This is Trawsfynydd ☢️ Power Station in Gwynedd, Wales It commissioned in 1965 & operated for 26 years until 1991 It took 6 years, until 1997, to remove the spent ☢️ fuel rods Demolition was to be between 2020-26. But because the site is still so radioactive it’s not expected to complete until 2083

By the way, if you're a UK children's publisher (big, indie, micro, whatever) who's focusing a lot on translated fiction for children, I would like to be aware of you for teaching and knowledge type purposes. Thank you! (I already have a few on my radar but any suggestions welcome).

Problems with attending Christmas events as an undiagnosed and unassisted neurodivergent person of a certain age: 1. When I get stressed, I can’t recognise faces. This always comes as a surprise, so I have no strategy. I just act really excited to see everyone. Even folks who I know hate me.

Well this is grim

weird interaction with a student this week. they kept coming up with weird "facts" ("greek is actually a combination of four other languages") that left me baffled. i said let's look this stuff up together, and they said ok, i'll open a search bar, and they opened... ch*tgpt

and i was like "this is not a search bar" and they were like "yes it is, you can search for anything in here"

the thing that made me feel crazy is like. every kid that's using this as a browser is getting new BESPOKE false "facts." this isn't "a widespread misconception about X that stems from how it's taught in schools." each individual kid is now hooked into a Nonsense Machine

with the "widespread misconception about X" you can start at a baseline. like, ok, in tenth grade we all talk about X thing from history, and that leaves us with some misguided concepts about X, but we can correct that as students get broader understandings of the world

but with this, each child is getting UNIQUE wrong facts they are SURE are correct... because they did what we told them to do! they "looked it up"! they got it from somewhere! it's not a kid making up a belief on hearsay and assumption... it's something they think they LEARNED

this kid was extremely combative with me, and i understood why. i was sitting in front of him and telling him that the internet, a computer, technology, all these supposedly authoritative things... were wrong. and that i, one person, was right. he basically *couldn't* believe me.

he decided that i was simply a teacher who'd made a mistake. he could check it, after all! he could look it up! he could find the REAL facts. i obviously hadn't done that, i was just an adult who'd decided i was smarter than him. hence the defensiveness. like i said: i understood

Trauma survivors aren't sensitive to criticism because we're "thin skinned"-- we're sensitive to it because our nervous system has internalized connections between criticism, shame, punishment & abandonment. We've been trained to flinch at early warning signs of all sorts.

Over 2+ years of working on a biography of Elon Musk, I've learned that his ambitions are significantly grander than anyone realizes. He wants to be the first trillionaire ever. He wants to be the most famous human who ever lived. He wants to rule the world. He wants to live forever. All literally.

Today’s poem is called ‘Needles’.

This poem, entitled 'Needles' is presented in the form of a Christmas tree. These words form the shape of the tree:

I
wrote
a poem
in the shape
of a Christmas
tree but then forgot
to water it and only a few

days
later
there

And these words are distributed around the base of my poem 'tree' as if they've fallen off it:

were
words
all

Why is it not possible for Australian journalists to say “Netanyahu and Dutton are trying to blame the Labor govt for a synagogue bombing which of course was not the Labor govt’s fault, and they’re doing this for clearly politically opportunistic reasons”. This is fact. Why can’t they say it?
