My best ever "home" office view? Probably.

Family holiday time is over and I'm.on a the next few days before starts in earnest again.

This might be the most beautiful place I've ever tried to write a paper. And it's actually going surprisingly well too.
The polar day helps in this case ...

Academic associations: when you are looking for graduate students to do work for a conference, perhaps don't offer an honorarium equivalent to less than minimum wage in 12 out of 13 provinces and territories.

That's not even counting the unknown (uncompensated?) time for the mandatory orientation session.

I swear I try to produce good content. Perhaps I need to be more intentional and strategic. https://youtu.be/F8UC7f6D-9Y?si=0afOmETBU3fRPjTz

I really hope the person who reported me is seeing this diatribe because why yes, yes they did hit a nerve.

@drcaberry as a follower of yours, I can't say I've ever thought you are posting spam.

The fact somebody has written to you? Suggests ulterior motives to that complaint to me. Alas.

Humbly suggest counting to 10 slowly, then calling them some suitable name.

So is it possible I don’t know what spam on Mastodon looks like? Probably. For all I know I’m spamming talk right now talking about spam on Mastodon.

@drcaberry

It's also possible that the person follows one of the hashtags that you use, and didn't realize that's why they saw your post. Complainers are not always smart.

Honestly, just be kind to your students and you're vastly more inclusive than 75% of other educators in higher ed.

Compiling a reading list for grad students and need your input: what are the best readings on
(1) methods to identify and
(2) measure AI harms?

Self-plugs are always welcomed. Bonus points if papers include ways to "quantify" said harms.

@upol I always seem to go back to Agre. This is an article that doesn't seem like it's about AI per se, but at its core it really is.

Article: https://pages.gseis.ucla.edu/faculty/agre/research.html
Analysis which makes the connections: https://theluddite.org/#!post/ai-hype

@jessamyn thanks so much for sharing this! It appears Agre comes back to my life in so many ways. His work on CTP defined my take on Human-centered XAI. His book was seminal to my thinking on RAI. Now this one pops up. Sad that he is no longer active/traceable these days. Guessing he had enough of the BS.

Applied for a job today. In industry. I'm moving out of academia after 6 years as a casual. Working at the university is stressful, I am looking forward to having a more secure working arrangement

@Fury So many talented people I know are moving out of academia because it simply doesn’t care for its staff

Hello everyone, I’m a MSW student, interning at a hospital for medical social work. This fundraiser is a survival fund used to help with rent costs, groceries, utilities, etc. until I graduate in December. I’m about half way to my goal. Moreover, I like to break it down monthly. The link is below. Thank you! Please share 🌱

  1. Yummy South Indian Lunch with 4 types of veg, juicy fried chicken drumstick and shrimp curry. Hey, it's Monday and I needed the fortification for teaching.
  2. Listening to The Cure all day because the weather requires it.
  3. Finally catching fish on . I'd all but given up because fishing is so impossible on the iphone.

Hi Masto, I'm home. The day began with the wind and rain which had me wanting to listen only to The Cure during my commutes and while I was prepping for class. Can the eyeliner be far behind. I jest. My eyes are far too sensitive for eye makeup these days and all of my fancy eye makeup palettes are going to waste.

It was an okay day. Another Drama Lab with my Oral Literacy MA Students. Their big project for this semester is connected to The Lady's Not For Burning. My approach to Oral Literacy is Oral Literacy x Pop Culture x Performance Studies. I'm enjoying it! I always enjoy teaching performance as it takes me back to some of those roots (I did two years of a performance studies x literature PhD before I defected fully to lit to be a Gothic scholar)

If I had a nickel for every academic jackass who thinks student disability accommodations should be resisted or refused, I'd never have a penny of debt again in my life.

Stop asking how to get around or refuse accommodations for students with disabilities. Just stop. Obey the law and honor the accommodations. Simple.
