Viewing Archie Moore's Biennale-winning exhibition Kith & Kin immediately gave me an idea for my next book. Wonderful, inspiring!! Look at those archive piles!

Thrilled to see that the latest edition of @auswhn.bsky.social’s Lilith: A Feminist History Journal features not one – but two – book reviews by my PhD students! 📚

Congratulations Kaitlin Mills and Michael Stockwell 🤓

Still plenty of work to be done to rehabilitate Stirner's thought, but this chapter by Jacob Blumenfeld does important work in the Marx contra Stirner discussion!

I'm a huge proponent of green open access, but diamond journals are fantastic, too! Nice to get a mention in this article about why we shouldn't sleep on free-to-publish open-access journals! Bibliodiversity for life!

Toronto's @thestar.com sent a cease and desist letter to the creator of the podcast network that @indicator.media wrote about on Wednesday. He has promised to reverse course.

Thousands of paywalled research papers could be freed with this simple fix ‘Green open access’ has existed for decades – and it’s not hard to get academics to use it more.

Relatedly, reading with page flags at hand! Gotta mark those good quotes!

Oh! Congrats!

Australian Politics and Policy Australian Politics and Policy provides a unique, holistic coverage of politics and public topics for use in university courses.

Oh same re. submitting things! Almost there on one, need to write up the other... But we soft launched this yesterday! oercollective.caul.edu.au/aust-politic...

Proper promo incoming once we get our ducks in a row

Hahaha! Thanks! Everything is coming out all at once. There's one more to come out and then I need to hurry up and submit a few things I'm behind on!

You might be interested in the work that @tenille.bsky.social is doing. She has built a bespoke language model trained on her writing to trouble a novel she's working on. Adding the digital uncanny to it. I think there are great possibilities from feeding historical documents into bespoke models

I think we're in total agreement there. With good regulation around intellectual property rights, resource usage, and legal restrictions on how these models are constructed, they could be useful in certain applications

I hate this tech, to be perfectly honest, but there are standards that need to apply to assessments that really defy any attempt to prohibit the use of genAI in take-home writing. The battle on that front is already lost

If ever there was an example of writing by dissensus it's this article. I think it benefited from the process though. I wish the conversations involved in its composition was a podcast! It's true though, if a student uses Grammarly, is it theirs? Spell check? A critical friend?

Always was a slimeball

This one makes me particularly sick

You're such a good egg! Thanks for sharing!

Another piece of writing from yours truly. Might be the weirdest thing I've written? This is what happens when you agree to write about a US work of criticism for a publication about Australian writing!

"AI detection should not be used in education due to its methodological imperfections, violation of procedural fairness, and unverifiable outputs."

Truly truly truly terrible, like the worst in-between scenes from a video game.

No pressure, hahaha!

"Heads we win, tails you lose" is now live in its peer-reviewed form. This article represents a gamut of perspectives from pro-AI to staunchly opposed. What unites us all is shared condemnation of the use of AI-detection software in education contexts
