so sick of hearing about AI initiatives in academia.
Instead, why don’t we invest in more TT jobs, student scholarships, research support, etc.

Such a thrill to write about My So-Called Life and Winnie Holzman for @atpost45.bsky.social!
For @ehl.bsky.social, the voice of MSCL's creator, Winnie Holzman (who would go on to write the musical and film adaptation of Wicked), stands out. Holzman’s style has had an enormous & largely unrecognized effect on popular culture, especially on depictions of girlhood. post45.org/2025/05/the-...
