Cultural and environmental historian of Canada and the Sub/Arctic. Author: *A Cold Colonialism: Modern Exploration and the Canadian North.* Co-editor: *Made Modern: Science and Technology in Canadian History.* Now researching energy and queer histories.
If movements are ok (as opposed to environmentalism specifically) then I’d suggest @melaniekiechle.bsky.social’s Smell Detectives! Also @finisdunaway.bsky.social’s Defending the Arctic Refuge. And I third (?) The First Green Wave; it’s great.

- your intellectual property is being stolen
- you are serving the bottom line of private equity as you undermine your own job security
- it gives admin more reasons to lay off front line staff

Even if we would stipulate that the *only* purpose of college is vocational training (ugh) if you think you, at 18 years old, not only know for sure what your future career will be but also know better than all the professors at a college what skills you will need for that career, why bother?

generative AI in particular is a racket that gets us coming and going -- ripping off work, sucking up time and space at our workplaces, and ultimately eliminating jobs for people like us and our students, with our employers' slobbery blessing
