they do be making everyone read Susan Sontag forever (i swear the reading list for my photography degree was just susan sontag and that guy whose name i forgot cos it's been 20 years (roland barthes)

cuips-not-cute.bsky.social•20 days ago

haha very real. as they should honestly, i like sontag's stuff a lot

ngl i can't remember if i actually did any of the reading 🫣 i was going through one of my awful not reading or writing anything phases.

hey it happens!!!

Yes me too but I’m old and retired and started reading her essays in high school starting with Against Interpretation. I’m happy you’re young and appreciate her writings! Unbelievable genius with no fear in her muses. And she loved life and knew how to live it. All the best

this was so sweet, thank you!! i totally agree, everything i've read of hers has been an absolute delight<3

Berkeley at 16 then UofChicago at 18 with their Classics program under Hutchinson. The Bio of Sontag is a really good read too

Yeah, no matter what marks I get, at least I’m actually using my brain to research and write my essays… at least when I write crap it’s honest crap… at least I can actually understand what I’m saying because I engaged my brain at all…

cuips-not-cute.bsky.social•20 days ago

I'm so lucky all my friends are academics. One of my best friends teaches the intro writing course at a state university and every day I'm like ... how bad is it?

cuips-not-cute.bsky.social•20 days ago

oh god i can't even imagine. all the honor board meetings......yikes

piedpipercalls.bsky.social•20 days ago

Yeah, she had to structure it so they do all their work in class. They read and annotate their sources & write all the drafts with her. They've never had to do it, and to them, it doesn't make sense to learn when a computer can do it. It's very, why learn this math when we have calculators energy.

cuips-not-cute.bsky.social•20 days ago

ahhhh, yes. god forbid you actually learn smth just to learn smth

mommymilker1.bsky.social•19 days ago

the arts are so fucking cooked at this rate

cuips-not-cute.bsky.social•19 days ago

to be fair idk if the ppl i heard were in the arts, the class is a lot of gen ed students so they might not have been and the general attitude toward ai in my classes is pretty negative thank god but YEAH no one should be using ai!!! you aren't learning!!!! and you came here to learn!!!!!!!!

mommymilker1.bsky.social•19 days ago

no fr like i use it because my professors suck and i cant read through thirty publications to still not have the answer. but its like google for medicine. if you’re using it for your essay you suck
