To be clear, a standard part of job applications are providing sample syllabi - often a whole portfolio of them - because *your syllabi* are part of the value proposition of hiring *you* and not *someone else.*
Now the university wants to steal your materials, then sack and replace you.

I think a great rule of thumb for a writer's org to start with is: would this implementation of AI work if they hadn't stolen all of our authors' books?
spell check should be good! we can all exhale!

"can't trans kids just wait?" "can't trans people take a backseat until we win?"
that's not how time works.
there's a thread in here with a story. it's my story. it's not a pleasant story. there are at least 3 more years of trump. think about how *your* body changed between 13 & 16, 15 & 18.🧵

a presidential term is 4 years. between 14 & 18, i tried to die 4 times because i couldn't stop puberty. i got addicted to drugs. sexually assaulted. had an eating disorder. dropped out of college. i was unhoused.
i survived by accident.
there aren't enough trans people to fight & win alone.🧵

what should you do? call your senators.
what if they're GOP? call. some house GOP voted against both.
what should you say? try one of these scripts. make it your own! they're less than a minute with built-in bail outs. yes, you should threaten your vote.

![FOR DEMOCRATS
my name is [your name]. two anti-transgender healthcare bills passed the house with democrat help—HR 498 and HR 3492. i’m calling today to tell senator [your senator’s name] to vote no and publicly commit to a no vote right now.
it shouldn’t be in question that any democrat would vote no on a law that says “people donald trump doesn’t like can’t get life-saving healthcare,” but here we are. no one knows where democrats stand on anything right now. the senator needs to stand up and speak up.
[you can bail out here at 30 seconds if you need to!]
every 2025 election proved you don’t need to compromise with bigots on transgender rights to win votes. not in virginia or ohio or kentucky. it’s wrong, it doesn’t work, and it alienates loyal voters. both of these bills are a no.
if senator [your senator’s name] votes yes on either of these, [he or she] loses my vote going forward. when these anti trans bills come up for a vote it absolutely must be a no from every democrat in the chamber.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2lzahebnas6od6j6jfydwst7/bafkreigmuw3qponpk5lflrqbhytzrivbrz4bpehyaxpepqdlrfjsgvdvg4@jpeg)
![FOR REPUBLICANS
my name is [your name] and i’m calling today to tell senator [your senator’s name] to vote no on two bills that passed the house december 17th and 18th: HR 498 and HR 3492.
both of these bills take away healthcare for a whole group of people. the government shouldn’t have that kind of power. this is overreach. this is an absolute no.
[you can bail out here at 20 seconds if you need to!]
the government doesn’t belong in any doctor’s office. if senator [your senator’s name] votes yes on either of these, how can i trust [him or her] to not come into my doctor’s office next? this is wrong. a yes vote loses my vote going forward.
it’s absolutely a no on HR 498 and 3492 when they come up for a vote. thank you.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2lzahebnas6od6j6jfydwst7/bafkreidskeonrvoffp3upmeg5cqckmrxqx6c2ji2mwfayud74q6ovfuzdi@jpeg)
