The fundamental premise behind AI-enabled cheating is that coursework is merely busy work, because your'e just doing it for professors.
We would never say that showing up for football practice is merely busy work because you're just doing it for your coaches.
A cat who once had a big suburban house and a hugely stressful prestigious job and now lives on a cliff instead, free of the trappings of modern life, to the admiration of its friends, who, as they idealise its life, never imagine the terrible loneliness it feels during cold winters, six miles from the nearest shop, cinema and pub.

Tomorrow-- Thursday 12 February--I'll be reading with @myriamontheoutside.bsky.social at the Wild Prose Reading Series. It's at Books & Shenanigans (347 Cook Street, Victoria BC). It's a lovely bookstore, and worth browsing (as well as listening) (@stelliform.press)

A sign says “bookstore” above a window, inside the right shelving is all black and the left is all pink. One side of the window says Hopeless Romantic Bookstore, the other sports the Little Ghosts ghost logo on top of a stack of books.
The rumours are TRUE!
There is a Romance x Horror bookstore PopUp in Union station running from now until May 31st. This great little space, shared between us and Hopeless Romantic Books, is the pink/black bookstore of your dreams.
Come by say hi on your next commute!

"We would have lost so much if we'd driven him away" is the justification.
But we lost all those girls. We lost the women they would have become. We lost the work they would have done. Why was his future work so much more valuable than theirs?
this one's a rerun but, you know, it felt relevant!!!!
So grateful to Johnnie Jae and Red Pop! News for this thoughtful interview 💚🌿

This issue is 50% original Canadian Toronto ghost stories with apartments. His is east end and mine is west. It's a serendipitous combo.
Nice to wake up to THE OTHER SHORE (from @stelliform.press!) on the recommended reading list, along with a LOT of good reading, and space for translation as well.
It would be really nice to see someone, somewhere, responding to the invitation like that. I'm avoiding it as well, but bits keep popping up and make me angry/nauseated-- maybe it was wishful thinking?
Ugggghhh. Thanks for letting us know.
You guys, everybody has to drop what they're doing for 15 minutes a day and read the stories that make up THE OTHER SHORE, by @rebeccacampbell.bsky.social. Irreplaceable. #booksky #review #fiction #SF boughtbooks.blogspot.com/2026/01/rebe...
and they were just filming season 2 of the Studio? Maaaaannnn...

Same thought-train over here. Just chugging along down terrible terrible sidings. Thinking of how lucky I've been these last decades, really, and how many times in history people had to be much smarter and braver than I've ever had to be.
