I would rather submit a master's degree worth of writing in cursive than use AI (and MAYBE I WILL)

Performance Art:
I write an essay by hand in front of an audience for 1 hour and then read it out loud immediately afterwards with no pause in-between, in order to create something of original thought that is provably untouched by AI.

As "AI" continues to be a nuisance, everyone should take this as a sign to learn at least one handcraft or physical skill. Knit, sew, woodworking, gardening, upholstery, painting, anything you can think of that is hands-on. Physical craft isn't going anywhere (and they're good for your health).

Vaguely unhinged language learning: listen to an audiobook in the target language, then go back and read the English version and se show much of it you got 🤣

Listening to my first audiobook... hot take but I do not think this counts as reading 😮💨 it's consuming the same story as if I were reading--I think it counts as definitely "reading" the book--and I love what it does for accessibility, but it just isn't the same as the act of reading. 😬

If you want to help disabled people fight New York's proposed mask ban... wear a mask.
If more people would mask up in solidarity, these important accessibility tools would be harder to ban.
Help us normalize masking and protect your health in the process!

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.
More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.
I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Duolingo and my dentist said the same thing to me today... 😐
(I went in because I thought I might have a loose filling... tests and X-rays later, I am just clenching my jaw too hard... and may be experiencing stress... 🫥)

Professionally told to "chill" by my dentist today.... apparently clenching teeth is really not recommended long-term.

You can buy any book you are looking for on the internet. But we need physical, independent bookshops because that is where you discover the books you were not looking for, and never knew you needed.

Just started a diary to document all this nonsense. I think our digital accounts of the happenings will mostly disappear and we won’t have a lot of letters for our descendants to read.

Keep a diary or journal these days.
It's just about the only non-hackable, non-controlled record of your life that you have.
If you've been using social media sites as a diary, please write in your journal first. It might help you just as much.
And it is genuinely, deletably, private.

Pinterest's collage feature is actually so cool?!?!
