Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In response to growing climate catastrophes and housing crises in colonially named Kamloops, British Columbia, the author in this chapter recounts her work as a feminist scholar and comedic performer working in collaboration with two Indigenous artists. The author positions herself as a white, cisgendered, queer woman employed in a neoliberal university on settler-occupied Indigenous lands. She explores the personal and social contradictions in which she finds herself and ways comedic performance can challenge these constructs to address mounting environmental and housing crises while co-creating more radical and caring democracies. Stories include the humorous adventures her alter-ego character, and those of her collaborators, undertake using mock webinar performances that involve floating porta-pottis, growlers of beer, charcuterie boards, pond scum smoothies, and other metaphoric devices. Their efforts are designed to “hack together” new consciousnesses, relationships, and a more just democratic world.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
