One of the most important things settlers who are committed to reconciliation can do today is to stand up to and call out denialist tactics. My colleague @seancarleton.bsky.social alongside Daniel Heath Justice explain more here: theconversation.com/truth-before...

Put less intelligently, the objection to the so-called AI boom is not about the technology being shitty (although it is). It’s about the shitty people who are using their shit technology to treat other people like shit.
When I’m accused of “technopessimism“ I counter that I’m not “pessimistic about technology“; I am opposed to the economic, political, and social project of upward wealth transfer that “AI” is being leveraged to bring about. If that phrasing is useful to others, then go ahead and use it.

The system I developed in grad school for saving and organizing pdfs of 2ndry and primary research is no longer serving me (probably because the "system" is equivalent to the red-string conspiracy theory meme). What do you folks do for keeping stuff logically organized and easily findable?

🧪 How many times and in what different ways do we need confirmation that genAI is crap for anything except the simplest tasks?
*Because it doesn't read, or comprehend, or think*.

For the avoidance of doubt, this is just a silly pun that amused me. I do not wish plagiarism (or heretical pelagianism) upon any university during this crisis era in UK higher education. But I do find it astonishing that AI is being rolled out without the slightest concern for consequences

You know you can just not use AI, right?
You can make a choice not to be part of this.
Even if your job uses it, YOU don’t have to in your normal life. You don’t have to let your kids use it.
You didn’t have it three years ago. You can just…be on Team Human. You can choose.

There are a lot of complicated reasons that colleges are making decisions about in-house AI or corporate partnerships, but what I have not heard AT ALL is any initiatives involving strengthening labor protections for faculty or improving pay as we are expected to re-skill in new tools.

Do you remember when I told you that your institutional repository was on a list for a future purge? And to save copies of everything in multiple places? It's time you prioritized that. Now.

We already lost a generation of humanists to precarity and starving our disciplines of funding. I do NOT want to lose the work we did get. I do not want work on Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, women and gender minorities, and queer folx's work to disappear.
I need this history. We all do.

Hi! Are you a US researcher who spent time thinking about humans? Then your work is in danger of censorship and loss. I'm here to walk you through basic self-archiving.
Maybe you think I am being hyperbolic. You only worked on bacteria! Not your problem. Do me a favor and join me anyway.

Do not capitulate in advance. Leave your work up. Make them take it down. Throw it on scihub, even!
But also. Also, save it. Name it carefully. Let it sit like a seed in the ground that will grow again when this storm has passed. Because it will -- evil will never triumph in the end.

Those of us who were disabled prior to Covid felt hope when the pandemic hit.
Hope for a more inclusive society. For chronic illness research to advance faster because Long Covid was too big to ignore.
Instead we’ve ended up with fascists cutting all research funding.
The grief is real.
