sparks and thorns

I almost feel like autumn witch

Yes, I was thinking of it as of relaxing/reflective activity, no strings attached. Or tiny pieces of creative challenges to discuss and compare but again, more for fun than for serious commitment

Things like "write with ai and edit or guess where ai and where is a human written text" become a bit boring too soon..
How do you solve it?

What do you think will be helpful for students to actually boost writing skills and encourage them to do it without ai? I'm thinking that we could run like 10 min practice in class where they are in conditions that limit their ability to use gadgets/ai by default so they experience less temptation?

Never forget that Norman Rockwell, debatably the most famous American artist to ever put brush to canvas, was not afraid to show the ugliness along with the good. Having his work/reputation sanitized and trimmed into marketable nostalgia is about American as it gets.

Sure but when we migrate we tend to pay more attention to adapting, studying, learning and trying to compile a life in general so for many their language freezes! I am out of country now too but I read/speak/work everyday so I don't have a chance to miss new memes and little changes in usage.

How cool! Well, I know some families speak a bit outdated version of language because that was the stage frozen in the memory at the moment of leaving. And yes, some just want to know more or be able to write, for example. Creative writing may be tricky;)

How useful half-truth is, huh

Just delete things you don't like, easy. Of course

Oh, our diasporas are strong! I know because I teach Ukrainian to some representatives. I truly feel privileged to talk with them as people who know their history more generations back than my two.

And it's why Andrii, I and many many others write English in our profiles — together we are stronger

Yes, I feel ppl are different and many of us don't have fucks to give about it anymore. Like..all happened already.

Another f-ing night of cursed country attacking us

"Questioning is the way of learning,"

Encourage your children to ask questions, not to accept existing answers.

how the Cold War was influencing everyday lives? like ok, people in certain industries worked for this threat prevention but otherwise? Was media speaking of danger often?

they should really check their privileges or try living amongst literal war for last 11 years:/

Among my favourite Hookland dialect words is widkerwep - the sadness one feels at coming to the end of wood and seeing the last section of a path leading out of it. Hooklanders also use widkerwep to mean the taking of a needed action that brings a sense of loss. - #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WOTD

I started unsubscribing from all these endless retweet accounts. Sorry but if your personality never is seen because of these repost waves what's the point?

Anyway, from my cynical pow, I'm a bit fed up with USA dominating every media so I purposely add others to feed just to make ratio reasonable

With years I got better at not telling people my lifestory at most unsuited moments but if I like someone I tend to say absolutely whatever and ruminate later at "ffffuck...I shouldn't have'😅

I wonder if it was spontaneous decision or he planned meticulously.

Either way it's... refreshing to see.

How beautiful

I thought I would miss the climate of Ukrainian south but turned out I actually do not mind NOT dying from scorching boiling environment where shades and conditioners are your only means of survival 😸

Showed this to my student who learns Ukrainian

10 seconds of the sheer horror in their eyes when presented with the idea to work with each noun in each case😈

Out of spite I survived

But when my body trapped me I didn't understand fully what that survival was for. Even being one step from the door I was so calm and pretty much careless. My existence doesn't change anything. My absence won't change anything. I am nothing and nothing is me.

that kept me active and alive. Now I pretty much exist to not upset my cats by dying.

It's not that all my eggs were in one basket. It's the objective fact that I never had a basket. I was not planned or wanted. First twenty years I lived as an object of hate and immense anger.

Never had much motivation or enjoyment from living.

Now I exist in a bit disabled body and..

I was active, cool, charming, promoting my career, writing a blog and stories just for fun when

When I had a partner. I thought they were the one and by losing them I lost that additional joy of sharing

I experience this often 😅

In my childhood you could buy kvas on street, yes, from special big barrels. Also my mother used to cook it from black bread crusts, dryed in oven. It was a wonderful drink!

These repairs take time and money and would not be possible without your support. Total value of these three services is around ~12,000

Thank you.

And intersex people lose all their healthcare

The fundraiser is a bit stuck, can we change it?

I experienced such shortage of heart medication for 3 months in Europe (country is a small market) and I was fucked.
And i was lucky enough to have bought and not used the analogue which has side effects for me but it's better than no pill at all. Because with the main drug alternatives were out too
