Just: YES.
Writing is thinking.
It’s not a part of the process that can be skipped; it’s the entire point.

This is what's so baffling about so many suggestions for AI in the humanities classroom: they mistake the product for the point. Writing outlines and essays is important not because you need to make outlines and essays but because that's how you learn to think with/through complex ideas.

Such cool covers. And I'll read anything by Edith Wharton, "forgotten work" of hers or not. 🙌
These beauties are from @sandtclassics.bsky.social, a new classics list brilliantly curated by Brandon Taylor & Allison Woodnutt.
The choices are inspired & the quality is 🤌
Bravo!
I love innovations in classics publishing - here, instead of an introduction, there's a dialogue between 2 readers.

"Writers are driven by a compulsion . . . to deploy each of our senses, our entire instrument, in the service of meaning-making. It is the work of my life to attempt, each day, to stay in this sacred place of following the line of words." 💗

Not surprising, but worth hearing again (and again).
New data shows how much students’ standardized test scores rise with their parents’ incomes in the U.S. — and how disparities start years before students sit for the SAT or ACT. nyti.ms/3QueAjW

Gettysburg Review is where I first published "Big Me," one of my favorite stories I've ever written. Their support when I was a young writer made such a huge difference.

But the College's administration wants to shutter it. Please join me in protesting! Write riuliano@gettysburg.edu, and officeoftheprovost@gettysburg.edu
