Just published a new Substack: Aristotle Would Have Failed the Turing Test.

Turns out that when ancient philosophers defined “reason,” they left out entire categories of human thinking… which AI is now accidentally uncovering.

AI learns like a teenager: fast, flawed, and full of potential.

Maybe mentoring both requires the same thing — curiosity, conscience, and a little grace.

When the writer can’t write, the teacher still teaches.
Dictation, healing, and the sound of showing up anyway.

The students in my classroom aren’t just tired — they’re running the same race their parents are losing. I keep wondering what happens to a country when its children stop believing in the finish line.

Quickly becoming my favorite part of the week...tune in tomorrow for my newest Substack, dedicated to the truly exceptional, graceful and gracious Laura Schulman. (With a slight glass-tip to @brianjayjones.com - can you find it?)

I'm a HS English teacher, and I do love teaching graphic novels. But I always thought of comics as my escape. Ready for me to reveal how old I am? I still have the ENTIRE, complete set of....Elfquest.

A yellow rope in a sweaty gym turned into a reminder: the hard part isn’t holding on when it’s easy—it’s staying bound when the edges start to fray.

I adore George Takei. My admiration stems from the fact that I am a from-the-cradle Trekkie. I recognize that Takei is primarily an actor, but also an activist.

However, calling out an injustice is not enough in this political climate.

Use your street cred to guide your audience to REAL action.
