Ok I finally finished WE CALL THEM
WITCHES. I don’t know why it took me so long except that it was scary and also I was in a bit of a slump. Interesting concept, real real bleak. Not sure how I feel about the execution—lot of the choices the MC made seemed…odd. But good writing and worth your time.

NEW, a big loss for the right on the (large) Katy school board, in the greater Houston area.
Voters have ousted Victor Perez, the board's ultra-conservative president.
Perez had championed a policy against trans students that had passed on a 4-3 vote & that prompted a federal investigation.

Texas conservatives who've championed book bans & anti-LGBT policies suffered big losses tonight in school board races.
And They seem to have lost their working majorities to pass their policies in big school boards.
I tracked these results in FOUR boards tonight. So a 🧵 on each ICYMI.

I know exactly who this is and my friend goes to this church. I’ve been a few times to services with her and heard him preach once. He’s a good man and this is so fucked up.
According to the diocese, the priest was legally working here. Now, he’s in ICE detention: www.ncronline.org/news/texas-e...

Was a tour guide for the annual library ghost tour last night, then couldn't sleep and rewrote the entire script in my head for next year because I was not involved in writing it all despite being technically a published horror writer. Not sure how that happened? Anyway next year is gonna be LIT

I keep banging the drum that genAI doesn't save time but creates it. Even if you personally save a couple minutes, that time gets kicked down the road and compounded, sometimes back to you but often to someone else who now has to do their job *and* deal with yours.
Cheating with an LLM is the easiest thing in the world for a student to do, but it creates a massive, laborious headache for a prof, if you intend to take it seriously. There’s meetings, emails, discussions, moral dilemmas. It’s just incredibly burdensome, on top of everything else right now.
I had 9 meetings about students using Chat GPT/LLMs on their papers today.
