Not tor nothing, I have made this exact argument to colleagues and administrators. Like, we need to address the conditions that lead to AI cheating and those conditions are the conditions of faculty labor.

A really interesting piece on reducing AI cheating in the classroom from a Professor of English and former Dean of Humanities at University of Utah. The solutions? Smaller classes, lower teaching loads for faculty, and in-person classes.

Probably more helpful to think of them not so much as “Canadian wildfires” but rather “climate change wildfires currently consuming Canada”

To opt out of Meta’s new AI features, click the 3 lines on the right side of your screen. Scroll to the bottom. Scroll further somehow. Draw blood on the eve of the full moon. Tell a lie to the faceless man who lives in dreams. Offer yourself in servitude to the darkness. Toggle the “off” switch.

We ask: 📍Where is our archive? 📍Whose heritage are we preserving? 📍Who cares for it? Our guiding statements—Take it down, Take it slow, Take it back—connect critical archival studies with ecological justice to imagine an archival ecosystem beyond Big Tech. 📄 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

There is so much bad news on micro and macro levels lately, I will share a little personal win. Here is a sneak peek at a very early dummy of the interior layout for my book "The House Archives Built, and Other Thoughts on Black Archival Possibility," upcoming from @wehere.bsky.social press.

A mock-up of an open book- on one side there is light mint/robin's egg blue background and the text "The House Archives Built, Revisited" with smaller text in a typerwriterish font. On the other side there is a sepia photo from the 1870's of a Black man standing on a porch with his hands on a chair and his legs crossed in a jaunt manner.

My review of @ianmilligan1.bsky.social's Averting the Digital Dark Age is out in Internet Histories! 📖✨ It shows how the imaginary of the "digital dark age" saw a bizarre array of actors mobilise to create what are now known as web archives that are shaped by their anxieties & hopes for the future.

lil psa for those who use chrome on their computer and have been driven crazy by the constant "sign in with google" prompts that pop up at various sites and didn't realize they could disable them and have been suffering in silence until now like i've been: here's how to get rid of them

To select your third-party sign-in prompt preferences: On your computer, open Chrome. At the top right, select More More and then Settings. On the left, select Privacy and security and then Site settings. Under “Content,” select Additional content settings and then Third-party sign-in. Select to show or block sign-in prompts: Sites can show sign-in prompts from identity services: If you enable "Sign in automatically," you won’t need to confirm before you log in to a website with your identity service. Learn how to sign in to sites & apps automatically. Block sign-in prompts from identity services: If you block this feature, Chrome won’t show sign-in prompts through your identity service. The website you visit or your identity service can still show you similar prompts. You can still log in with your identity service through the typical sign-in buttons or your username and password.
