new extra-woke identity marker just* dropped:
Cis-Atlantic
😱😅
*November 9, 1893
screenshot of 1893 newspaper article: "Issue 19 (November 9, 1893) “Mr. Oscar Wilde’s press-agents have wisely taken the hint offered in these columns and have considerably tempered the advance notices of the character of that person’s forthcoming lectures in this country. We hear much less than formerly of Wilde’s intention to initiate the American public into the mysteries and delights that formed the theme of his story of “Dorian Grey,” and he has probably been dissuaded from his purpose of instructing us in a new philosophy of filth. There is a limit to the proverbial patience of cis-Atlantic audiences, and it seems to have been reached by the mere hint of Wilde’s proposed incursions into the domain of Sodom and Gomorrah.”

Probs should rephrase this for my syllabus? 🤔 #AI #highered
Screenshot of word.doc:  This class is a generative AI-free space. Let’s make our own mistakes and learn from them rather than have a machine (which is draining our resources to infringe on copyright, regurgitate biases, and make billionaires richer) do them for us, while we only imitate learning.

if you're interested in #camp + #screenculture / #mediastudies / #popularculture, I'd be pleased if you considered contributing to the "Oxford Handbook of Camp and Screen Cultures," edited by the amazing Barbara Jane Brickman ... and me.
Reposts welcome!
