If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career
The University of Oklahoma has removed an instructor who was accused by a student of religious discrimination over a failing grade on a psychology paper in which she cited the Bible and argued that promoting a “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.” https://cnn.it/4b6g3rd

Pretty frustrated that "we're going to make the planet uninhabitable" isn't enough of an argument against AI that we have to make umpteen more.

Welcome to my 2025 novella recommendation thread! For the rest of the year, I am going to recommend novellas in the science fiction, fantasy, and horror genres for the consideration of Hugo nominators. And, crucially, these are all going to be novellas NOT published by Tor.

News orgs haven't figured out how to target young adults yet (or don't care to). We don't really teach digital literacy in schools anymore so they don't know how to evaluate a source. We give them ipads as little kids and let them figure it out. It's no surprise, then, they don't make good choices.

Not the fault of the kids! Gen Z is operating in a system where most local media outlets have been decimated into nothingness. Most mainstream news outlets are highly biased (regardless of what those news media charts say) and are actively worsening politics.

Under fascism, a central role of women is to provide sex (and children). That’s women’s “natural” role. One of men’s “natural” roles is to sire children.
Thus, attacks on asexual people.
Rowling would likely deny such an explanation, but the lineage she and other transphobes draw from is clear.

Aa a neurodivergent queer with asthma, gotta say, it doesn't feel great to get called a dire threat to society.
This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”.
This is a manifesto against disability.
This is the language of eugenics.

Right. The kid has the card. The kid is my patron. My job is not to enforce parental dictates. We as library workers have got to stop using the language of book banners in our resistance.
It is none of my business as a librarian to countermand you, the parent, in your controlling directives over your child's reading.
But when that child is in my library, I have no duty at all to act as your deputy.

Oh god, this. "I don't hate you because you're autistic; that would make me ableist. I hate you because you use big words, you're too direct, you don't fall in line with the hierarchy of my group, and you have ✨bad vibes✨ despite never doing anything to me."
Those vibes are autism, my good bitch.

Ok apropos of ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, I regret to inform you that if something is a rabies vector we HAVE to check it for rabies if it bites a human, because rabies is 99.999998% fatal.
And the only way to check for rabies is the brain and spinal cord. Yeah. teamtrash.substack.com/p/animals-do...
