This is NUTS. :/
I've discussed this on here before, but after my heart attack, I was dismissed from my PhD program at the end of year 4 for being unlikely to complete the degree within 5 years, a timeline that literally no one else in the history of the program had ever been held to, or even achieved, while healthy
We need to be able to see that the line "accommodations have gone too far" is an expression of the ableist notion that disabled students do not belong in higher ed. Its fundamentally an anxiety about the fact that disabled students get an "advantage" over abled students.

It's the last month of 2025! And thank goodness. In numerology, 2025 is a 9 year, the end of a cycle. The culmination of the previous 8 years and it can be kind of a mixed bag. Globally, either a sense of satisfaction and optimism for the new or fear of change a desperation to turn back. 👀 But time

One point that may have been lost: I’ve never seen this ad before.

It’s only when I searched for Mexican folk music tonight that YouTube started running it.

Google’s surveillance technology has enabled the government to selectively terrorize specific groups in service of white supremacy.
Listening to Mexican folk music on Youtube and they're running this horrible ad urging people to self-deport.

Fuck you Kristi Noem, and fuck you Google for taking her money.

Cool, why to use taxes money to persecute criminals, when we can use taxes money from hard working immigrants, to arrest other hard working immigrants who are also paying taxes? 🤷🏼‍♂️

We should ban selling of firewood in urban markets where wood fires are lit for ambience, not heat. Supermarkets sell firewood at supermarkets throughout LA. Denver banned wood burning except for old houses that lack other heat 50 years ago. So can LA.

If you're only following a few hundred people, and you haven't yet posted more than a few hundred times, I'm sorry but of *course* your bluesky feed is going to feel quiet! People need to think back to when they first joined twitter and how it felt like shouting into the void.

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.

tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

🧵⬇️
The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them

A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

“[Eventually] humanities depts will be forced to accept AI-authored assignments, as part of revised university policy to cooperate with these billionaires. It's already happening, and our response needs to be decisive. Because our students' ability to *think* is at stake.”

really important thread ⬇️
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.
