ChatGPT is seriously testing everything I know about teaching writing. It’s interfering with every aspect of my pedagogy and making me feel unhinged. Please help.
I was using chatgpt to analyze one of my essays to help a colleague test an assignment asking about the writer's authority and it gave me this 😂

I will never write an article or essay that offers a life hack or one simple rule to do anything. It’s not how my brain works and it’s not how the world works, so you might as well strike me off your pitch list if that’s what you’re promoting.

I’d like to speak to the copyist about whether his work needed a bit of tidying before it could be performed. And I’d like to see the pages that ended up in the fireplace. A vast amount of editing can take place without the world ever seeing it

The internet is a land ruled by the young. In an ever-changing digital world, selfies not only capture images but the evolution of self-perception in a world obsessed with preserving beauty. thewalrus.ca/me-my-selfies-…
In this essay, I try to make sense of aging in the age of selfies by looking at artists’ self portraits.

Since her fortieth birthday, writer @ethorkel has found it increasingly difficult to take a good selfie. With each new shot, she wonders: Who is the woman that she’s trying to capture? thewalrus.ca/me-my-selfies-…
People talk about Ozempic like it’s changed the world forever, but I guarantee a lot of those weight loss “miracles” will reset over time. Rapid, radical weight loss is not healthy or sustainable, and we’re just pushing important conversations about fatphobia down the road
the only piece of writing advice I feel confident giving is that all of your characters should have first names that start with different letters.
Wow, I really have no luck with the BC Arts Council project grants for Creative Writers. Not even a little.

Doing some things for Independent Bookstore Day, this handsome guy helping. Lengthy details on our IG rn, soon to be trickled out here.
When I need a self-esteem boost, I stare at myself in the mirror and whisper my book blurbs. Thank you, Sarah Jackson, for this amazing one. 🌿🫐 🍑🐝🩵 Pre-order DEATH BY A THOUSAND CUTS here: penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/636398/d…
Whenever I see a despondent child, 3 - 18, I take it upon myself to offer such words of comfort as, "There, there, I've never understood compound interest, and look at me!" Or, "There, there, I've grown to be elderly and have never read a tide table1" It seems to work very well.
“I was the kid who wore a housekey around my neck on a thread and let myself into most rooms at home, where the primary interaction I witnessed were those on our… TV. As a kid, television kept me company after school and gave me a reason to get up on Saturday mornings.” Me too!
“I know better than to assume what works in one exceedingly popular medium won’t apply to another.” @Makellams considers television as a writing teacher. lithub.com/why-television…
@ethorkel I'm not even opposed to it being adapted by some singular filmmaker with a vision. But this just looks as dull and corporate-refined prestige streamer contentstuffy as you'd expect from a Netflix commissioned adaptation. But you're right ofc that it's a v tough book to adapt.
Smoking, nudity, coarse language: these are my quotidian; I don't need to be warned about them before watching a movie. But I'd be very grateful for an alert that said, "Contains scenes where drivers take their eyes off the road for extended periods to talk to their passengers."
Had such a good time at the launch of Talking to Strangers from @VehiculePress at @book_warehouse. Wonderful to share my work with so many friends.
I grow weary. This looks exactly like what you'd expect a Netflix-produced adaptation of 100 Years of Solitude to look like. Not a surprise or a frame out of place or a colour popping out from that smooth streamer palette. Maybe it'll be good! Read the book first at least tho.
Here's the first look at One Hundred Years Of Solitude — the new series adapted from Gabriel García Márquez's masterpiece novel. In the mythical town of Macondo, the Buendía family confronts a curse, madness and impossible love.
Twice a year - early spring, late fall - I have what seem like allergy symptoms - mostly asthma and sinus related. But my allergy tests, even blood tests, are all negative. Can anyone explain.
@ethorkel I mean that's not the only reason (mostly just didn't get offered the permanent/FT role I've been doing the last year + basically the last few years before that) but I have had a lot of AI stuff this year and the piddly adjunct pay is not enough to deal with that
@ethorkel Sincerely no small part in my deciding to walk away for awhile
@ethorkel Yeah, it sucks. But it really does need to be eradicated. This is going to damage an entire generation so bad, at a time when good education is so critical. I mean, it always is, but especially when reality can't be trusted in any way.
@ethorkel The only thing to do is to ruthlessly ban it and not tolerate the use of AI in class work, but I know that's easier said than done if literally everyone's doing it.
@ethorkel Sigh. I really, really hope this is a temporary derangement that will collapse, and that they'll learn how awful this moloch they're suckling at is, and how their own intelligence and reasoning and knowledge will suffer for it.
@ethorkel It is soul-sucking. I've moved to mostly in person process based writing where I focus less on grading end products and more on engaging with practice directly in the classroom. This doesn't work for my online classes though and over 85 percent of what I see is garbage AI.
As we slog through the fetid discourse around sketch comedy and female attractiveness, I want to remind everyone that the Kids in the Hall never made drag the joke, they built CHARACTERS, and Dave Foley was so consistently hot in drag, Newsradio did an episode about it.
I get that being a conservative contrarian is a *thing* on here, but if you're arguing against using taxes to feed hungry kids you're a garbage human. Period. There's no counter argument that beats "No child should go hungry." Some real bad mind people up here, man...
