I dread grading writing tasks. It makes me feel insane. Every time.
It is also the most human act, the most compassionate part of teaching for me.
Reading and deeply responding to the words of a young person.
Why would I ever give that up to an AI?

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

I too want a platypus emoji! How is there not a platypus emoji!?
My husband saw a young platypus playing in the Huon River near our home this morning. By the bank. Very clearly for about the minutes!

affect = verb
effect = noun
But…
‘Effect’ can be a verb that means "to cause to come into being."
- The strike effected change within the company
'Affect' can be a noun that refers to an observable emotional response.
-His affect did not change after hearing the news

I will never understand the cruelty. Ever.
This is so breathtakingly cruel that my soul glitched. I’m never surprised by the depths of depravity, per se, but having to process it still exacts an emotional cost.

I realize broad science-literacy problems cannot generally be solved just by shoving more facts at people but I really wish more people understood that the entire purpose and mechanism of a vaccine is to educate your OWN immune system, making it about the most "natural" medical intervention possible

Visited the city where my grandparents lived. Went to their old house, a time portal that stretches as far back as my ability to remember and feel. One might write a poem or song about it, those complex infinite layers of being.
And some think writing is work for a chatbot. How bankrupt and sad
