Good writing in the late 19th century is always defined like a fancy cocktail dress or some bougie party with expensive champagne. No one knows what it is, but they know it when they see it.

Most people outside academia can't understand how discipline specific research is helpful. Academia can communicate it 1000 different ways; it's not going to help them understand. The media & federal government must showcase academia's value. Some research can take decades w/out any known value

Universities need to create a policy that punishes bad faith actors like this. Stop letting these people set up faculty with manufactured outrage. No one is going to apply to work at a university that allows this to happen. This one-sided accountability crap isn't working.

My response to claims that AI can do all these things that help people is show me the evidence. Where exactly is AI helping people solve real problems? Having AI tell you what to pack for a road trip is not an acceptable answer.

Instead of healthcare and education, we're going to get golden warships. Happy holidays!

The continued erasing of tenure goldengatexpress.org/114511/campu...

This highlights a massive problem I'm seeing across all institutions, both secondary & post secondary. Put AI in front of every student on every platform, take a cash grab, & then figure out all the dangers as we go. Instead of moving very slowly and carefully.

I would second this claim and add that real research is painstakingly tedious and requires reading and analyzing over and over until something comes to the surface. There are no real research discoveries without closely reading everything dozens of times. That is the only way.

They want to cut funding for higher ed cause it's not vocational. What if a university was judged by how many political criminals they graduate? Like they lose funding every time a grad tries to coup. I know of an ivy league law school that has graduated a ton of the worst humans we've ever seen.

CFP for special issue of _Academic Labor: Research and Artistry_ on "Recognizing the Invisible and Expected: Art & Engagement as Critical Response" ALRA is a cool journal; you should read it if you're interested in academic labor even if you don't submit for this special issue.

AI did not take everyone's jobs in 8 months. The federal government cut millions of jobs that require advanced degrees and began to erase middle class work in a service economy that is not creating professional jobs across sectors.

There are like two papers in every field no one has read but get cited because they've been summarized, analyzed, and quoted 100,000 times across the field's scholarship. And even then, most of the serious academics have read those two papers.

Many professors in red states are being forced into conservative fascism simply because they work in a state that became a dictatorship under this administration. It's very unfortunate. Professors were simply doing what they do and now they are stuck in outrageous situations.

If the victims have already come out and made themselves public, why do they need more time to redact victims from the files?

It's important to note that there could easily be, and should be, more than enough jobs for academics. For example, the federal government found $billions to invest in AI and bail out Argentina. That's just 2 examples of tax money not being invested in the American people.

The whole point of being a teaching assistant is to learn how to teach, which requires yrs of learning pedagogical practices. Removing TA positions is removing a professional development opportunity to gain experience teaching. WTF is the point of anything then www.theinformation.com/articles/can...

Rejection in academia has to be a motivator or you'll never make it. It happens too often to take personally. Find the takeaways and keep growing. It's a learning opportunity to get better.

People still don't know that disinformation is the primary business model for social media. Lots of clicks, likes, and shares. It's a disinplatform.

Disinformation and lying is a core problem in American culture, which trains AI.

We all know meetings are definitely labor and part of a work cycle. Claiming meetings are not work is a wild attempt to erase value from labor so it can't be compensated. It's also a faulty correlation between less meetings & more productivity. fortune.com/2025/12/15/s...

The only value we have now as educators is to provide a truly human experience. Read student work closely. Offer critical human feedback students can't get from AI. Be a human completely engaged in student learning. That will be difficult to replicate.

The most frustrating thing abt what's happening in academia is no one outside of academia understands what's happening. It's being dismantled w new funding paradigms that limit access to money. Grad programs are being defunded, cutting off the tiny pipeline to becoming a researcher or professor.

This is what it's like teaching writing in college and dealing with AI now. All the AI people think everything is amazing. It's annoying. This machine is stupid. futurism.com/artificial-i...

It's wild that this country will not acknowledge that it has a very serious pedophile problem that is deeply woven into the fabric of government and goes far beyond Epstein.

Faculty resistance to alternative grading does not come from a concern for improving learning & assessment. The resistance comes from deeply held beliefs abt surveiling & policing learning (not based in evidence or research) that are encultrated in conservative education narratives.

And then tomorrow this publication outlet will push for AI in schools, which further decreases interest in reading and majors that assign books.

When AI displaces you from creating, it also disrupts you from understanding. Process is thinking.

There is a law in the bill that removes funding for college programs that don't lead to employment wages higher than a high school graduate and it's called financial value transparency. It's a gigantic scam. Never mind all the jobs that require a degree but pay terrible wages.

ACA subsidies will not be saved and no one will ever see the real Epstein files. That's literally the main priorities of our government.

When AI displaces you from creating, it also disrupts you from understanding. Process is thinking.

YHC seeks applicants for our open Assistant Professor of English position, preferably with a focus in Brit Lit. More here: www.higheredjobs.com/faculty/deta.... Apply by January 10, 2026.

The party of comic sans evokes times new roman.

Stripping away DEI is a direct attempt to dismantle gen ed in colleges. It has become easier to bash gen ed under the anti woke gov. Gen ed was designed to bring a wide range of students from a wide range of backgrounds together to learn abt things they would otherwise never know existed.

Hey, ChatGPT, pay for childcare to watch the baby. And grab diapers and wipes on the way home. Feed the baby in the middle of the night every 3-4 hours will ya.

Be just like Dr Karin and don't use AI to leave comments on student writing. It's offensive and wrong.

Where does someone's assets and finances go when they get deported? Many of these people who they are illegally deporting have homes, bank accounts, and assets.

It's wild to live in a country and not trust any part of the federal government. I literally don't trust anyone in this administration and wouldn't take advice or do anything they said.

It's also abt teaching how to recognize networked disinformation. It's honestly not that hard to teach people how all this works. The problem is getting people to listen, training educators how to teach about it, and embedding the teaching of it in school systems that are becoming over regulated.

People should understand that this is how they INTEND to use AI once it's embedded into everything. Policing, policing, policing, policing, policing, policing, policing, policing, policing, policing, policing, policing, policing, policing, policing, policing, policing, policing, policing, policing.

Why do college coaches get so much money for sucking at their job? It's unprecedented. No other jobs rewards ineptness w retirement money. I would be the worst professor ever if they gave me $53 million to quit. The broken part of college sports is paying $millions to fire a terrible coach.

It's wild cause FIFA and the trump admin have a lot in common. They both love to extort as a means to control or reshape a narrative about how they extort.

They need to release this video to the public

They're going to displace climate change narratives in this country w disinformation unlike anything we've ever seen. It's going to be very very bad. Anything that interferes w profits will be targeted with disinformation. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/03/b...

This algorithm also very quietly devalues course work that does not directly lead to specific types of employment.

Considering a book project because it is taking so long to get anything published in a journal. Geez. Higher ed is falling apart.

It's kind of wild that they commit murder and crime in the name of a fake drug crisis but also pardon drug dealers.

Using ChatGPT to plan a road trip is the weakest marketing narrative I've seen for AI. Really? That's it? Lol.

Conservative defending/devaluing college has paid off. This administration's final death blow to hire ed is ending college in America as we knew it. The elimination of millions of middle class government jobs that require a degree is part of the plan. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Erasing the history of the insurrection is not going to end well. You can't have a country that allows elected leaders to cover up crimes in the open without consequences. That's a broken country. People have to face ramifications for trying to coup or it's not a real country. This will happen again

They're deprofressionalizing education and educators so they can let AI take over. Dissolve the department of education and force states to let unregulated AI take over everything it can.
