been ready to be done with teaching this semester because I am scattered doing too many things on top of it but yesterday a student said: "I'm not normally that into the books we're assigned for classes but I loved giovanni's room and it's my favorite book i've read this year" and 🥹🙏
“We always seem to have money for war. But not to feed the poor.”

as a teacher at o.p. walker when landry & walker were forced to merge for similar reasons in 2013 & now a part time bard early college prof in the fdhs building, I cannot overstate how angry this makes me. these people only care about $$, not education, community, culture, & student stability
everyone can agree that sam altman is singular, definitive proof that capitalism is pathologically inhumane, right??????
I took a semester of elementary Farsi at Brown. Here’s what I think the Iranian leadership is really saying…(1/23)
I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.
Those ridiculous google AI summaries are often wrong.
"A number of prominent basketball coaches, including NBA champions Steve Kerr and Doc Rivers, signed a public letter released Wednesday contending that political interference in universities threatens to undermine college athletics."

THE DEMOCRATS NEED TO DEMAND THAT DHS STOP THROWING MONEY AWAY INCARCERATING PEOPLE AND ICE SELLS ALL ITS WAREHOUSES TO RAISE FUNDS FOR HEALTHCARE SUBSIDIES
ALL CAPS

this is insane and horrible, and what is also insane is the very long and very not inspiring confidence at all, email that was sent out today to the bard college and bard early college faculty in like five different states, in response to this article 😳😩
Michel-Rolph Trouillot would like to have a word.

watching clips of james baldwin to prepare for class / prepare to begin teaching giovanni's room later this week and just.... the amount of prophecy and poetry and words that cut right through all the nonsense and make one go 😳🤯 is always unreal
If you’re a US citizen looking to move abroad because of fear, now you know why immigration happens.
Whatever my uni declares, I am not going to engage with AI. I am not going to use AI or teach students to use it. I am going to continue to explain to students why it is harmful. Absolutely absurd to allow this anti-intellectual, environmentally devastating technology into the university at all.
literally had a friend that used chat GPT to write a lit review for a grad school proposal who didn't think that was cheating & after AI-use scolding, my questions to her were "why you even want to go to grad school then? what do you think the actual work for degree is going to entail?" 😩😩
