An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

This is horrifying -- I started following this guy who walks through AI video and "tells" / sometimes best practices. It doesn't mean I can tell necessarily, but it did help me stop assuming things and actually go check stuff: www.instagram.com/showtoolsai/
This person is one hundred percent correct and it’s scary af. We will never “media literacy” our way out of this as a society. We are about to reap the whirlwind when it comes to misinformation, disinformation, and informational warfare.

The story trope I find least relatable is when a character, who is in a life-threatening situation, falls asleep in an uncomfortable position and doesn't wake up until the full sun is blasting their face. If I have an AM flight, I haven't slept for two nights worrying about if I'll wake up on time.

This thread. Also: at my (upper/mid) level, all I'm hearing is "make your own thing." I've been doing that for 20 years. It's been a nice way to supplement my scattered income from selling scripts. But to make something, you need to pay the people helping you (at a certain point). So, who funds it?
Said with love but there is a tone deafness in the "just write your spec!" advice that seems to be totally ignored in the current climate.
It works if you're repped. If reps are taking new clients. If places are buying A LOT. If rooms are staffing unknowns/lower levels. If not? It's a platitude.

Where to watch the shows I’ve worked on:
Monster High – in the US, you can stream all the episodes from the Nickelodeon series on Paramount+! You can also get the DVDs (available on Amazon, Target, or check your local library)

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

I’ll also point out pretty much 99% of the original DC Super Hero Girls series she worked on is up on YouTube for free!!
You just gotta track down the TV special, “Super Hero High” somewhere.
Or buy the “Legends of Atlantis” DVD where it’s a special feature!
