WH ends (well, close enough) with the scene of "close" (read: intimate) reading in the window. Those sisters were on to something!

Based off something “some random guy” said about 100 years ago ;)

Thanks Annie! Couldn’t have written this without your insights! Also, sorry, meant to email you to let you know it was live!!

That CFA, the faculty union across Cal State campuses, is currently bargaining a contract hardly seems immaterial

Grants like those Cal State is offering are no doubt designed to drive a wedge between faculty 5/5

How, as a TA, do you assess and provide feedback for 7k students? You can’t, until your uni rolls out its proprietary chat bot and advocates its usefulness for instruction 4/5

But at many school, the ballooning class sizes and administrative demands on faculty time are making AI almost unavoidable. @anniemcc.bsky.social relayed some hair raising stories about 7k student STEM courses seemingly as punishment for the grad COLA strike 3/5

This is obviously an effort to buy compliance. And it would be easy to villainize faculty who participate. This is often less of a choice than it looks, esp for faculty on one year contracts or being paid per class. Sure, some tenured faculty will willingly participate in this shit. 2/5
