first snow of the season
A small urban pond ringed in grass with a dusting of snow and tree boughs and cattails topped with snow. Deciduous trees still with color changing leaves at the far side of the pond

look down
An oak gall on a brown oak leaf fragment, atop a mat of bright green moss. The gall is about the size of a golf ball; it's brown and has a small hole where the gall wasp has emerged

looking down
Orange leaves on a tree in the foreground and below a green river lined on both sides with trees with colorful leaves. A bridge and Apt building are in the background

look up
A red glow beams out where the sun shines through deciduous trees turning yellow. (The glow is from a red plastic heart someone has hung on a branch - it's obscured from direct view)

look up
Color POP of red and yellow leaves on deciduous trees above, over a gravel and dirt trail (a former rail bed), lined by a tall wooden fence on the right and some rocks and senescing plants on the left. It's near dusk so the trail and ground are in the shade but the setting sun is shining on the tree canopy, making the changing colors stand out even more

took a long walk in the woods. saw a red tail take a squirrel.
The edge of a dirt cliff over a river. There's a log on the ground and some scraggly trees. Colorful leaves on the ground and on the trees across the river. There's blue sky dotted with clouds and they are both reflected in the greenish river. This is a view from Seneca Park looking north up the Genesee River

If you want a good laugh, you will find Reuters' AI assistant pop up the minute you click on this link from Reuters about how AI assistants make widespread errors about the news
Screenshot of the Reuters AI assistant, the menu shows a red circle with white stars--two small and one large, and in white text on a black panel: "Get the key points from this story with Reuters AI"

As a deaf person with a deaf kid, I'm the first to admit IDEA isn't perfect. I fight people's (often willful) misinterpretations of the Least Restrictive Environment every day. Just gave a lecture at BU about how change is needed. Deleting all legal oversight in the middle of the night isn't it.

If you are a supporter and reader of @contingent-mag.bsky.social one of the biggest things you can do to help us at the moment is get this CFP to the NTT folks in your life. The fracturing of social media has made it very difficult to get the word out esp. to adjuncts and VAPs.
CFP: A Time of Monsters
The monster has been here all along. It is a historical constant that manifests in wildly different ways across time, place, and culture. Whatever form it takes, the monster claws at categories; it un...

welp, just got a peer review probably written by AI (comments on things not in the paper and full of headers/bullet point lists not in the review Qs). sucks that student-led work is treated so poorly by colleagues.

sigh. (seen in a kid toy section of store)
Picture of a pictionary game box that says pictionary VS AI in big letters at the top. On the box it has phrases like "can you predict if the AI will get it right?" And "human sketches, AI guesses!"

Oct is when the reality of a changing climate and local traditions are in stark contrast. Stuff starts "closing for winter" and it's 80 degrees out.
