my interior monologue at the community pool

Welp I guess that’s the end of the road for chatGPT. There won’t be any work for 5, it is going to be overqualified and have a much harder time getting hired than 4

Unconscionable that this should happen anywhere, but it's even more dispiriting and infuriating that it's happening at a flagship, public, land-grant university.

Today the University of Kentucky Board of Trustees, being led by the nose by President Eli Capilouto, finalized the dissolution of the University Senate, putting the final nail in the coffin of shared governance.

imagining an honest version of LinkedIn where we openly talk about our precarity, failures, rejections, and professional resentments

I'm trying to learn more about it so I can be an informed, engaged, nuanced critic and not just a knee-jerk humanities naysayer. (I mean, I still say "nay" but hopefully in more compelling ways.)
