the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

"but I can't find any adult books I like :( it's too hard" go to a library. please. go to a library and walk up to a librarian and say "please help me find a book" librarians WANT to help you. give them a list of YA and kids books you like and there will be someone there who WANTS to go wandering the adult fiction section giving you suggestions. take the books home. try them. hate some of them. try another one. until you find something you like. make a librarians day and give them a book recommending task and you will find something you like. there are so many books out there stop reading the same kids series over and over again.

Hi, i just wanted to ask how you were doing, as I appreciate your writing a lot and would rather you didn't burn out as it is not fun (says a burnt out writer)

hey baby! thanks for checking in on me, that's very sweet of you <3 I'm doing alright, unfortunately I am getting burnt out but not necessarily on writing! I'm taking 4 classes this semester and one of them is extremely rigorous, I'm talking 2 8-minute long speeches researched, written, memorized, and performed every week. on top of that I work 40 hours and I'm trying to maintain a stable romantic relationship so i find myself with very little me time which can make it hard to write! but I'm on vacation in ny with my best friend this week so I'm hoping to unwind! We're actually writing side-by-side right now it's very cutesy and fun and healing <3

every time someone writes a man doing carpentry and home repairs as some kind of shorthand for said male character living out a common masculine ideal i find it really disconcerting because that's the thing my mom does in her spare time.

it's very much a, I know exactly what you're doing BECAUSE it is not having the intended effect on my conclusions/assumptions about this character as a reader, sort of dissonance

so we know that dehya can read seeing as she reads the letter her father left for her at the very end of her story quest ( i feel like literacy rates are not particularly great in the desert, so dehya is probably a rarity in that regard ), but i don't think she bears any great love for reading. i think she was taught to read by kusayla in his well-meaning but fumbled attempts to prepare her for a life beyond the desert ( knowing that literacy would stand her in good stead when she eventually left the desert and was employed by the homayani family ), but dehya only learned to the extent that it was a functional skill. she could read letters, she could read signs and documents and merc contracts, but you would be hard pressed to ever find dehya reading a book.

this doesn't mean that she doesn't enjoy stories, however. her father would stage plays for the whole of dakah al-ahmar and was clearly a man with a very vivid imagination who enjoyed verbal storytelling ( and for all the man's faults, as a child dehya enjoyed that escapism from the harshness of desert life ). so this means that dehya would much rather someone read or tell or even act out a story than she would actually sit down and read a book herself.

Virtual Reality Classrooms: Stepping into Tomorrow

Imagine students donning VR headsets, transported to ancient civilizations or exploring molecular structures up close. Virtual reality classrooms are revolutionizing learning, turning textbooks into immersive experiences. In Dubai, where innovation is a way of life, VR classrooms are poised to reshape traditional learning paradigms.

One of the defining characteristics of modern education in Dubai is the integration of cutting-edge technologies that enhance learning experiences. Virtual reality (VR) classrooms have emerged as a game-changer, offering students immersive and interactive environments that transcend traditional teaching methods. Imagine a history lesson where students can virtually visit ancient civilizations or a science class where they explore complex molecular structures up close. VR classrooms not only make learning engaging but also foster deeper understanding and retention of concepts.

I've been stuck (again I know) in something of a drawing rut, so I've fallen back onto the fail safe of drawing memes, this time the 'tasteful sideboob meme' since I've been feeling self indulgent lately

I've got four slots full with the ranger boys (brax, nef, qwark, and ratchet) but now I'm wracking my head for the fifth, artists choice of shirt cut, slot.

Albedo shows you another memory. This one is a storybook, illustrated elegantly but undoubtedly for children.

“Was this yours?”

He shakes his head. “No. My sister’s.”

He turns a page. A young girl’s face smiles up at you from the paper. She looks kind. You glance between her and Albedo; you can see the resemblance.

“You loved her?” you ask.

“Very much. She was the brightest thing this world ever knew.” He combs through the storybook, talking about his sister and the lost memories he can only ever brush against here; the games they played, the smiles they shared, and the fondness he has never lost for her, even now.

The look in his eyes is faraway. He’s lost, you notice. Lost in a different time and in some ways a different place. His attention is completely elsewhere. He’s wandering away from you and into what was with that hint of a wistful smile on his face which doesn’t quite mind being there. Honestly, you think he’s telling himself all of this more than he is you.

And, for now, you let him.

-🎻 anon

i wonder how heartbreaking it would be if, when you asked if he loved his sister, he paused...

"did you love her?"

and albedo's little smile fades into nothingness. there's a slight draw to his brows when he replies, "i don't know." he seems confused. "perhaps i did, once upon a time. it was so long ago." his smile returns but with a bitterness that is palpable. "time is not kind to survivors."

I have a phone interview shortly for a course I applied for, and nearly all the information they gave me to look at beforehand or have available during the interview, is for a different course

and I will absolutely be bringing this up during the interview

No babe it’s so cool and hot that you always insist that fantasy books written to meet a 4th graders’ comprehension skills have more complex themes and a greater sense of praxis than anything written for adults

EDIT: After a week of this, not one person yelling at me has made a compelling argument for why they, at an age greater than 21, have a reading diet that is more well-rounded and healthier than someone who branches out even occasionally beyond ONLY reading books for children and young adults. And that ONLY is really tripping you guys up. And many people seem to think that this stagnation is just a natural state that cannot be worked on or that it’s rude to think a grown adult should want to better themselves and broaden their horizons. I feel sorry for everyone who thinks that way. Beyond the snark and snipping at a fraction of the absolutely deranged responses to this post, the almost-defeatism of that mentality makes me more sad than I can express. I hope one day you all change your minds and flex your muscles. You might surprise yourselves.
