@rebeccalehmann I’m at a loss. And when other departments are fine with AI—“It’s so efficient!!!”—our jobs are all the more difficult. I haven’t seen help/guidance coming either.

@rebeccalehmann My wife has gone analog, and it's a slog. Writing in journals in class, take 50 notebooks home to grade. But they still have to turn the papers in online, per uni policy. (#AssessmentMatters). So, still some questionable papers. Sigh.

@danmartin_7 I was halfway through a summer course when these changes were implemented. I was stunned; my students were confused. Ridiculous.

Derrida writes that “surviving is another word for mourning,” and I can’t stop thinking about this w/r/t the dismantling of the liberal arts.

The end of liberal arts curricula — and the rise of curricula that aspires to nothing beyond a paycheck — is the death of hope.

Thanks to the wonderful Thea @GravityThing for publishing this #prosepoem from my #hyperemesis manuscript. If you’re looking for people who take great care of your work and publish awesome issues, this is the place for your writing.

And I was quietly hooting’-and-hollerin’ the whole time so everyone else in the house could stay asleep… you know, at least around the existential dread that exists for every Cleveland sports fan who knows nothing’s over til it’s over, usually. (See Dwayne Rudd game.)
