Lots of fear and uncertainty on my skyline for the last few days, but it's more crucial now than ever that we keep the focus on CONCRETE ACTION that everyone can be taking in the face of this mess.
I've collected a short list of folks who've helped me to keep my focus on that crucial benchmark.

The famous green owl app Duolingo is going even harder into AI made by stolen content. It's not curated by native speakers so you have no idea if what you're learning is correct. Their algorithm overall tries to hit the happy brain juices instead of helping you learn. So here are some alternatives!

Translation is all about conveying meaning from one language to another. But what do we do when we’re struggling with how to render that meaning in our target language?
Let’s talk about deverbalization, functionalism, and examples from SUBREDDITNAME and the Beings from Strange Planet!

Introducing my new comic book font, Girl Kisser 🧡🤍💖
It's all-caps, really pretty, super soft, and comes with a wide range of glyphs. It's hand-drawn with a micron pen and hand-traced into vectors, and it's perfect for comic book dialogue.
