Where I currently live, the weather is the most unpredictable of any of the seven US states I've lived in. There will be a sunny day forecast, mild wind, and then a thunderstorm rolls in. After the thunderstorm, the forecast changes to say RAIN OMG AND 20MPH GUSTS. TORNADO WATCH 🌪️. It's like, are the meteorologists using a Magic 8-ball?

@adhdeanasl@beige.party Where's the link??? I did not get my totally not a cult email newsletter this month.
Today I said "I wish more people asked questions." I hope people (at least on Beige) will answer. I ask this of everyone I meet: when you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?
My friends tell me I'm naïve when I tell them I don't think my students are using AI. But I do check. They get screened by multiple apps, both in Blackboard and outside it.
What I hear from my students about AI is resentment and anxiety. They resent AI being part of their education. They are anxious because they believe it has prepared them poorly. Being a sycophant rather than an educator. They are also angry that AI preys on people with mental illness, and the outcomes of that.
I know there are a whole lot of doomers out there who think the current generation is a flock of mindless, AI-driven zombies. Let me tell you, they aren't.
They are a group of people who have been failed on several levels. Smart, capable, but lost on how to get a foothold in the current stupid system. Please help them.

@spiegelmama@infosec.exchange Image work is work. You are taking care of yourself. You are desirable enough to make a career from it. Be proud 👏
...y'all. If I was writing a book, and she was a character, and I gave her these initials, you'd tell me I was a hack.

@Wallflower@beige.party Wait. I thought we were talking about eggplants in the other thread.

@Wallflower "LickSleeve" is the brand, if that helps. I know this is a lot, and we always worry about them 💚

@Wallflower Our vet put a stretchy "LickSleeve" on him immediately after ACL surgery. It blocked any abrasion from attempts to lick and didn't prevent potty access. A suitical wasn't needed. Good luck in your search.

@stevegis_ssg So much this. I don't supervise in the managerial sense, but I teach college, and sometimes you have to tell them that they are fantastic, because it is so easy to forget.
