If you "love to travel" you should be reading @sstodola.bsky.social. It's not our fault we're being duped left and right but it is our responsibility to educate ourselves... flung.substack.com/p/on-overtou...

I got bad grades in my required writing class because I wouldn’t write standard 5 paragraph essays. In college?! Still salty.

This is a much more interesting conversation about AI than the standard fare. Thesis: Kids using AI reveal failures of US education system.

And we’re all still salty.
A teenager explains why he shouldn’t have to write homework essays anymore. Is there some way for adults to force teens to still do homework? Or to convince them they should want to?

A creative consultant forbidding edits on “final copy” that’s riddled with errors is a wild choice. Can’t decide if it belies a devastating lack of trust, a wildly inflated ego, or some combination. We need each other. Don’t be an ass.

Every writer you know gets hate mail about what they publish. If you like what they make, tell them. Tell their editors too. It makes a difference.

"A veteran sports newspaper journalist I spoke to said he was baffled about both freebies and editorial ad oversight in Formula 1. A newbie newspaper journalist said he can’t even accept a bottle of water while reporting." Take your pick of any niche subject (I'm looking at you, magic).
I’m a Gen Z Journalist. My Generation Doesn’t Know What That Means.
The issue isn't media mistrust, it's that no one knows what a journalist is

"I’m allowed to feel sad. There’s nothing to be ashamed of. I’m allowed to feel disappointed. There’s nothing to fix. I’m allowed to feel numb at times. My feelings are not a moral litmus test..."

I love @heatherhav.bsky.social so much.
