In @aunz.theconversation.com, @genxmac.bsky.social explains a cycle starting when beginning-readers struggle behind their peers, prompting a poor reading self-concept, and worry 😟 about reading, esp in front of other people, aka #readingANXIETY😰. theconversation.com/too-many-stu... 🦋 #bskySPEECHIES

Too many students have ‘reading anxiety’. New research suggests it is triggered by problems in primary school

Reading anxiety involves excessive worries and apprehensions about reading activities.

A Professor can be hounded to death by the media for alleged plagiarism but tech companies can plagiarise on a worldwide scale and they’re left alone, celebrated for their “genius”…

Every day I’m roving around parts of Mars no one’s seen before and not once have I thought “you know what this spot needs? A shitty data center.”

Libraries make us a harder target for authoritarianism. Equal access to info, ideas, and space that doesn’t require a purchase to belong. Also: using the library means money stays in your community instead of streaming out to Amazon. 📚 What’s checked out on your card right now?

Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface

I’ve officially resigned as Associate Editor for Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience. It used to be a reputable journal, but became a case study in how forced automation destroys academic integrity. 👇

Eye-opening documentary on how consulting companies worked their way into Australian universities, and made very questionable management decisions, leading to serious problems. Seems like a clear warning to not rely on these companies. www.youtube.com/watch?v=quc2...

After a break with more TV-watching than usual, have a new idea. Need versions of films with option for those of a weak disposition of fast-forwarding over the gory bits. Thinking particularly of Boat Story, which I enjoyed except for all the places where I had to hide my eyes.
