Whistles work! New York, get some whistles.

Absolutely! She would be thrilled to talk shop. I always am. And back in the day, one of my professors wanted me writing for TV, another one wanted me writing erotica, and a third was horrified by what I did write. There’s an audience for everything!

You too! And agreed. I can’t even hope for it to take a sharp right and hit Mar-a-Lago, because then the surrounding communities suffer.

I understand. I’m on the dirty side of this and anxious too

Listen, I’m visually impaired. The issue I have here isn’t the lack of alt text. The issue I have is that for a good 20 seconds, I couldn’t see that those were masks and thought they were actual attendees at Mar-a-Lago.

I like accounts that don’t steal every post they make from others, don’t you?

Yup, one of my partner institutions emailed about it earlier, another one is likely to get hit. I may just catch a tornado or two. I also did not have this on my radar, either figuratively or literally.

Student: I have contacted you three times but you have not graded my Unit 2 exam. If you are unwilling to do your job I will complain. Me: We don’t have a Unit 2 exam. Student: I mean module 2. My point still stands even if you’re being picky. Me: We do not have a module 2 exam. Or any exams.

Philly is going to be everything, but I think we might be missing out on Boston’s potential. And in the south east, Atlanta is gonna be a fucking party.

Mine says I use “a lot of eyedrops.” Accurate.

Herrific @herrific.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Also one of the barefoot people! For me, it has identified knitting, cats, coffee, reading, and eyedrops as my interests. Which is accurate.

And back up to work some more. And if I ever learn who did this to us…

4:35 am, and I’ve reached peak fuck it. Bed time. Too tired.

Herrific @herrific.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

3:00am. Still grading. So damn tired. To the “professional” in admin who fucked our calendar, please accept my heartiest New York Salute.

Time for another all-nighter grading. Fml

I’m going to ask what Is likely a legitimately dumb question, but I’m curious. Is there any chance that these are being brought back for show intimidation around the midterms or for events after?

Write your own posts, bot.

Dear Professor, I hope this email finds you well. I want to apologize for using AI on my essay. I recognize that doing so was not just a mistake, it was a violation of trust. I will submit a new essay tonight to demonstrate my commitment to excellence in your course. BRUH.

Ooooh! And with basil you can keep going perpetually, because if it’s a little bit too woody or if it’s all ready at once, put it in water. It’ll root. You get another basil plant!

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

The only way that is possible is if they are only looking at enrollment at a transfer institution as counting towards the degree. The math doesn’t work otherwise. Yes, I only spent one year at the institution from which I earned my BA, but I showed up with 120 credit hours.

Herrific @herrific.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Ah. Well, shame about that loss. Death by shooting yourself in the foot is a hell of a way to go.

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!”

She just wants everything dry, huh.

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.

Herrific @herrific.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Ugh, my PhD program did the same and expected 350 pages. While I am desperately verbose, even I feel that was too much.

Hey Siri, did I just hallucinate a blue-haired potato motherfucker orrrrr

“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.

Herrific @herrific.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Oh, I could see you posted seven hours before him. And I keep reporting his posts, but yet they keep coming.

Herrific @herrific.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Interesting coincidence on my timeline:

The same posts, but one is seven hours earlier.

Herrific @herrific.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Crazy coincidence on my timeline.

Two posts saying the exact same thing, back to back, but @khwalz.bsky.social said it 7 hours earlier.

Herrific @herrific.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

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.

While these do exist, they do not look like this. This video appears to be AI. Why would you post AI?

I need to never let my husband call in a curry order because his accent makes promises my mouth cannot keep. Sweating like a sinner in church, y’all.

Herrific @herrific.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

That’s interesting! I am super adverse to them, and my allergist said that he felt that that was an adaptive response because I’m also averse to a few other foods that are in the same allergen class. But my reaction to them is just dislike; nothing serious like what you’re experiencing!

Herrific @herrific.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Every bit of this. Colleague once chased me with a banana. I did not want the smell on me. 🤢

Herrific @herrific.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Sounds like my kind of deal! (Seriously, I loathe bananas.)

Herrific @herrific.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I’ll eat your candy corn. I’ll always take the dill pickle. I’d be delighted to have your black jellybeans. Mushrooms? Hell yes. Bananas, peeps, and Lima beans can fuck off into the sun.

Hello, fellow harm-avoidant! I see you, I support you, and I feel this too dang much!

Herrific @herrific.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

That’s fair. I don’t get those, but I was also wondering if folks got weekends off? I don’t get weekends off.

Herrific @herrific.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Can’t help but think about tools and houses here.

000

Herrific @herrific.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

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?

More realistic, and yet somehow the valley is now both uncanny and annoying.

Herrific @herrific.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

You’re so welcome! I learned it from knitters hand-washing items, so can’t take the credit.

Herrific @herrific.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

So basically, if the tabletop washer doesn’t work great to spin the water out, you’ve got a back up.
