yesterday I listened to some undergraduate writing tutors present some research on AI in the writing center and I was especially struck by this slide:
I just have to hope that our contribution to this discussion will be heard by faculty and understand that we, as students, do not want a university and a world in which AI does everything for us.

I'm sorry but if you don't want to develop the criteria by which you're assessing students then you shouldn't be teaching
Julie York, a computer science teacher at South Portland High School, has long incorporated new technology into her teaching, and has found generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini to be "incredibly useful." She has used it to create voiceovers for presentations when she was tired, to help make rubrics and lesson plans and to build a chatbot that can answer questions during class, which she says hells her balance the amount of time she spends with each student. "I don't think there's any educator who wakes up in the morning, and is like, 'oh my God, I hope I can make a rubric today.' I just don't think you're going to find any,' she said. "And there's no teacher who isn't tired."

god this one slaps so hard
God is only a society of angels in the solitude of an office, each seated at a desk, before a typewriter, their wings drapes delicately over the backs of their chairs, angels who long ago sent me epistles, which reach me only now, because since the rebellion heaven has been understaffed, and their postal service is defunct . . . but that isn't what I want to say . . . None of this is what I want to say . . . it's crude and rickety . . . I'm sorry, I'm afraid, who knows why . . . When I am afraid I ramble, and rambling saves me, in every form of punctuation there is hope, except for the period, so I ramble, I do not want to be hopeless . . . I want the impossible . . .

Oh, but it wasn't only my father, it was the silence . . . no one told me I could wear lipstick and so I was silent, because they did not give me words to use, I had to make them up. That's why I wrote such crude and unbalanced phrases. I had to make them up myself. There was no story for a boy in lipsticks. So--so every time I loved lipstick my stomach aches and the only way to make it stop aching was to prove that boys do not love lipstick, and so because I was a boy I did not love lipstick either. But all of a sudden I loved lipstick and because no one told me I could love lipstick, I thought that meant I could not love lipstick, and the more I loved it, the more I would die. I thought that the day I surrendered to that love would be the day I would no longer be anything at all--not even a butterfly. And butterflies barely exist. Butterflies are the residue of our dreams.

truly no one is doing it like Aurora Mattia
But I understand my pussy to be a peacock feather, because it has forgone its prior function in order to obtain a different function, that of artifice: or more precisely, communication. I understand my pussy to be a corpse flower, because it asserts the allure rot: You won't have any children with me, okay? But while the adaptations performed by the peacock and the corpse flower are considered natural, mine is considered artificial--because you have forgotten that we are not so far from birds and flowers. Remember with me.

alt text because I can't believe they just admitted it like that
"I voted for him, and he's the one who's doing this," Minton told Mazzei. "I thought he was going to do good things. He's not hurting the people he needs to be hurting."

one of them just found this in a student scrapbook from 1926
