Not sure yet. Follow-up question: Would you ask students to disclose that they used the spelling and grammar checker functions in their word processor software? (Again, pointing to similarities, not as equal in quality.)

I'm wondering how it is different than asking a peer or a writing center tutor. (I'm not saying the quality of those is all equal, just that they are all the same action, in a way.) I don't expect my students to disclose those other forms of assistance.

My latest books cartoon for @theguardian.com

Title: The Cyclops discusses his part in Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey'

Panel 1.
The cyclops wanders across his island, talking to the audience
"Most directors these days just use computers, so I appreciate that chris sailed the entire crew to a mythical island to shoot my scenes on film."

Panel 2.
He continues as he climbs the hill.
"I wasn't going to do it: The young people are all so down on cannibalism. But I called up Homer and he said "Are you an idiot?This is Hollywood money, not poetry royalties!"

Panel 3.
He sits on a rock and looks out to sea.
"So I got to meet Matt Damon, which was cool."

I'm copyediting a book about Bologna, and learning about the anarchist XM24 collective. They created murals on the building they occupied, and painted over them several times in protest of city actions. You can see the progression over multiple years on Street Maps: maps.app.goo.gl/FyL2hb4LbTYn...

Really really wish I could assign this film (and this reading) in my US history in film course, but alas, it's much too R-rated. (I usually have high school dual-enrollment students who are likely under 18.)

Gotta love copyediting a book that discusses the 1970s oil shock while experiencing one again today.... For historical perspective: gas prices increased 19.6 percent in 1973, 20.7 percent in 1974, and 11 percent in 1975. (Image from commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Oi...) #AmEditing #historians

Ugh, I'm so sorry. I checked in the other day with an editing client who lives in a Minneapolis suburb. It's been quiet there so far, but they are preparing nevertheless. Targeting schools is just despicable.

Weird to be commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Am Rev while living under a government that has a) sent armed troops to occupy cities perceived to be too rebellious, b) rendered largely irrelevant the representative branch of government, and c) claimed imperial right to rule other countries.

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

Maybe, if you're not actually in university classrooms, teaching students in the age of gAI, perhaps you might want to stop and listen when people actually in those classrooms raise concerns about what they are seeing; and not just dismiss us as luddites, or boomers, or cruel profs playing cops

I just read the post in an editors' Facebook group with your response to the question. Another person had brought up the issue, earlier in the same group. That person then commented, "Did you acknowledge me as the originator of the question?" I ... don't get the motivation at all.

Message to all faculty: your expertise is no longer trusted or valued at this so-called “university.”

A thread by an A&M professor describing how the new rules will impact faculty. Syllabi must be fed into AI to be checked for content not aligned with approved syllabi; students will be encouraged to report faculty for inaccurate content; and young people are now being told they get to decide what a professor should teach.

I usually "fix" this one because I work in scholarly editing, which tends to be more strict/conventional/formal.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

They're saying it out loud. Whose heritage? Whose homeland?

Screenshot of a post from the dhsgov and whitehouse Instagram accounts: the painting "American Progress" by John Gast with the text "A Heritage to be proud of, a Homeland worth Defending." The painting is a landscape with trains and covered wagons crossing the land, ships on a waterway, and farmers, while Native Americans flee. A very pale skinned woman in a white drapery hovers over the scene, with a telegraph line in her hand extending behind her.

I asked students in my US History I class to consider whether reform from within a system or creating something new is more effective. There are many examples of both, including the Revolutionary War, early labor movements like the Mill Girls, abolitionists, utopian communities, etc. #historians 1/
