#YOURE AN EDUCATOR. KNOW BETTER.

[nykloss]

It is absolutely horrifying seeing so many educators in the groups I'm in promoting the use of AI to generate lesson plans, to come up with articles for their kids to read, to grade student work, etc. That technology isn't there yet, it's spitting out fake information, and even if it WAS correct it is so incredibly unethical at this point.

If you don't want your kids using AI to circumvent your assignments, don't feed the AI with the ability to do so by using it to MAKE your assignments. Good grief.

look through the blog of a token jew and see how much they cared for the whole being jewish thing before october 7th

also while im having my afternoon bitching moment i think a lot of analog & common horror games relies on being ableist and having the 'scary disfigured person' trope that harms actual people, even if it isn't the creators intent. if youre old enough to publish actual games youre old enough to get some perspective on how you may be hurting others—especially when it comes to horror and using disabled bodies as a visual meant to horrify people.

Sillybilly me for thinking uh- two degrees, a work in progress third and 5+ years of experience was more valuable knowledge in my chosen field than my nanna’s sage advice

anyway please show love to your queer and indigenous friends and show support for the groups and organizations trying to make a difference for these communities IN the states they live in. most of us don’t want to leave, and we shouldn’t HAVE to leave to be recognized as humans worthy of rights and respect and love, not just by our representatives but also by queer people (especially white people) in big cities in the north who assume their experiences are universal.

I don't hate my job or anything, but man, being a float educator is so fucking thankless

[weekend-conspiracy-theorist]

I've been reading a lot more nonfiction lately, and I really genuinely think everyone with even the slightest interest in writing should as well. nothing like solidly constructed conservational or historical narratives to give you a sense of real human behavior, realistic world building, and the depth and breadth of the human experience

Finally figured out how to block people from a sideblog on mobile. Now I can ensure anyone I don't want reblogging my posts from plushie-lovey won't be able to

If i had a penny for every time I saw the most braindead, authoritarian ass kissing, take on Home Education? I'd be so rich

Some of yall looooove to preach anarchism, socialism, general anti capitalist 'takes a village' non-nuclear family social concepts.

But the MOMENT someone mentions that hey isn't state/public school is kind of fucked up and literally designed to keep the poors off the streets and funnled into low income work? Maybe I'll try something else with my kids? Right back to fascist ass kissing.

Like god forbid we allow alternate forms of education. God forbid we allow social protest. God forbid theres an option to take children out of abusive school enviroments without being thrown in prison. God forbid there's alternate options for disabled children that don't force them into 'special classes' if the state thinks they're too disabled or given no accommodations if it thinks they're not disabled enough.

The moment it comes to a kid's autonomy and not being forced into actively harmful environments? Its right back to 'think of the children 😱' conservative bullshit and workhouse apologism. Its not based on facts, because that would show Home Ed kids achieve just as well in the end. Its based on rightwing style emotional politics. Get fucked honestly.

I am not your little victim. I am not a brainwashed religous nut. I am a leftwing socialist BECAUSE i was raised in an anti-authoritarian style of education which focused on my autonomy and interests.

You will never know how to tell bad academic literature from good academic literature unless you’re willing to read academic literature and take experts in good faith

Just check their sources and those sources, look up anything that seems to be sketchy or outside their purview, familiarize yourself with common biases in those fields and you’ll be fine.

I realize that’s a lot of things but I will repeat this until long after I have become a ghost: there are NO shortcuts to literacy. None.

Don't let all this different concepts and ideologies fool you, most of it are fake empowerment and most of them don't know how to really delivery the message.

Stay true to yourself and what you believe and if you are interested to learn more about the female empowerment topic just go and learn from strong women inside your family, friends or even celebrities that needed to go through bad things and didn't let the society to shape them to get where they are.

But all this femme fatale, light feminine, trophy wife... all this are BS and the only one that benefits form this are men not us.

With love,

I don’t think enough people are going to be worried about the teacher shortage until they realize how many public schools are starting to pull basically anybody off the street to babysit their children for 8 hours

[bueris]

okay maybe I should seriously reconsider my path in life and sell my soul to marketing or journalism instead

[genuflectx]

Maaan I love the optimistic advice "keep practicing and you'll get better at art" as much as the next artist, but it always rubs me the wrong way when that evolves into "just keep practicing and you WILL 100% succeed and CAN get into the industry."

It changes from good general advice to implying you're just doing something wrong if still haven't "made it" yet. Not in the industry? Well, you just haven't worked hard enough, obviously, as if there aren't plenty of other factors that play into "succeeding” in a highly competitive industry like art.

Don’t let advice that’s supposed to be encouraging turn into something discouraging 😭
