kind of pretty someone is

[兔兒神 @chenchenwrites]

literacy is more than reading comprehension; it is also understanding how another person (the author) is inviting you (perhaps challenging you) to imagine another experience, perspective, life.
