"Don't follow illegal orders" would be more meaningful if Democrats had prosecuted literally any of the prominent war criminals of the last 30 years instead of, you know, fucking campaigning with them

If your name is Dan, and you've recorded an album that features 10 tracks, but you're still looking for a stage name, album title, and cover art, boy do I have good news for you

I think the corollary that a lot of people miss about "write what you know" is that *you have the power to know more things.* Research and talking to people are a central part of writing!
“write only what you know” is bullshit because a man wrote silent hill f and this shit rocks!!!! its feminist core resonates SO strongly if you’re a woman!!!!

authoritarians, fascists, tech companies, corporations, they all want desperately to produce illiteracy. and that is what they are doing at scale. literacy, in its broadest definition, is a threat to power and they know that.

it is devastating to be bearing witness to this as an educator. as the thread mentions, the causes are likely manifold - LLMs, post-covid brain damage, teaching to the test, transactional HS teaching, students under increased pressure, attention span degradation. but it's devastating in combination.
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

"Fed is best" also applies to disabled people who live on benefits. Whatever a disabled person is able to consume is okay. We live on so little money, and your critiques of our eating habits are kinda gross. Thanks.

We do not live in a consent-based society. If you have to work a shitty toxic job just to get health insurance and a roof over your head, that is coercive.

Reading letters from the Princess Liselotte of Palantine, the German sister-in-law of Louis XIV, and it's wild because she had this super informal writing style that almost sounds like modern texts
Like at one point she goes "wish to god my son didn't love holding chunks of bread like a peasant"

‘Remigration’ is a term that comes out of the European far right. Its use by the DHS account is a sign of democratic and epistemic collapse
