I have a global talent visa now which *should* mean that my path to ILR is safe, but I imagine Labour may change this as well. It really does suck giving so much of oneself to a country that clearly doesn't want you here

I'm so tired of hearing that we need to "teach our students how to use AI" when the thing they most need to use it is a critical-thinking skill set that can only be acquired by NOT using it. I'm tired of hearing that it's inevitable. I'm tired.

it is also astounding that these tutors are, on top of teaching duties, often expected to perform welfare duties for students and provide them with guidance. it makes me think Oxford colleges dgaf about their students! bc they pay the staff helping them so little.
