GOAT— HORSES 50th Anniversary
“The story of women’s liberation isn’t a straight line; the state of women’s rights is blurry and contradictory. Things are moving backward and forward at the same time. There are no clean demarcations between feminism and its backlash and the backlash to the backlash, between progress and regress.”
Wrote about the backlash to the backlash to the backlash to the backlash there are no waves we are swimming through circular currents and why we’re not on the Faludi style backlash of the right (& center and left’s) dreams: www.thecut.com/article/why-...
Me Too Forever
Why the backlash was so short-lived.

I fear the future when the students use the LLM to write the thing and the prof uses the LLM to grade the thing, and the prof uses an LLM to write their tenure narrative, and the external reviewer uses an LLM to write their letter, and higher ed is just a bunch of LLMs talking to each other.

Hollywood loves our trauma. Black actors are more likely to win awards when playing roles tied to slavery, servitude, or trauma.
Lupita Nyong’o opens up about what happened after her Oscar win. Hollywood kept offering her more parts as an enslaved woman, pushing the same stereotype again and again.

Alternate take: the *vast majority* of us have NOT used AI in our classes.
About 25 percent of faculty members have used AI to save time in creating more engaging in-class activities or generating quizzes and other assessments. Yet talking about AI use is taboo in some quarters. https://chroni.cl/4rjLxQp
Why Professors Are Using AI in Course Design
Some believe in the technology’s promises; others are simply desperate for help.

I think it’s pretty clear at this point that one of the main impacts of LLMs is to disrupt thinking: to make it so that far too many people never properly learn how to do it, and then to control the output so there are thoughts that people never learn how to think.

Looking for an alternative to that presentist, sausage-fest 100 Best Comedies list? May I recommend Cinema’s First Nasty Women, a collection of 99 silent-era films of feminist protest, slapstick and mayhem.

There’s nothing like a circle of women who want the best for each other. Women who strategize. Women who mediate between one another and manipulate the world with a unified, equitable objective. You were probably taught that this isn’t our nature. Society stole that from you. We are the best at it.
