Canada is refusing to issue ISBNs to books primarily generated with AI. This illustrates both the urgency of the problem of the growing flood of slop books, and also the toothlessness of addressing it on the honor system without there also being consequences for lying

Everything went well but, of course, getting the medications in her is a struggle. Baby steps. In other news I broke my toe in the middle of the night stumbling around in the dark. So that's fun.

Aggressive anti-choice folks on TMU campus preying on young women. So I am lurking, getting in between these men and these women and telling the students that they don’t have to be polite.

Out of a class of 30, two of my students have fully reported back on their experience of reading pirated ebooks as though that's an easy and natural thing to do, nothing wrong with it at all. I know it's rampant, but for a class project?! Yiiiikes.

Bookish Canadian friends: did you know that anyone in Ontario can get a card at the Brampton Public Library? And once verified (in person) you can access their digital catalogue? Use this news wisely!

I hate the racist fan chants in Atlanta baseball so gd much. It really ruins things for me. Not even Joey Votto is enough of a salve.

Unfortunately the cringe mock-Indian chant is going to be with us the whole game. The Braves deserve to lose for that alone. #phillies

I don’t much care for Philly, but Atlanta, and their godawful “tomahawk chop” must be defeated. It’s proof that soft racism is still A-OK with the mainstream, but it should be a curse.

Migraine + 10-hour teaching day = losing my computer charger, going to the wrong classroom, and forgetting how long the lecture is and ending it 30 minutes early after rushing through it like a complete dingbat. Argh.

I teach partly in a computer lab that has two TVs for display purposes that are labelled "north" and "south" with individual controls for each. North and south. Do I know which way is north when I am sitting in that classroom? Hell no. Who labels things like this? What kind of brain does that?!
