The promise of AI efficiency should always be followed up with “efficient for whom?” Considering that illustrators are more efficient than ever and yet wages have not increased in 80 years.

i may not be a security threat to the nation but i Could be a security threat to your kneecaps

I would be remiss to not note that Sinophobic rhetoric goes down so easily because of the longstanding orientalism that paints us all as collectivist drones, that we move through life with our supreme leader’s voice in our heads, ready to do his bidding at moment’s notice.

remember that soulmate bond fic about ransom and marta from knives out from like six years ago. i still just think about it sometimes. i reread it last night 😮‍💨

saw a video about mindful consumption the other day where the OP said in her effort to be more creative, she tries to produce three things for every one thing she consumes, or something like that. and i have to say this does not feel like the way lol

i make it a point to discuss my financial situation frankly whenever possible, especially if prospective or junior students ask for advice. academia is not more enlightened than any other workplace, and anyone coming in deserves to know all the risks, rewards, and contextual factors.

it’s very unbecoming to me when (usually white) academics obscure their class privilege. it’s OK your grandma paid your tuition, or your father fronted you the cost of a conference, or your spouse is in big law & makes up for low starting salary. transparency leads to change.

I wouldn’t have financially survived my PhD program or first year at William & Mary (as my spouse had to quit his job for me to take the offer) without my parent’s help. so, in my mind, that means wealthy parents are necessary to make it in academia, & that’s … not good.

Editor creates an AI executive who is "an expert at building and scaling digital media companies." Decides within minutes that the AI is "one of the most knowledgeable and energetic colleagues" he's ever had. Asks the AI to create a headshot of itself. It does. He sexually harasses it immediately.

every one of these stories of people being detained for arbitrary reasons or tiny infractions just Coincidentally mentions that they participated in a protest that goes against US military interests

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The conservative movement has turned against reality on every scientific issue of our time, from gun violence to climate change to epidemiology. If campuses are ideologically homogenous, it's not because academia has ostracized conservatives. It's because conservatives have ostracized academia.

i hope this conclave is like the one in the movie conclave

Free link: archive.ph/G5E8H International students have always been a substantial source of revenue and cheap labor for schools, the exploitation was always there, they’ve always been vulnerable to this kind of abuse. Pay attention to this, as it’s sketches out the shape of things to come for all.

So the University of Minnesota is the only university in the country to have a contract with ICE. We also produce more ammunition for them than any other state, and we are only behind Texas in terms of leasing gun ranges to them.

I have my problems with any Pope, by definition But you gotta hand it to Papa Francisco for coining the phrase "theirs is the construction site of hell" in a description of American fascism and then dying almost immediately afterward

My internet friend and fav indie lingerie designer, Karolina Laskowska, is moving countries after some big life-altering events. Moves are expensive, but moving a business? And a museum?! If you have any money to spare, it would do a lot to relieve some serious financial stress. gofund.me/d786e22c

Among the horrible things about the case of Aditya Wahyu Harsono - here legally until his visa was revoked in secret - is that the hospital where he worked collaborated in his arrest. ICE asked them to schedule a fake staff meeting where they arrested him. Bastards.

Cultural appropriation is not about respecting cultural authenticity it’s about theft and profit within a racialized marketplace, and can be done in great taste. White people making bank selling dupatta is the problem, not calling it “Scandinavian scarves” and using the wrong colors and fabrics.
