We do this a bit in the Netherlands with strict rubrics, regular review together about what we think those rubrics mean, dual ("four-eye") grading of all major assessments, etc. It's easier because it's a small art MFA program, but it does help ensure more uniformity.

I noticed that as well. I wish the artist would respond as I've mentioned it in other places. It puts a very bad taste in my mouth.

There are literally millions of websites around the world that this project could work for. Choosing, out of those millions of websites, Mumsnet, *says something*. And it's not something pretty.

I mean, one just has to visit the feminism forum there to be slapped by tons of virulent anti-trans hate (just did it right now to confirm that indeed Mumsnet continues to hate us), so I have to ask...out of the millions of sites on the web, why choose Mumsnet as part of the project?

Why Mumsnet, of all places? One of the most transphobic sites on the web? (See, eg, www.vice.com/en/article/m... ).
How an Online Forum for Moms Became a Toxic Hotbed of Transphobia
Mumsnet boasts of its political influence and hosts chats with Hillary Clinton and UK politicians. So how has it become ground zero for British transphobia?

Whoa, didn't know that about Picardo. Legend is criminally underrated. I know it has to compete against Labyrinth, but yeah, Legend is just over-the-top 80s fantasy schmaltz and I'm all there for it.

@erininthemorning.com is it just me, or did they change back to the invalidation language?

This short story by him is I think the best encapsulation of our times. I remember reading it 30 years ago while wandering through a university library as a teenager, and it has stuck with me ever since: www.jstor.org/stable/44340...

Note that I would be saying the same thing about travel to the US for a conference right now.

As the deadline is upcoming, I feel it incumbent to make a public statement about this, that if you are LGBTQ+ and considering attending ISEA in Dubai, you are putting your life in danger.
October 26, 2025 at 5:16 PM
I have reached out to a member of the ISEA board for clarification, and to ask if they would consider canceling ISEA in Dubai, or at least advising LGBTQ+ people to not attend. I sent that message a month ago and have not received a response yet.

Transgender people, mostly trans women, have been detained just for traveling through airports in the UAE. To host a "diverse" conference in a nation where LGBTQ+ activity is punishable by death is...just mind-boggingly tone-deaf.

Indeed, depends on the country. In the NL where I live now I pay around €165/mo for the insurance (which is a pretty standard amount) and have a yearly deductible ("eigen risico", or "own risk) of €380/year. I can't overstate how important the lower healthcare costs were to my decision to move here.
