Biggest jump in enthusiasm for silent reading was when I told them audiobooks and graphic novels were options.

My attention span has just been decreasing for a while. Even sitting down for one game doesn’t work well.

Trying to make more reading time before bed.

I try to kill that inner crit every day, but the turning point might have begun when a kid made fanart of the story I was reading them during dismissal while working day camp.

If one of my weird little stories inspired someone else to make something? Then maybe the cringe in my head all along.

I spent way too much of this afternoon arguing with her. Primary sources are invalid unless they’re direct original manuscripts (that’s not how history works). Stone inscriptions are fake, ask a geologist (no, she didn’t name any), all the historical writings of Rome were forged by the church, etc.

Amidst their whole Gish Gallop, I somehow missed that, yikes, this is basic high school level source identification.
