- Reposted by Dr Élaina is cripping outGoogle scholar is now broken for good because people use AI-generated, non-existent references. As someone who will go to great lengths to hunt down the original 19th century grammar to cross-check an example cited in later literature, this just adds to my general disappointment in humankind, tbh
- And so checked out Google Scholar. Now on my profile it doesn't appear, but somwhow on Nelli's it does and ... and ... omg, IT'S BEEN CITED 42 TIMES almost exlusively in papers about AI in education from this year alone... scholar.google.com.vn/citations?vi...
- I'm going to do the academic flex of saying I have multiple publications "in press", but I can't share them yet. But let the record reflect that I am publishing, which, as a disabled scholar, makes me #inspirational.

I first had chicken and sweetcorn soup at my best friend's house when I was like 12, a Spanish friend taught me to make tortilla when we both briefly lived in Prague, and most recently my adobo fixation c/o @elainagmamaril.bsky.social 🥰
- I was just told single-anonymous reviewing, where the reviewer knows who the author is but not the other way around, is a thing. Is this true? This would be so counterproductive.
- I lost my phone on the bus and tracked it to the bus depot. The company couldn't find it and has closed my claim. I guess it is stuck in Bus Limbo.
