Hullo #earlymodern istas. If you happen to use my work (books and articles, anything) in your teaching, now would be a good time to tell me which ones, and in which courses (and unis).

🚨Just a week to go until the deadline! 🚨 We've received some really exciting proposals already. If you work on the intersection of #earlymodern crime and religion and have something to offer you really don't want to miss these #RenSA27 panels! 🗃️

After a mammal is a juvenile, they are an adult. But what are they after they are an adult? In seven species of mammal, including humans, life has a third act for females. We are underreacting to menopause.

Recently, FamilySearch digitized and uploaded tons of microfilmed records, including many from 18th-century Massachsuetts. They're using some sort of AI to transcribe/summarize the handwritten documents. I've noticed that the AI strips out references to race and enslavement in 18thc documents.

Had a really interesting conversation with other folks who teach our writing requirement at UB and all of us noted this shift in how students are talking about AI. Not to say we don’t see them still sometimes using it, but something really interesting is afoot. This video is cool validation!

Fucking incredible. Play this for every university administrator in the nation. She says AI is the next “industrial revolution” and all the students BOO loudly. And then when she says “a few years ago, AI was not part of our lives” they all CHEER. She is shocked by their reactions. I am not!!!

If you're thinking about using gen-AI to "write" books, this 🧵 is for you. I’m a highly experienced editor who’s been in the biz a long time. Recently I’ve had manuscripts come to me where the author has used gen-AI – not for writing, I’ve been assured, but for “structuring” or "organising"
