The depth & breadth of the requirements that admin puts on learners and instructors across grade levels is nearly diabolical, and rather than reviewing curriculum or learning outcome goals, they'd rather just do the "easy" thing. Easy, of course being a harmful cheat that hurts pretty much everyone.

TY for the input, I appreciate it. I often think it would be better if we had those convos, so we know that even small actions help AND that there are folks that can succeed where we can't, and we can succeed where they can't, so in the end, we are covering a LOT of ground!

I swear, the harm they are doing with this is so ridiculous. I just came from a professional talk where I was discussing open pedagogy (and deliberately talking about human-generated content) and folks wanted AI for skills that they NEED. Just ARGH.

If you can provide $3k checks for the entire middle class of America by taxing 900 people a little more, not only should you do it, but you should take it as a signal that your monetary system is broken

I'm so sorry you're experiencing this issue. You shouldn't have to deal with this kind of garbage.

Sharing makes all the difference.

We are experiencing a financial hardship from my husband’s reduced work hours. We tried to get ahead of facing eviction & car repossession this month & have had zero luck.

Things are dire.

So please help us stay housed & keep our car.

Thank you πŸ’›

I keep wanting to do a thread on things I boycott and how easy/hard it was to actually boycott them. I feel like folks might be interested in the difficulty of some boycott actions and alternatives.

Now I just have to get up the energy. Coming soon? Maybe? πŸ˜‚

Good morning #writingcommunity!

My insomnia is your gain! I got sick of the scammers targeting authors with their "wow what genre? dm me, i will beta read for u" or "i do illustration, dm me" bullshit, so I made a moderation list.

Feel free to @me whenever you find one to add to the list!

The more news entities move to plagiarism machines, the less accurate and less reliable their reporting becomes, the less people will go to them for news. They're literally ushering their death in through the front door.

Were it not for public pressure, Chatcontrol, in its worst form, would be in force in the EU today, meaning mass-surveillance of all of us.

It isn't. Chatcontrol 1.0's extension just got declined by the LIBE committee, and 2.0 could very well meet the same fate.

Never give up #savespeech
