Absolutely phenomenal craftsmanship from Boston-based artist Lisa Lang. Wow.
"This has been a helpful avenue to channel my existential dread in the current climate. It is my protest art to bring attention to fraud and abuses of power."

For over 20 years I’ve taken my profoundly disabled daughter to theatres, concerts, farms, attractions and events.
We booked. We turned up. We got on with our lives.
Her disability never meant applying to a private company before we could have a day out

Repeat after me:
One star ratings are not done out of ‘jealousy’. They are not ‘bullying’. They are not ‘accidents when really the reviewer meant to click five’. Nor are you owed a review, a rating or any combination thereof.

Today my achievement as an author is spelling "exaggerated" correctly on the first try.
I typed it. I waited for the red squiggle to appear underneath. And there was nothing. The lack of it did confuse me first, but it seems, that sometimes, I can actually write in English. 😂

THREAD: Gonna say it again: what a lot of us do in higher education, at least in the arts, humanities, and social sciences, should be very cheap. Yes, we have professional salaries, like teachers and nurses, but beyond that the things I normally actually need are very simple:...

ALT Consuming We may believe we are caterpillars: consuming for an unknown but instinctively believed greater good. Yet the danger here is taking the branch to a squidgy toothpaste-grave, the issue of unsought angel wings, and having everything once clung onto prised away and left cruelly suddenly far behind.

This person is beyond help. If he doesn't know how to do basic academic fact checking and doesn't read the stuff he's citing, what is he up to?
Also, he's never heard of OCR and translation apps, things that we in the Humanities have been using for years now....
So this means you expect every author to check every citation and make sure that every citation is real and accurate? What if it's beyond the ability of one of the authors to verify one of the citations because that citation is in a language he doesn't know or concerns technical material he doesn't understand but another author on the paper does?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Yes. Academics (like Miller himself) are responsible for the work they produce, including accurate citation practices and thorough vetting of sources. Miller’s previous and current institutions have policies about this:
