what i find frustrating is that they all think they're too good for the required intro class and don't take it until they're about to graduate. And so they don't have vocabulary they need for all the other courses. And because of most major courses also needing to be gen-ed courses to fill, the curriculum is horizontal, and nobody in any class can count on scaffolding. It's always starting from scratch, which frustrates faculty & students.

Totally relate to this! I hit my head pretty regularly doing household tasks. yesterday my partner was really concerned after I bonked my head on a dryer door & I said "no big deal. i also hit my head on the shower door yesterday and that hurt much worse." My partner looked stricken at that, but then i was like 🤷🏽‍♀️?? I often blame covid for my brain not working, but I guess it could also be that I routinely hit my head. I guess we'll never know what has ruined me!

those of us who are shouting into the wind at our colleagues and admin need some kind of support group. I'm losing my mind at the state of compliance and volume of AI advocacy/endorsements. I was depressed it was coming from the top, and more so by seeing it coming from basically all around. I had to tell my (also skeptic) junior colleague that it was alright to just let people pop off without engaging & save her precious sanity for things that were important.
