I just refused to fill out a form for @stanford.edu healthcare to record me during a visit. They make it seem like it is a requirement for care.

At #4S2025 questioning all things "modern" including the earl grey ps- come to our sessions on Saturday about language technologies!

Academic books are notorious for boring endings, but @emilymbender.bsky.social and @alexhanna.bsky.social hit it out of the park! The last chapter of #TheAICon is full of actionable (pro-labor!) steps for standing up to Big Tech's hype. Fight silliness with silliness!

A reminder to @aaup.org faculty to be allies to your grad student worker unions! It has been devastating to see @stanford.edu "justice-oriented" aaup faculty and deans complaining about and belittling union movements on campus.

I am so excited to host a panel with @ajalvero.bsky.social at #4S2025! If you're around next Saturday, join us for discipline-blending sessions and conversation under the theme of "Writing Things Down: Textual Technologies and their Consequences." @4sweb.bsky.social

An #AI story: While going through #TSA at @flysfo.bsky.social I noticed that the facial recognition was not working on the Black man in front of me. The agent asked him again and again to get closer.

The world is a mess. Need a laugh? Check out @ajalvero.bsky.social and my Linguistic Affordances Framework (LAF) for the social study of language technologies! Jokes aside, we hope this will help researchers make sense of social changes associated with new technologies. doi.org/10.1177/0894...

Grateful to @stanfordhai.bsky.social and @facct.bsky.social for highlighting our work!

Professor Thomas Dee analyzed attendance data from five school districts in the southern Central Valley and found a spike in daily absences this past January and February. These districts, which serve over 100,000 students, saw considerable jumps in all age groups. stanford.io/3HVr6Hb #EduSky

"Today nearly all states that have sales taxes offer data centers exemptions on computers, wires, air-conditioning units and, in some cases, even the energy required to keep it all running." www.cnbc.com/2025/06/20/t...

thanks Shaily!!

Flattered and shocked for our paper to receive the #facct2025 best paper award.

Brilliant presentation by @sepehrvakil.bsky.social and Mahdi Ganjavi on their new @mitpress.bsky.social book about engineering activism during the Iranian revolution. They close with this picture and caption: "faculty resists against state control over the campus"

Many are lauding the potential of ChatGPT to "help" people with their writing. Looking at writing not as a deficit to be fixed, but as a site of social interaction between writers *and* evaluators, our #facct2025 paper explores how this played out in a real life situation. arxiv.org/abs/2505.08127
