“The appeal to archaic models to explain contemporary changes is a morbid symptom of an age in which visions of a better future have been replaced with oppressive fears of backsliding” Well articulated explanation of the ideological work done by referring to our present situation as “neufeudalist.”

One suggestion for professors concerned about AI usage aside from in-class, handwritten writing assignments is that you work with your colleagues to propose curricular changes. A good start would be bringing back required library and research skills courses as a cornerstone of your major reqs

Starting to really build my summer course on #Poetry & #Formalisms (a lit & theory seminar, not creative writing) & looking for some ideas from others. Would anyone be willing to share their syllabus for an upper-level/grad course on Poetry?

Today is the feast of the mid-9c. Mercian martyr Wigstan (Wystan), patron saint of the church at Repton, which is a place very dear to me. (I may or may not be writing a novel based on Repton.) For manuscript evidence of Wigstan, let's look at @parkerlibcccc.bsky.social MS 201, p149. 🧵 #medievalsky

Fuck AI. I don't care if you have any sort of excuse. Generative AI is built on an ethos of theft and harm. For art. For the world. For individual people. I had no say in this. I didnt give consent. I had my likeness and body taken and turned into some slug's wretched vision of a lie with my face.

I’ve been thinking a lot about whether the AI discourse is a moral panic and the conclusion I’ve reached is that most moral panics are stupid (newspapers) and/or bigoted (dance music) but a handful are 100% justifiable.
