In fact why do we bother learning to read at all? I don't need to read to think. I shouldn't be forced to clarify my own thoughts or expect to understand anyone else's!

I think this is a good and important point! Synthetic fabrics can be great when they serve a purpose and are well made. Unfortunately good-quality swimwear and outerwear is still expensive! My kingdom for tween boy-sized pajamas that are all cotton and not embarrassing. My current white whale.

I saw Lucy's Dream too! Very cool, very trippy. Highly recommend their Moby Dick show if you ever get the chance. My husband went to the Viking sauna show, not my bag but he really enjoyed it. Fringe, what a time.

TV shows (or high-quality YouTube shows) for my tweens who love Adventure Time, Steven Universe, Gravity Falls, Avatar, Owl House, Amphibia, Star vs Evil, Big City Greens, Daria, Futurama, Justice League, Teen Titans OR Advice on how to get them into Star Trek (even Lower Decks didn't take?!)

My minor in Classical studies has never been more useful than on the Internet this week, when "useful" is defined as "ability to feel smug."

Le Guin on the idea that there is a secret to getting good at writing.
I will dispose of the first myth as quickly as possible. The “secret” is skill. If you haven’t learned how to do something, the people who have may seem to be magicians, possessors of mysterious secrets. In a fairly simple art, such as making pie crust, there are certain teachable “secrets” of method that lead almost infallibly to good results; but in any complex art, such as housekeeping, piano-playing, clothes-making, or story-writing, there are so many techniques, skills, choices of method, so many variables, so many “secrets,” some teachable and some not, that you can learn them only by methodical, repeated, long-continued practice — in other words, by work.

Companies Are Throttling Employees’ AI Use Because It’s Too Expensive
Sources and leaks from Amazon, Adobe, Atlassian, Citi, and more show what is really happening with AI right now: companies are trying to rein in AI use as costs spiral out of control.

Depending on your audience, I'd go with option 3 or 4. 3 is the most fun, 4 looks best in print and works well aloud, and implies a certain heft in the themes.

Is fun how the general public is convinced that things I've been using for decades—em-dashes, the rule of three, and now, apparently, serif fonts—are signifiers for slop. We're training people to use bad heuristics and we're going to make both design and the written word worse.

In my experience, younger kids don't know or care when a movie came out. Older kids might notice, but they have the curiosity and contextual baseline to find a move from 30 years ago interesting.

Have you read Piranesi by Susanna Clarke? It rips. A little sad but not in a devastating way. Shakespeare for Squirrels by Christopher Moore is a hoot. Do you f with short stories? Phantasya by Tanith Lee is one of her lighter collections, lots of fun stuff and beautiful writing.

This is the first year I haven't done that (the kids decided we as a family are done with Santa) and it was both sad and incredibly freeing. Slippery slope though, I almost didn't bother hiding the wrapping paper from them at all but that was a bridge too far.
