hi bluesky! i'm a queer disabled graduate researcher recruiting LGBTQIA+ disabled adults (18+, U.S.) for a de-identified/confidential, paid Zoom interview to document your health & social experiences. I’d love to know your story & what inclusive, fully accessible, stigma-free care looks like for you

The frenzy around #AI is more about sociology than it is technology. AI can't effectively replace human jobs, but executives feel they must be doing AI, despite the evidence to suggest that it's not creating better outcomes. It's overinflated, and the bubble will pop sooner or later.

unbelievably overwhelmed (in the best way) by the level of response i’ve gotten on this project. it’s been so meaningful to see so much interest in my work and i am so lucky to have so many people to screen.

closing the form tomorrow morning btw. last chance to get forms completed and submitted!

laughing at first year grad student ash who thought learning quant wasn’t important because ✨i’d just be a qualitative researcher✨

tell me how i’d handle creating a solid, representational sample from 400 responses to my interview screening form without at least /some/ quant skills

Here's a lesson for all of us that the universities are relearning today:
Staying silent in the face of fascism will not protect you.

The part of George Orwell’s 1984 that everyone forgets is how the music and publishing industries have been replaced by a machine that spits out songs and bad novels “without any human intervention.” The goal is to keep you from ever having to think.

US military budget: $850 billion

US National Institutes of Health indirect costs: $9 billion

That they are so focused on cutting the budget of the latter says everything.

University administrators aren’t just “wary of provoking a president.” They are very actively threatening senior faculty and censoring speech—from campus talks to publications—that they are afraid might catch the eye of Trump’s team and lead to threats to federal funding. It’s appalling cowardice.
The blithe tone of this headline and deck is chilling.
