Today's academic pet peeve: Editing 2400 words out of a short story because my instructor added a maximum word limit after I'd already started writing. I haven't written 5000 words of original fiction in almost a decade, though, so I guess it's still good that I overshot so much?

Got to see Coyote vs ACME yesterday and it was fantastic. Here's my Etch-a-Sketch tribute!

I'm leasing my Ioniq 5 so it goes to the dealer for service. On its 5k mile service, advisor said, "It's pristine! It doesn't need anything but we have to sell you something, so I picked battery service." Now I get monthly e-mails about "vital" battery service on an 18 month old car with 7k miles.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The title for the first two panels reads “dog domestication”.
The first panel shows a wolf running with a pack. The text reads “we changed form, size, personality…”
The second panel shows a chihuahua in a dog bed. The text reads “…lifestyle, instinct, our entire way of being.”
The title for the last two panel reads “cat domestication.”
The third panel shows an image of a cat outside.
The fourth panel shows the exact same cat indoors. The text reads “we went inside.”

Today's academic pet peeve: This professor gives the most baffling feedback. I've been told to indent all paragraphs on a paper with every graf indented .5", that I didn't use sources on a paper with 8 sources in the Works Cited, and to add titles to papers with clear, MLA-formatted titles. WTF?

The former is a star forming region near the image center 
filled with glowing gas and laced with dust that resembles 
dragons. The smaller NGC 6164 is seen on the lower right 
is an emission nebula created by a single massive star in 
its center.

Post in screenshot makes no sense. a) Zotero isn't AI. It's citation management software and all it does is organize your data. b) There is no harm in doing cites manually if you like it. Indeed, I did my cites by hand for years. There are options beyond "using AI" and "lying about it."

Academic pet peeve: You cannot say "use MLA formatting" and "single space lines" in the same instructions. MLA format is double-spaced throughout! I am so tired of these gimmick assignments. Please just let me write a 750 word essay instead of "letter to a concerned parent" or "video essay outline".

section from the scarlet hollow episode 4-5 devlog regarding players sending hate mail over getting locked out of episodes 6 and 7 for using a hacked worldstate (which, while specifically about video games, is definitely relevant to fandom in general)
I can think of no other medium where I’ve seen audience members assert a moral right to edit a creator’s work and to not only personally declare those edits as valid, canonical alterations, but to expect and demand that a work’s authors publicly condone these actions.

Though often couched in arguments favoring collective ownership, this stance, to me, is rooted in consumerism taken to an extreme: a personal desire to so wholly have ownership over another person’s work that one is willing to strip away anything that causes discomfort, choosing only to engage with a sanded down idea of what a text could have been rather than engaging with the text itself.

If you do hold this mindset and you found this short section of a very long essay upsetting, then I ask you to take a step back and ask yourself why that is.

Again, is this who you want to be?
