We are screwed. This is producing people unable to think critically, do the research, synthesize material or write analytically themselves, while normalizing cheating & faking. It will have far-reaching deleterious consequences. #AcademicChatter

Even including scaffolding, showing library research, class discussion, formal oral presentation, etc won't be sufficient if a student wants to cheat to produce content. All this is crippling originality, the ability to read, think & analyze for themselves, do the actual legwork.
What’s happening in education is all related to this issue of wider usage & consequences for all sectors:

Horrific to see the volume of bad 'research' articles published not only by predatory journals, but the fake publications being generated w AI help. I'm seeing even more applicants with questionable publications in obscure journals as CV padding.😒 Assess wisely! #AcademicChatter
Academics, students, researchers who create rapid publications with poor/fake research will inflate their CVs & h-index through dishonest means. Their work will get cited & used, creating disastrous ripple effects. Imagine your doc treating you based on such shoddy 'research'.😡
All faculty & scholars should be very wary of what they read & give credence to. Don't believe everything having a DOI number to be credible. Assess critically.

PSA: Since I’ve seen this conflation everywhere: British Raj ≠ contemporary India. Historic India is not the same as contemporary post-Partition India (1947), bc this conflation completely erases the fact that historic India comprised contemporary Bangladesh, Pakistan & India.
When I see documents, tweets, media, etc discussion colonial domination of ‘India”, this means colonization of what is currently known as the independent states of Bangladesh, Pakistan & India. Historic India (pre-1947) ≠ post-Partition India (post-1947). Conflation is erasure.
In 1947, the Brits left a colossal mess with butchered borders creating post-Partition India & a split-up Pakistan (West & East). In 1971, Bangladesh emerged as an independent nation-state in what was known as East Pakistan (which was known as East Bengal during the British Raj).

My TL is full of either bellyaching genuflections or the brilliant satire & comedic clapbacks of Irish Twitter, Black Twitter, South Asian Twitter, Indigenous Twitter, etc - mostly ‘people who know how to season food’ Twitter 🙃
👀
And Bangladeshi, Palestinian, and several dozen more…

Better brace ourselves for empire nostalgia & pro-colonialism discourse, huh? I’m just thinking about all the millions of people who died & suffered at the hands of brutalizing empire over centuries, but fought against it nonetheless. Rest in power, dear ancestors everywhere.✊🏼
So no, I will not grieve for a title head who represented all sorts of wrongs for centuries across the planet. Racist imperial urges brought us to this day, so please don’t tell me about the damn railroads. That is not worth the subjugation, slavery, rape, pillage, plunder. Ever.
And no, our freedom wasn’t given to us, it was hard won independence from colonizers that largely left us with imperial impacts of slavery/bonded labor, dead families, destroyed agriculture, famines, Partition, butchered cartographies, divide & rule legacies, generational traumas

Water is about power. Take it from someone who’s written books & research papers on this for two decades. Necropolitics via water is as old as time. Climate crisis is only exacerbating this, ramping up human-made tragedies: too much water, too little, wrong time, wrong place.
As I’ve been saying for decades: climate change is water change - too much water, too little water, wrong time, wrong place, etc. Climate breakdown is a hydrosocial issue (You can quote me on all this since I’ve said it in dozens of places & audiences).
Whether we talk about water quality failures, floods, droughts, storm surges, waterlogging, etc - climate change manifests in conjunction with human intervention failures (infrastructure, democracy, social safety nets, public health, patriarchy, racism, coloniality). All related.

American domestic necropolitics is removing the mask mandate in schools & transportation during an active airborne pandemic while there is no universal healthcare access and large numbers of immunocompromised, vulnerable & disabled people. it’s utterly ridiculous.
Complete loss of common sense by so-called leaders & consent into destructive hegemony by too many people, fostered through decades of dumbing down of education and the promotion of the fetishizing individualistic gain over collective good.
Why this matters you ask? Guess who takes public transportation and why this matters:
