Currently reading. Currently terrified.

Writing Center hoodies! I've never had the budget for swag, but my department bought these for us.

Because of AI, I now have to check all my students' sources in their research papers to make sure they're not hallucinated. When I clicked on one of the journals, I was informed that I was a suspected AI, and had to do a Captcha to get access. Does it keep spiraling from here? #writingstudies

Early morning writing fail lately, but just two more 8:30 classes next week and none next semester, so I am getting back into the groove! Finally figured out what was wrong with one of my last chapters last night. #5AmWritersClub #AmWriting

The current contents of my bookbag, reflecting just a few of my interests.

This is a terrific explainer on Bluesky and how it works and why, and I recommend reading it for a good basic understanding of the place. "People are figuring out that they aren't morally obligated to listen to assholes on social media. And Bluesky is actively helping them do that."

@phillewis.bsky.social can you boost this?

Sid is gone. We're going to miss our fangy darling.

I've followed and been followed by so many interesting new people as well as old friends over here. But now the onslaught of fake men, all those clearly fictional silver foxes who are surgeons or high up in the military, has begun.

To remember!

Super excited to get my hands on this book!!! My chapter, in it "Black/African science fiction and imaginative resistance," argues that B/A Sci Fi can be used in conjunction with legal history to reveal how the law facilitates disparate allocations of time with material consequences.

I'm revising my project and just completely trashed one of my last chapters to replace it with something that works so much better! #5AMWritersClub #historicalfiction #mystery

Tried this 11 months ago. Giving it another try! #5AMWritersClub

This morning, I was unsure if my PATH train to NJ was on a holiday schedule. I decided to take a cab to my train. As I stood on 1st Avenue, a woman jumped in front of me, with her hand out. As she crossed the street, I saw her pointing in my direction, showing a taxi on the far side I was there.

Joining in for the first time! #5AMWritersclub
