I understand it’s necessary but writing my AI section of my syllabus is soul-sucking. But this is where we are.

If I could offer students one bit of…advice: be brutally traditional about what is printed on your degree. If you are first-gen or in any way non traditional, this goes double. Let rich kids get degrees in AI. You get something called “English”.

LinkedIn feels too curated and influencer-ish. I post every and now then and immediately leave. Something about LinkedIn feels too forced.

I gotta find a new hair stylist and I hate that for me. You know how hard it is to find a loctician who can do microlocs and won’t send a “hey boo” text or have an aggressive,brightly colored website with unnecessary rules? I might have to become a DIY girlie 😭

Random advice that no one asked for: Graduate students, if you can, take a writing class. A class dedicated to the craft of writing. This was a game changer for me during my final year.
