There were 250 people in the audience, at the biggest available room for our #awp26 panel, Resisting AI in Writing and Teaching. It was invigorating; hearing about how writing instructors are pushing back against their institutions was inspiring. Thanks to my co-panelists Carmen and Umair.

"Hegseth’s vision of the American military is preoccupied with an ideal of the male form—one that’s a kind of modern mishmash of Spartan imagery and homoerotic fascist machismo. But that is only one facet of the Trumpian right’s fixation on the body." www.liberalcurrents.com/pervert-poli...
