Please stop using Grok or any AI to prove a point on social media. Every time you use it, it drinks fresh water and sucks up energy. Every time you use it, it pollutes a neighborhood (that is probably Black or brown. Every time. Boycott it for the sake of the planet and your fellow human beings.

Such important findings. For many first-generation students, a low grade isn’t just academic — it feels like proof that they don’t belong. What’s missing isn’t ability, but access to support, information, and people who can say, “This is a setback, not the end.” #academicsky #socialworksky #highered

For many folks, the hardest part of getting sober isn't giving up alcohol, it's the social weirdness that ensues. So, I decided to make this sober Bingo card that may be helpful in taking the edge off of weddings and other big events in early sobriety #sobersky

The Digital Equity Act is an investment in rural America, in veterans, in seniors, in communities of color, & so many more. There's nothing "unconstitutional" about a Congressionally approved effort to increase broadband availability & adoption across the country. www.politifact.com/factchecks/2...
