- In 1982, inspired by the work of MO the National Lesbian and Gay survey began, it sought to capture what everyday life was like for queer people living in the UK. For our latest open call we're continuing the work of NLGS and asking what does it mean to be queer every day? #lgbtqhistory

- Unless Scottish politicians & university leaders introduce new screening procedures for the - voluminous quantity of - US-derived students who visit us every new semester, this will shortly become commonplace in our classrooms and halls of residence. Since it's airborne, mask mandates also helpful.

Some academic publishing contract advice: make sure your contract specifies 1. a qualified human copyeditor will copyedit on the MS; 2. a qualified human proofreader will proofread the MS; 3. that production must have a proper system for version control (!). - Reposted by Kate Louise MathisTwo people have been abducted from Scotland in the middle of the night by the US military. Despite an order from our highest court that they be kept here.

- Reposted by Kate Louise MathisAnd one more thing. Students. If you have a professor who is, for some reason, outsourcing their own job to ChatGPT....drop the class. If they tell you to "ask ChatGPT" for sources, drop the class. Because they apparently don't know their own discipline well enough to teach it.
- Reposted by Kate Louise MathisI have some bad news. One, if you need to use ChatGPT for your graduate application letter, you are not ready for graduate school. Two, no, not "everyone is doing it" and those who don't do it aren't "losing out." ChatGPT is not an advantage.

- Reposted by Kate Louise MathisI find Gmail’s new “write this for me” feature deeply sinister. They’re trying to convince you that you are dumb and helpless.
