Someone called me pretentious because I’d “rather look up words in a 500-year-old dictionary” than ask Grok. But isn’t there something beautiful about reading old books, reciting Victorian poetry, studying languages? If you’re not mad about learning, you’re not going to make it.

on the blog today: a #bookreview of GRACE NEEDS SPACE! by benjamin a. wilgus & rii abrego, a lovely and nuanced middle grade sci-fi graphic novel about space travel, dealing with people who disappoint you, and learning to ask for help. https://t.co/WEQotzn2Eo

I will say it again: is is essential that you, as an adult, free yourself of whatever trauma the school system might have given you and realise that learning is a joy and a privilege and that curiosity should forever be a core part of your life.

@alyssakeiko high school english teacher here. my current “catch AI” strategy is looking for fake quotes. kids are turning in papers that are supposed to include quotes from our readings as evidence, and then…the quotes they use don’t exist? it’s baffling.
