reminds me of ayanna thompson in shakespeare and race:

"... race is not a real thing. Nor is race a stable category that refers solely to skin color, somatic aspects, or phenotypes (think, for example, of all the stories of racial passing; how can one pass if race is tied solely to skin color?). The idea that race is a stable, identifiable biological trait comes from pseudo-scientific arguments that were created in the Enlightenment. These late seventeenth-century arguments were subsequently adopted and weaponized throughout much of the world to create disparities based on these pseudo-scientific notions of essential differences. [...] the process of race-making is flexible so that it can be mobilized at different historical moments to create structural and material inequalities."

Ayanna Thompson, 'Did the Concept of Race Exist for Shakespeare and his Contemporaries?', in The Cambridge Companion to Shakespeare and Race, ed. Ayanna Thompson (CUP, 2021), pp. 1-16

or as my lecturer likes to put it: race doesn't exist, but the realities of racism do.

remember kids, the moral of "Irish and Italians weren't even considered White yet!" isn't "because in those times people were so ignorant they didn't think the Irish were white". the moral is "because white is an unreal category created to justify slavery and ongoing hoarding of power and wealth". It's not that you know better about Italians. It's that the boundaries of the higher caste have changed.

"If you use em dash in your works, it makes them look AI generated. No real human uses em dash."

Imaging thinking actual human writers are Not Real because they use... professional writing in their works.

Imagine thinking millions of people who have been using em dash way before AI becomes a thing are all robots.

kids these days are like “i need chat gpt to write an essay that would normally take 12 hours in 2” but back in my day i did that all the time by using a little technique called “writing some absolute bullshit.” and yet i still walked away with a better essay and more critical thinking skills than i would get if i used chatgpt. write a bad essay that you started on the day it was due, but write it yourself.
