I was super fortunate the past few semesters of my teaching to be teaching queer lit/book history/film/media courses to students who were really interested in the subject material and who understood the ethical issues around using AI to write about queer people, but I imagine English 101 is a mess.

I’m thankful now to have instructional opportunities that don’t involve grading/assessment because I’ve heard from my bf and others that AI slop is at an all-time high (though part of me does miss teaching actual courses this semester!)

1)You may remember the articles criticizing liberal students for their hesitancy to make friends with conservative students—alleging that they were less open-minded than their conservative counterparts.

ICE is doing a hell of a lot of harm in the Chicago area *right now.* I don’t mean to trivialize the national guard stuff, it absolutely is an irresponsible escalation, but the guard-centric convo around this really does understate what’s going on without any guardsmen.
