I knew it was going to be a grad student or an adjunct. And because grad students and adjuncts are cheap and easy to replace, they're the front line in the student-as-customer model of higher ed. Unhappy customer? Sacrifice a lowly TA or adjunct, problem solved.

Unions now. Unions forever.
OU has put the professor here on administrative leave:

Can, like, EVERY Japanese wrestling company's English team hire MarzGurl? It'd be a win/win for everyone. 🤼
Anyway, I literally am short rent, due in six days, because the anime workflow I once had in spades has run dry thanks to nonsense like this.

If you're a content creator who could use captions for a video, please consider commissioning me. 113 minutes of video by next Thursday could make it happen.
With just a little more work, I can cross the finish line for the month and pay all necessary bills and rent! Can I help you make closed captions for an upcoming or pre-existing video? I have a page on the process here, including a form to fill out so I can help you with your project!

“There was another guy on the floor. That guy, they chained from the head. Down to the feet,” Kuyateh said. “They said if you don’t cooperate with us, that’s how we’re going to tie you.”
🧵This 58-year-old nurse from Maryland is seen being violently dragged along the ground by officials in Ghana.

Trump deported her there.

This abhorrent & disgusting abuse of a woman who saved American lives and cared for injured and ill Americans for 30 years.

All the details below are worse.

Rabbiatu Kuyateh was detained this summer at her annual ICE check-in, her son said. She moved to the D.C. area 30 years ago as she fled civil war in Sierra Leone.

Sometimes I think about how my very good evolutionary anthropology professor started the class by saying “if you’re here to argue with me about creationism, leave” and how that very reasonable request could be career-ending today

In a new leaked memo, the FDA outlined plans to make it much harder to get new vaccines approved, claiming, without sharing evidence, that the COVID vaccines have killed at least 10 children.

This is so reckless. The science shows us that COVID vaccines have saved millions of lives.

Suddenly, the applause he gave on that red-carpeted airport tarmac makes a lot more sense. 🤡
“In days after Alaska, a European intel agency distributed a hard-copy report in an envelope to some of the continent’s most senior national security officials, who were shocked by the contents: Inside were details of the commercial and economic plans the Trump admin had been pursuing with Russia.”

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.

And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

This is also still an option.
If you don't need captions, I'm still selling stickers (and accepting donations) over at my Ko-Fi!

This shit is why I'm getting less and less work on anime and having to scramble to ask around with YouTubers for help letting me do their CCs just to pay my damn rent. There's enough anime to caption out there that I should not be fucking struggling.

After publishing this article, I've heard from many that CR seems to be using AI to produce dub CCs. Now, thanks to a slip-up CR had with episode 6 dub of The Banished Court Magician, we can say that with 100% certainty: Crunchyroll is using the AI service Ollang.com for its dub closed captions!

feeling extremely something to see some peanut go "you haven't given people a reason to *not* pirate books" juxtaposed with said peanut talking about the kind of queer representation they want in media

unfun fact: a lot of queer creatives are broke as shattered windows, and piracy doesn't help

We really do have two different kinds of law now: District Court law (aka the law), and Supreme Court "law" (aka the U.S. House of Lords upholding Trump's personalist regime)
I don’t know what the Supreme Court will do, but I am confident that at the District Court level it is still the case that the Pentagon cannot recall a sitting US Senator to active duty in order to court martial him for something he said. Article 1, Section 6, among other constitutional provisions.
