ESPECIALLY if you have tenure. Years after I left a toxic grad school situation, I sailed with a member of my former dept. He said he was glad I was doing well now, bc he saw what my old advisor was doing to their students. It was all I could do not to yell 'THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SOMETHING?"

Please. If you see evidence of workplace harassment. Badmouthing of own junior staff, unreasonable expectations, removal or omission from authorship, hostile language, evidence of overworking or distress. Don't walk by. Academic safety nets can't rely on whisper networks set by marginalised people.

Banning the existence of Panhellenic fraternities would not solve every problem on every campus, and certainly not the existence of sexual assault, but when you've got a mosquito infestation it doesn't hurt to go right for the biggest pools of stagnant water

Chambered nautilus study

Photo of a painting of a chambered nautilus in green-blue water. The nautilus is dark red, pale orange and white with blue shadows. The shell is striped, counter shaded so it's darker on top and lighter on the bottom. The painting rests on a wood table, and a paintbrush is visible in the upper left corner.

Leaving alone is so cool and dandy, up until the weight of the world becomes a bit too heavy, and you want to cry into someone's shoulder, be embraced and have a helping hand. Instead being left with echoing thoughts and a cold void.

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

So many autistic/neurodivergent women (which I bet describes a LOT of women in the Silicon Valley AI scene) report being *specifically* targeted by sexual predators who take advantage of their issues with reading social situations. Which is why I loathe the “oh, those poor autistic men” excuse.

in my talk today, as an example of the strange things you can do in comics given their sequential but also spatial/simultaneous nature, I included this gonzo panel from 1950s Batman, which I just love in all its weirdness! Yes, I have more intentionally clever examples, but something about this...

part of a page from a batman comic. In one panel, batman leaps from off panel onto a diving board, the motion lines of his rebound travel across to another panel, where we see him finish his leap and crash into the crooks to save the day

There is a perception that job interviews are one way: that the people hiring are trying to see if you are the right person. In reality, it’s two ways: you are trying to see if it’s somewhere you want to spend 8 hours of your day. You learn this by asking questions and indirect cues … and flags 👇🏽
