I'm playing with ideas of pedagogy, and designing a calculus course based on them. If anyone wants to be my guinea pig and learn calculus in a discord chat, let me know

Got back into the piano today, and I love playing with dynamics and the different voices having different dynamics, and just getting really into the musicality itself, not just trying to press the keys right

I just want to give everyone who sees this (hopefully a lot of people, make this viral please!) a taste of what Ontario’s ODSP is really like! This is an acceptable way to treat disabled people, btw.

Interesting take I have but I think an actually conscious AI is something that could happen within my lifetime if we tried really hard. Current AI hype isn't actually working towards it though. Like at best an LLM could be a component, and you'd want a more specialized one than we currently have

Homework too hard, the take-home midterm was somehow way easier

The latest adjustment to my ADHD meds is working really well, like I feel I can actually decide to do things now. It's honestly kinda weird but also probably life changing.

I wish our society actually cared about freedom.

I have so much trouble with being self directed. Like, in the day to day I just can't reliably do my work and chores. Not because of difficulty, just because I can't manage my time and start working on things.

Finding out about truth and honesty scrupulosity is impacting my understanding of myself and others a lot. Like, I get how a conman can believe their own lies now, it's because they're not as invested in being right and careful reasoning as I am. So they can fool themselves in all sorts of ways.

Seeing a lot of people saying abolish homeschooling and private schools, and while I hate the Christian homeschoolers too, I don't want the state to have that much power.
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Reading Radical Hope had a big impact of my thoughts on pedagogy. That said it was more of a starting point to get me thinking about the subject. It not actually that radical.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!

tell me about a book that changed you

for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

Some things about my brain suddenly make much more sense
I think it’d be helpful for more leftists to know about moral OCD because I suspect that the things that make us leftists lend themselves to both a greater incidence of moral OCD, greater severity, and less ability to know you have it even from the same baseline of self awareness

It's so frustrating that we could fix so many issues with the world if we just set our minds to it. But that doesn't benefit those in power enough, so people starve.

I've been doing very badly managing my irl responsibilities. But I have Adderall now and it kinda works (idk, maybe could use a higher dosage or something) so I'm going to try to pull myself back together in the next couple days.

Hot take but not only are you not obligated to forgive people, there are times where you are obligated to not forgive people.

I am back, spent a little time on mastodon while I was away. Seems like a pretty chill place from what I saw

Gonna uninstall for a while. Seeing the mess that is this place and the world is not helping my current depressive spiral

Now I'm at the crying in bed unable to do anything and feeling like I'm incapable of holding a job
Need to get work done and I'm currently at the phase of questioning why this work even exists
