a k (they)

back here to say the bubble is probably intact because they got a TWO HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR MILITARY PAYOUT I HATE THIS TIMELINE

it’s genuinely reassuring to me that this is the most miserable and paranoid person in the entire world

they’re making deepfakes of Alex Pretti to justify his murder and people still want to act like AI isn’t a disinformation machine.

Heritage Foundation calling for marriage camps amidst ICE deportation camps separating families. sounds like Mussolini’s “racial emergency” and Battle for Births to me.

bubble burst bubble burst bubble burst !!!

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

And from academics.

CFP: RhetCanada invites paper proposals for its 2026 conference, which will be held May 28-30, 2026, at St. Jerome’s University in Waterloo, Ontario. Deadline: Jan. 19, 2026. tinyurl.com/2s3c8dba

if i see one more uni student survival guide that’s actually just an AI ad, im going to implode the data centres myself.

my thesis proposal is partially on graffiti rhetoric… who also wrote their masters thesis on graffiti rhetoric? My Boss. Eff my silly chungus life i keep accidentally melding into them.

someone needs to study the vernaculars of the alt-right’s handmaidens, particularly kristi noem, erika kirk, and karoline leavitt.

discussion post on Willa Cather’s My Ántonia and Max Weber’s The Protestant Ethic and The Spirit of Capitalism. i’m gonna make it work… somehow??? idk.

the hypocrisy of academia:
1) copy editors told my co-author and i to “use more inclusive language” cause we didn’t specify gender (man or woman) when QUOTING a stat on internet violence against trans* people
2) they proceeded to send our article proofs with my bio edited to misgender me.

this went well! people really liked what i had to say. had multiple people tell me to go to grad school yippee!!!!

writing down a banger thesis: check.

realizing i only have 750 words to actually get this point across: fuck.

stop assigning <1k word essays pleeeease.

it’s 2am. have to give a conference presentation on AI companions and consent bots in a couple of hours. someone free me from the shackles of my last year of undergrad.

writing tutor tension moment: a student told me they wrote their entire grad school application using ChatGPT. had to take a deep breath and tell them that none of the work was actually applicable to their desired program. broligarchy, you will rue the day you deployed genAI for public use.

harm reduction logics and emergent strategy as mutually informing theories of feminist small work (a propos adrienne maree brown). that’s it that’s the tweet.

reading Ramona by Helen Hunt Jackson for my american lit course… oh sentimental novels written by white “advocates”, how you reek of paternalism… attempting to read against the grain here and focus on relationality fostered by art (song).

For anyone who stumbles to this followerless account, I’ve decided I’m going to use this platform as an archive for honing research thoughts and ideas. It’s going to be a lot of talking to myself so feel free to disregard.
