I’m in the midst of these conversations, too. Folks I mentor are trying to find jobs. Will our publication record prevent them from getting hired by folks complying with censorship?

I work at the pace my partnerships allow. Time for last minute caregiving shifts, adjustments for the hustle of everyday life, time out for life changes (new schools, homes). And accommodating disabled and chronically ill mindbodies. And my work is better for it. #SlowResearch #SlowLS

I’m a learning geek. I adore children’s perspectives + expertise. I’m grateful everyday for family partnerships. I’m in awe of the work teachers do to cultivate children’s brilliance. I’m a science nerd. I’m a disabled, queer, scholar. All of this leads me to a #SlowResearch approach.

Hey fellow disabled scholars! The ISLS accommodations process is SUPER EASY. As someone who was BEEN THROUGH IT with invasive processes, this is not that. If you have concerns, please reach out!! ISLS is making sure that remote presenters are deeply integrated in conference activity! Don't miss out!

Some how, our uni president is letting us keep our faculty senate. But we’re only an advisory body with no real power thanks to the new TX law. The extra-official work is going to be KEY in coming years.

What’s happening is a lot of people who thought a little fascism just meant clearing out some undesirables and making the trains run on time are realizing that actually yes they too will be effected and it’s making them slightly nervous.

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.

This is the definition of a failed social media platform.
For scientists who use social media to encourage followers to visit external links (websites, papers, etc.,) here’s some data from this blog. For nearly a decade, Twitter was the #1 or #2 source of traffic to the blog almost every day. It hasn’t been in the top 10 sources of traffic to the blog in years, and a single SheetMusicPlus.com article from 2016 generates more traffic here than all of Twitter. So far this year, Bluesky is responsible for about 100x as much traffic as Twitter. AltMetric reports that despite Twitter having 10x the user base as BlueSky, BlueSky users share almost as many scholarly publications as Twitter users- and Twitter’s numbers are declining as Bluesky’s rise.

Reading the awful news out of University Chicago's Division of Arts and Humanities and the formation of a committee that is apparently exploring the question, "Is there language teaching that we can do via ChatGPT?" should make it clear that GenAI is an anti-worker technology of austerity.

It’s worse than “Gaza is being starved and destroyed and no one cares.” It’s that hundreds of millions *do* care and are powerless to stop it. We need a world where that can never happen, where the masses actually have political power.
