this invitation from my university's Center for Teaching and Learning to a workshop on using AI to boost "professional influence" on LinkedIn is... almost too much food for (human) thought

this article helpfully notes that some students have had visas revoked, whereas others have had immigration status summarily "terminated" in the Student & Exchange Visitor Information System database (SEVIS). SEVIS termination is even more abrupt & lacking in due process than visa revocation

On the latest episode of Behind the News, @doughenwood.bsky.social and @vcwills.bsky.social mentioned this gem from Capital & it struck me as pertinent to Sam Altman’s recent promise/threat to release “a new [ai] model that is good at creative writing”

inspired to be reminded how poetic form can stretch, prefigure, transfigure political imagination (&thus possibility?)—the shifting, capacious “I”; the openhearted, enraged voice; line breaks & turns, rhythms expanding & receding (thank you @aestallings.bsky.social for seeding this in my mind today)

after reading a lovely essay about Emily Dickinson’s letters in @nyrb-imprints.bsky.social, I had to treat myself to this gem from V Woolf’s Jacob’s Room. Bsky maybe isn’t quite as miraculous as letters per VW, but something is attempted here ☺️🌹
