i truly cannot understand this, especially seeing people do this in humanities degrees - it's not even about the accessibility of it etc. bc im sure something similar would help as a disability aid, it is the fact that ch*tgpt doesn't even WORK properly and info is often altered / wrongly generated

Girl infront of me in class is "taking notes" by copy posting slide texts into ch*tgpt and having it use simpler vocabulary but it's just straight up changing the meaning of what's written. I think academia is cooked

John and I identified this phenomenon ages ago, where upstart social media platforms had a hard time working because the first wave of people to leave a platform are the ones who have the most radical positions, are the most aggrieved, and it's very hard to build a coalition of people like that. 1/x

can't seem to escape fan studies 🤭

excerpt from "Fans of Feminism: Re-writing Histories of Second-Wave Feminism in Contemporary Art" by Catherine Grant (Published in the Oxford Art Journal in 2011)
excerpt from "Fans of Feminism: Re-writing Histories of Second-Wave Feminism in Contemporary Art" by Catherine Grant, published in the Oxford Art Journal in 2011 Defining Fandom Within fan studies, fandom has been recuperated from the realms of obsessive loners and theorised instead as a creative, productive space of engagement with popular culture. As a model for re-writing histories, the differences between the fan and scholar seem to be blurred in many of the accounts of fandom, with a central debate being the self-definition of writer as being fans, academics, or 'fan- scholars' - describing the in-between site of their work within an academic context and /or their participation in fan culture.6 In this respect, my consideration of the artist as a fan also incorporates the artist as an art historian, as well as an art historian as a fan. Here the roles are blurred around a shared interest in a fan object, in this case feminism. My position as a writer is equally coloured by my own fandom, my own emotional attachment to the history of feminism and feminist art. As an art historian influenced by the legacies of feminism, the figure of the fan provides a way to think through my relationship to a history of feminist art and writing.

Reading is a political act.
Books are tools for liberation.
