If writing is so easy why do people argue that they can’t do it without the pablumatic verbiage extruder
And if it’s so difficult then why do people think it’s not labour and writers are not workers

Student emailed saying they wanted to know what they needed to do to pass the course and that they hoped I would “work with them.”
Honey, your average is a 4%. You hung up on me three times this semester when I called to see if you were OK. What’s to work with?

In the last half hour, admin let me know a student was falsely claiming I never helped them or responded to contacts and that I threatened them. Admin immediately went into my course, read emails between us, and went UH WTF student is 100% lying to try to avoid honor board and gave me a heads up.

Been grading all day. “Great start here! Simplify your thesis for clarity, please!Keep going with your analysis and synthesis, remember to support and cite, develop your conclusion further, four full pages…”
15 minutes after feedback, unedited 2-page first draft submitted as final draft. 😑

I see a lot of non-humanities academics telling my discipline to get on board with AI, that we need to embrace it, that writing is obsolete. Yet these folks are the ones who bitch and moan when their AI-powered students cannot write. Choose.

We’re having a big problem with cheating in an online exam, so they found a solution: using a lockdown browser, but without monitoring.
Y’all, so, I know this is wild, but hear me out:

I have students who I dread interacting with, usually because they’ve cheated repeatedly. I know my role requires me to be professional and work with these students, but I wish we had a threshold for removal from class.

I have to reply to discussion posts today in one of my sections, and y’all, I know students complain about having to make responses, but try doing it for five classes damn near every week. FOUL.

Dear lawn service,
If you knock aggressively and ring the doorbell repeatedly here, in a household with immigrants, we are NOT ANSWERING THE MOTHERFUCKING DOOR.
JFC this is a castle doctrine state have you lost your mind?

Make being racist expensive.

News Flash - Racism can be very expensive.
Nazi Karen calls the police on the Boston Police Chief. Good for him for suing that racist. #DemsUnited

Last night I dreamt that “it” happened. It was such a good dream, and when I woke up from it I immediately checked my phone to see if it was true. And of course there was no announcement, but I rationalized that it was four in the morning and they wouldn’t report until the morning news.
So… 🤞🤞🤞

My mother wanted to know why I was so cynical about higher ed right now.
It’s because my colleagues and I are averaging five to ten repeat honor board cases per week. I have had that many in a day. I have been threatened, lied to, libeled, cussed at, and harassed.
I’m tired. We’re all tired.

Teach? What do I teach? Nothing now; not really. I just decide when the AI slop my students turn in is too AI or too slop.
Most times it’s both. Anyway, another day, another semi-literate death threat.

Turned in my assignment 20 minutes late because I completely messed up and edited the wrong version. 100% my fault so I’ll take my lumps.
At least I turned it in, I guess. About 2/3 of this year’s cohort seem to have vanished since August. 😬

BOOM! After months of the GOP kicking and screaming in opposition, the Democrats have broken Trump's Pedophile Protection program and sent a bill to release the Epstein files directly to the criminal President's desk.

I have paper revisions to do tonight, having graded all day, and then tomorrow it’s all honor board cases and document forensics, and then it’s back to grading.
But damn it, I’m taking Thanksgiving day off.

I’m trying to recall the last time I had a full day off. Maybe August. It ain’t happening today, either.

Write a list of bullet points, they said. It’s an outline, they said.
I’m sorry my outline is 18 pages, I said. That’s what it took to accomplish what the assignment asked for, I said.
