It was good to co-author alongside @clarekelly.bsky.social & Caitríona Leahy & with the input from Harun Šiljak & Norah Campbell. We are clearly not the only ones thinking like this, both within Trinity & beyond, so let's build community to #resistAI

Opinion: We are lecturers in Trinity College Dublin. It is our responsibility to resist AI
Even if all the known issues were magically resolved, we would still not want our students to use GenAI

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

My Portlania cousin says the crocheting & knitting across generations continues unabated. Two patrol cars so completely enveloped the occupants were unable to escape. I'd like to see a pic of the demonstrating witches & unicorns, pls. BTW, a group of frogs is an army.

This is actually crochet, but this is what the nanas in Portland are doing to claim their city. Mark your territory nanas.

And now, which sore loser will move to deport all Venezuelans? PSA: Fairly sure the prize goes to ppl w/ track records of on-going work for peace. You know, records that don't include demonizing opposition. Or invading cities, weaponizing the DoJ, having kidnapping children & destroying families.

I disagree there. He's principled enough lunatic, imo, that he sometimes gets things right & causes some pain. Very rarely, but I think it's happened.

It’s SHAMEFUL to watch US Senators vote NO on the War Powers resolution & give this administration a blank check to bomb whoever the hell they want. The current conduct in the Caribbean is unconstitutional and unacceptable!

Time and time again, these cowards bend the knee.
