I see this attitude among some of my students towards basic reading, writing and thinking, too. It is truly terrifying to think about how we are producing a generation so dependent on these products that they cannot function without them, because who can trust Big Tech? Willingly deskilled.

Israel has been violently targeting Palestinians in the West Bank and forcing them into homelessness for decades. But the current attacks are among the worst since 1967. “Several refugee camps have been ‘nearly emptied of their residents.’”

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike

AMAZING! A GROUNDBREAKING sickle cell disease treatment has been APPROVED for NHS use. Exagamglogene (exa-cel) SUCCESSFULLY edits the faulty gene in a patient’s OWN stem cells.

No, I do not think we should use gAI to build literature reviews, and we definitely shouldn't be teaching faculty how to do this, this is not just some fancy new search engine, what on earth is wrong with you and why are you doing this ffs

Everyone can organize. Everyone can contribute to social movements. Everyone can do something, from somewhere. None of this is about "professionalism" or policy"expertise. That is counterinsurgency, demobilizing logic. Everyone can organize and has something to offer.

If you have a tiny bit of solidarity with disabled people, please wear a mask even though you think you are safe (and believe me, you are not), so that mask wearers are not singled out to become targets of violence

Even if you do not create/consume/like NSFW media you must speak up for SWs and NSFW creators b/c the criminalizing and banning of it is just another step towards fascism. It will be used to target minority groups, LGBT, etc. and anything deemed "unsanitary" or "degenerate".

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

No, I don't need a bloody copilot for this document, thank you. Writing is, in no small part, a tool for thinking. If you outsource that element to a machine that cannot think, you shouldn't be surprised if, at the end of the process, neither you nor your reader are any the wiser.

I am not gonna take anyone seriously who said nothing about Palestine, trans genocide, anti-immigration raids, militarized cops killing Black people, covid deaths, violence against students and academics, and now using the word "fascism" for the first time because harm seems to come close to them.

Listen, if you're feeling the urge to build community & look for ways to resist fascism, I need you to start masking in public again. You can't build solidarity with at-risk communities while being actively ableist, and not masking in public is ableist. Sorry to be blunt, but I'm existentially tired

Okay, here’s the deal: RIGHT NOW is the time for concrete, direct action. If you’re following me, it’s probably because you care about trans art and trans literature. The article below lays out my suggestions for dozens of concrete actions you can take to preemptively combat literary censorship.

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

The entire report at the NHS on suicides after restrictions were placed on puberty blockers left out a high profile suicide death. They manipulated the numbers to get the headlines they wanted to continue banning care.
