Absolutely brutal thread. "A.i." in education is a fucking plague and anyone who pushes it on professors and students is betraying education itself. An act of abuse and betrayal to push this fucking cheating, lying, bullshit machine on anyone, ESPECIALLY in an educational environment.

I hate moving but I really enjoy telling the cat all about it ahead of time.

If I were an action hero, this is what I’d say to the bad guy before the kill shot.

I've taught PERSEPOLIS (book & movie) more times than I can count. Two epic masterpieces, but, more than that, two texts that find their way to young people. I've never had a class that didn't *get* PERSEPOLIS, and that's a miracle of its own. Satrapi's voice and imagination are so alive. RIP.

Congratulations to @fiddlehd.bsky.social managing editor Ian LeTourneau on this well-deserved win.

Rest In Power

"The short term goal of education, in my opinion, is to fight deskilling. The long term goal: to ensure the persistence of these skills to allow students to arrive to the world in which AI will be normalized without being so cognitively incapacitated that they cannot have a meaningful life."

My last of this set is a Smilodon or Saber-toothed Cat for the Nucleus Portland Salut! 11 coaster show This was probably the most fun out of the set to draw, I always enjoy getting to traditionally paint creatures with patterned coats and feathers so this was no different

this is why I find climate dooming so frustrating there is no point - none - at which throwing up your hands and going “well we’re fucked” is the correct response every tenth of a degree matters and can make a big difference and is worth fighting for

Happy pub day to Nebulas from @meghankempgee.bsky.social! 🌠 Poems that look at our little world from space: chbooks.com/Books/N/Nebu...

Great new essay on sports and belonging by @jessicawluther.com , including a lovely mention of Come Out and Play! Don’t miss it:

"All together, these books press us to question what we take for granted and to open our hearts and minds to new possibilities. This is something that all who truly care about athletics and justice must do." www.texasobserver.org/trans-athlet...

Right at the end, though, is a shout out to Come Out and Play: The Queer Sports Project and I don't want people to miss it! Edited by @meghankempgee.bsky.social and @meganpraz.bsky.social. You should get your hands on a copy ASAP. stackeddeckpress.com/product/come...

This is a review essay featuring three books on trans-inclusion in sport: @katiebarnes.bsky.social's Fair Play, Harrison Browne and @rachelbrowne.ca's Let Us Play, and Ellie Roscher and Anna Baethe's Fair Game. I recommend them all! I recommend reading them all together.

NEBULAS from Meghan Kemp-Gee is out on Tuesday! Learn more and pre-order your copy: chbooks.com/Books/N/Nebu...

This is the first ever video footage of the larval stage of an extremely rare Groenveld’s Stingfish (Minous groeneveldi). Shot on scuba, over very deep water, far offshore, while drifting with the plankton, at night. #groenveldsstingfish #blackwaterdiving #larvalfish #tulamben #stonefish

Here's a little thread about cellos... ... and a poem I wrote for Yo-Yo Ma! Thank you to the editorial & design team at @coachhousebooks.bsky.social for laying this out so beautifully on the page... I tried to build these stanzas to look like a cellist's fingers in motion, and feel like breathing.

COME OUT AND PLAY is a 2026 Eisner nominee!!! So proud to be part of this glorious testament to queer athletes & sports stories. If you're an industry professional, please vote for us for Best Anthology! @queersportsproject.bsky.social @stackeddeckpress.bsky.social @meganpraz.bsky.social

Forget space, forget the solar system, the ocean is bigger than your brain can comprehend

It's the week before my new book NEBULAS comes out and I wanted to share some of the (many) musical inspirations for this cosmic collection. First up, a poem inspired by Dolly Parton, the Butterfly Nebula, and summer love. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jktM...

Check out these updates! @alllitupcanada.bsky.social's POETS RESIST interview series is really neat:

How bout this question to Cdns: While you’re squeezed by high oil & gas prices to heat your home and fuel your car, would you like to give your hard earned dollars to rich oil & gas companies to clean up their pollution & buy another pipeline while they give their massive profits to shareholders?

This is about writing & AI but could be about being a visual artist as well. "Do you actually want to learn how to write, or just pretend to do so?" www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Look, the Republican Party is pushing white supremacist policies to destroy our ability to change the system through democratic electoral politics. So it's time to stop giving their billionaire benefactors our money. Cancel ONE THING from a billionaire today. You can do it! #CancelParty

How I feel every time I think about Comixology

This is such a great angle, and so well executed. We're only beginning to see the consequences of this. Must read.
