@DawnKeetley Professor Keetley, I watched this on a whim with my mom in theaters yesterday. I can't stop thinking about it! Weirdly reminded me more of "Master" than PA. I keep wishing I was in your class viewing this one. Hope you remember me from Intro to Horror :)
🥜 During our last senior seminar class, brave @LUBrownWhite editors @laylavision_ and @BrendanRego1 were the first to volunteer to try a reminds-me-of-home Southern snack, peanuts in Coke! Reactions, in two videos, as the numbers of peanuts increased:
@Steven_Mintz Amazing read. I'm a student and editorial editor for an "elite" college and this really resonated with me. We preach inclusivity and outcry for positive change, yet our newsroom itself reflects the same problems we see in the school at large.
Wonderfully put by @aden_barton. My school paper's editorial board also struggles with the fear of retaliation regarding controversial topics. Really great read.
"If students no longer feel comfortable using college as a training ground to test opinions and form views on controversial subjects, we will be far less prepared than we could be when we inevitably inherit today’s global issues."

Every day I avoid writing an intellectual thirst tweet related to queer scripted media even though it's a school assignment because it takes the best of brain computing power
On Friday, @juliapcontino and I had a photoshoot for our feminist magazine, In My Birthday Suit. It was super successful with over 40 students who showed up and uplifted one another.
A huge thanks and warm hug to @laylavision_ for her amazing photography! Vol. 3 launches Dec. 5
"AI asks us to evaluate what it means to create" - @JeremyLittau
This whole email reflected YESTERDAY'S lesson! I took out my class notes to geek out a bit. What do you think of this!
Just got an email from @Medium addressing the use of ethical shortcomings of using unknown datasets to train generative AI.
"Our writing is helping power popular new technologies, but you haven't been compensated or credited. That doesn't feel right to us."
@Medium The Medium Writer Support newsletter poses two questions:
1. Allowing writers to opt-in to data usage for compensation?
2. Allow AI to summarize answers WITH credit? (in the likely case with Google Bard)
I think I finally figured out why homosexuality doesn't make any sense in All About Eve on about my fifteenth rewatch --
"All About Eve Is The Greatest-Ever Homophobic Gay Movie"

"It was clear she was a style icon. Straight women talked about Shane, fell in love with her, saw her as a “gateway lesbian.”"
19 years later, this is still true. (Shane is the only reason we are still watching)

My best friend and I are watching Showtime's #theLword for the first time. It's not great. But a 2000s time capsule of sapphic exploration is still a novelty. I'll use this thread to chronicle some of my many thoughts.
