I feel like this job is likely to kill me in the near future. Wonder if I’ll make it six months.

Being told “I didn’t use AI, I just used Gemini!“ is like hearing, “I didn’t murder him, Your Honor, I just killed him to death!”

Meeting later on camera is going to be fun. I’ve got brutal vertigo for no discernible reason and my nystagmus is like WAIT FOR MEEEEE, INNER EAR! Already feel a decided need to vomit just from the meeting, so this is nice.

“So you’re really analytical and are great at finding contradictions and things that are missing and are great at proofreading, so why don’t we give you a sneak preview of this class we’re about to test-run and you can look it all over and tell us what you think!“ I think fuck you, pay me.

Told a fellow doctoral student that I would no longer engage with his ChatGPT generated content and his reply included an inadvertent confession. This is why you learn to write kids. So you don’t accidentally incriminate yourself.

This is going to sound like a really dumb question I guess, but do y’all get days off? Do you have days when you don’t have to work and you can just choose what to do?

Had a doozy of a nightmare that led to me sitting bolt upright in bed and screaming. Very restful. Glad I’m managing my stress levels well.

Student is very angry with me because despite multiple instructions about what short stories to read, he read and annotated and discussed the wrong one. I did not tell him until after he did so, and only offered him the opportunity to fix the mistake, thus inconveniencing him.

Wait, wait wait wait wait wait wait. Let me get this straight: Bestiality is OK, but furries are a problem? So like, you can fuck a real wolf, but not someone fursuited as a wolf? Is it because the furries can consent? Is that the problem? Is consent “unsexy” to Republicans?

Professor just sent a diabolical AI generated announcement to us, including the emojis, and I question why I’m still trying to teach people to write. My work in higher ed appears to be meaningless.

Oh yay, the issue I identified over the summer that is impacting thousands of students in fall semester is not being resolved for spring semester. Sooooo many students failing because somebody doesn’t know how to count.

“Well, our unofficial policy is…” Stop. If it’s unofficial, it’s not policy. If you want me to follow policy, make it policy. Otherwise it is guidance, not policy.

I became a scientist because I wanted to understand how things work. Now I'm running for Congress, because I realized we desperately need more people in government who want to understand how things work.

Hey students, new life tip for you! Did you know that you can generate all of your work with AI, then have your daddy threaten to sue, and you get an A in the class? As long as you can convince the school you have enough money for a lawyer, you will never have to learn! 🎉

This is why Trump can’t stand Black women. They don’t take his shit. Let’s appreciate Rep. Joyce Beatty for being the fighter we need. Trump: “I think you’re incompetent.” Beatty: “I know you’re incompetent.” Then she reminded him: “You had more bankruptcies than anybody in the room.” 🔥

“I couldn’t do the assignment because my power was out for the last five days.” Oh wow, that’s awful! Let me pull up the power outages database for your area just to confirm that! Hmm, so this is crazy, but I can’t find your outage. (I’ve played knifey-spooney before, kid.)

Look folks, this is all easily explainable. They’re not keeping him warm enough. Turtles have to be kept at a temperature above 50°, because otherwise they become weak, disoriented, and non-responsive.

I’m tired at an existential crisis level. While it won’t help the tired, I would very much like an ice cream sandwich with a Dime Bar/Daim Bar/Heath Bar inserted please.

To the point in this doctoral program where the AI use is so ubiquitous that the few of us doing the work are questioning whether or not the degree will have any value. Obviously, we’re the suckers trying to learn and putting in the effort when we could just get a doctorate with no work.

I had to make a required discussion response to a member of the other doctoral cohort today. He uses ChatGPT for everything. It’s painfully obvious. Anyway, I found it so morally repugnant that I broke out in hives. Actual hives requiring antihistamines. Insanity.

Herrific @herrific.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

So wait a second, is he trying to make sure we don’t have enough gas to drive to the polls plus we can’t mail in our ballots? Or is he still trying to make sure that we are shitting ourselves too much to go to the polls. I’m so confused here.

No, I don’t want a fucking AI tutor “teaching” my students. *I* want to teach my students. And I want *them* to be human and not a fucking piece of software too.

Sooo I’ve pissed off a cop by calling out his repeated unethical behavior. If I get swatted or start getting pulled over, harassed, or threatened, just want to put it out there that I’m not suicidal.

I’m the target audience for the foldy-phone. I’m a geek, I’m in an Apple ecosystem, and I’m visually impaired and could use the additional screen size. And if they think I’m paying as much for a phone as I pay for a MacBook, they can bite my pasty ass.

I am sick and tired of these unethical dumb-ass cheating MFers in these doctoral cohorts using AI for fucking EVERYTHING. Two programs, one on institutional leadership, one on pedagogy, and they refuse to learn and write. Get. The. Fuck. Out.

LAUSD and NYC Schools enroll approximately 1.62 million students. That’s about 3.2% of public school enrollment. Local organizing made this happen in the largest districts in the country. That means it can work anywhere. The 48 million children are waiting.
