this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me?
Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

Pope Francis made his final journey during Holy Week, walking with Christ through suffering and silence. On Easter Monday, as the world rejoiced in resurrection, he slipped gently into eternity. The shepherd laid down his life—and rose into the arms of the Risen Lord. Requiescat in pace.

Pope Francis lived his final Holy Week alongside Christ, bearing the weight of love and sacrifice. On Easter Monday, he was called home—rising not from the tomb, but into eternal light. A humble servant to the very end. May he rest in peace.

Pope Francis lived his last Holy Week in quiet witness, walking with Christ through suffering to glory. On Easter Monday, he was called home—his journey complete, his faith fulfilled in the light of the Resurrection. Rest in peace, good and faithful servant.

Children naturally think with boundless curiosity across domains and persistent creativity. Our education system often constrains this capacity with standardization. What if we amplified this Renaissance thinking instead? #edusky Read more here: open.substack.com/pub/drlangra...
