Jon Oringer, founder and executive chairman of Shutterstock @shutterstock.com, is trying to recruit comic and graphic novel creators over on LinkedIn to a new AI platform that he’s building. Feel free to let him (and them) know what you think of this, and never use Shutterstock again ✌🏻

I hope that my academic legacy (if there will be one) is that #disabled folks understand intrinsically that their lived experiences matter, and trump any pathologization, medicalization or gov definition of our value. Your stories matter. They are vital to the success of our beautiful community.

AI is so boring Got new discourse about using AI to read drafts of papers, but reading peers' papers is part of academic culture? And also it's nice to read other people's papers, and learn some things AI apologists really do want us just to never interact

Every eight seconds I think about the Times New Roman empire.

C'est plus difficile à trouver les romans en Louisianese français que la poésie Nous sommes trop dramatique pour long form

"Stop! It is time for peace! Sit at the table of dialogue and mediation, not at the table where rearmament is planned and deadly actions are decided!" —Pope Leo XIV https://www.ncronline.org/vatican/pope-leo-issues-fiery-plea-peace-prayer-vigil-enough-war

J'sus pas choqué par ni le Pape ni le gouvernment Américain. Mais le Pape m'a souvenu de les sœuers dans ma jeunesse - pendant la guerre contre Iraq elles me disaient que les fabriquers de la guerre ont pas l'honte et ils vont abîmer le monde pour la puissance. Elles sont correct. Merci Sœur Pat 💜

I got adopted by some cats and now my students know a new way to distract me - ask about the cats

Realizing an anthology on disability and anti-authoritarianism might be the way to go Now how to develop an anthology...

Turns out my biggest lesson from getting a PhD was I'm super bad at a lot of stuff

I jokingly asked my fiancé what would he do if I was abducted by aliens, and the fact he did not say 'contact ancient aliens' because it's not ancient was deeply upsetting

It's wild how any time a disabled person says MAID and other euthanasia policies in an ableist society might not be ideal and instead we should prioritize on making a society where disabled people can flourish, the response is that we're being paternalistic

So I guess it was either World War III or drag queens reading books to our children.

Budgets are moral documents. They tell us who matters. #NovaScotia #NSPoli #NSBudget

You don't watch the news for a few days and all of a sudden it is like Iraq all over again sans the Dick Cheney machinations These machinations seem to be mostly Christian eschatology? Is that why people are mad at the Pope?

Going from academic to trade publishing is a rough time

Why is it snowing again

Being a DM for a game in Louisiana French with no one who has played is great since no one knows I am terrible

Rep. Al Green was holding a sign that reads "Black People Aren't Apes" at the #SOTU:

'Dr Valentine you have ADD?' 'Mes amis it's called joie de vivre'

Getting an r&r is great but I did forget how researching MAID and reading about eugenics was not great for my mental health

I kinda miss George Santos

Goddammit it is time to rewatch some Mr Rogers

Shout gotta be my favorite karaoke song

Giving myself psychic damage reading Project 2025's argument around how protecting people with disabilities means we have to end abortion access and make the Office of Civil Rights no longer investigate discrimination against trans people

SCOTUS is embarrassing

The author of Trump v United States, will not in fact save anyone from authoritarianism The 6-3 decision may be a good one, but never forget their judicial history of supporting authoritarianism, overturning rights, and being generally terrible

Come see me at Cavalier Books in Lafayette Louisiana February 28th 5pm-7pm! cavalierhousebooks.com/event/2026-0...

Incredible time on Gremloe's stream www.twitch.tv/gremloe

Si on parlerait pas français, on est qui? Les cadiens les creoles? On devien simplement Amèricains. L'americainisation était violent et plus important - raciste. Les cadiens ce qu'il boudaient à cause de leur culture perdre, mais ils disaient les trucs plein de haïn de bad bunny. C'est racist.

My laptop doesn't have French accent capabilities. Mais - in honor of Mardi Gras - my favorite Cajun phrase is Faites quelque chose trop amusant/scandaloux/n'importe quoi ce que les prêtres aura jaloux de toi Y'all better earn tes chatiments
