This much needed, nuanced piece finally pushed me to sit down & get all my thoughts out about the "literacy crisis." It's my best attempt to combat the moral panic clickbait that circulates in The Discourse™️ and offer a fuller account of #literacies in the plural. substack.com/home/post/p-...

This is a comprehensive and disturbing overview. But in making such a compelling case for regulation, I am surprised the author doesn’t mention the EU’s AI Act or the Council of Europe’s Treaty. I know it’s not possible to cover everything, and these instruments are imperfect 1/2

This bag, designed by Rock Paper Scissors, was spotted by journalist Nader Al-Sarras on a Berlin subway. It says: "This text has no purpose other than to spread terror in the hearts of those who fear the Arabic language." And if you don't believe this, I checked it. It does.
