Frankly pictures are like candy or dessert for reading; they need to be treated as a treat or rare quick 'calories' as it were, not as a staple component of one's diet. they are fast & easy for teaching just like how fast food is for meals. but we can't be teaching our kids with fast food philosophy

(these are disjointed reflections, should have said sorry) The quote "She says phonics can be intimidating; three cueing isn't" is an indictment and one I certainly believe.

Critiques: the author mentions 'building a word bank' as a positive quality for phonics instruction, but lists "memorization" as a negative aspect of the three cue system. Idk it struck me as a bit contradictory.

I think this is a failure in implementation tbqh. I'll try to be back after I read the full article with my full critique & layman suggested improvements (I never claimed to be immune to the blight on proper readership! But I did want to pop in my first impressions while my presses were hot)

Although what I did have backing me was a tremendously rigourful grammar lesson-set. I hated sentence diagramming so damn much but by golly it learnt me. It learnt me good.

The examples are frightening. But honestly that system is how I incorporated language learning but in a different way; I'm terrible at full memorization so I relied moreso on roots when I encountered an unfamiliar word. I used to be a tremendously voracious reader but I guess that doesn't mean good

Have u done your lizard person in your new style? I forget her name

Imo? A kindness.

"flattening of creativity into endless reproduction for consumption’s sake" counts against a thing being art imo tbh

The mishandling of these events by leadership has radicalized me, Joe Biden's strongest soldier, against the institutional powers at the DNC.

actually iirc it was them who pushed my biden buddy out. AOC wanted him to stay in, pelosi wanted him out. aoc is the best

A more accurate statement is "you can't build a diverse working class coalition if people are constantly being fed lies about how you hate them". And that's certainly proving to be true

we should not be letting any company get away with blaming AI for their failures. I'm not even sure how we got to this point. people are like "it's just a tool" okay so is a forklift and we still hold somebody responsible when it goes wrong and hurts someone. this is YOUR AI!

omg they should put like a dotted outline to show where the camera window goes and if the player loses a bunch of dumbass comments show up pointing at it saying like "stupid idiot zone" "skill issue" "live [username] reaction"
