A piece of advice I always give to folks who attend my writing workshops: “When you’re stuck and can’t write, READ. Then write your notes of what you just read. Respond to the notes you wrote in a separate document (different to your notes). Now you have some fodder to keep the writing momentum”.

I saw Kate Crawford, Kishonna Gray and a bunch of other researchers I knew as “experts” in Grammarly. Sorry didn’t screenshot it all but here’s a screen recording me and Kishonna made last week. jilltxt.net/temp/grammar...

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent. State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes. www.wired.com/story/gramma...

The only reason I have stayed (mostly) sane as an academic is because when I took my first job, my family said, "Bloom where you're planted." If you knew my fam, you'd know that's the last thing I'd have expected to hear. But it set me up to just do the work I wanted to do, not climb or compare.
