hey gays. the time has come when i too have had to create a gofundme 😓 i'm fundraising so that i can move to europe, marry and be with my partner 🏳️‍🌈 i'm struggling hard, and this whole process is neither easy nor cheap and i have zero support from anyone but my partner. i'll be grateful for any small amount or simply a share would be immensely wonderful 🙏

you can find the gofundme HERE

or my PayPal HERE

thank you all in advance 🥹♥️🙏

our story began on tumblr, and we're trying so hard to make it our constant, our every day.

Schwarzenegger winning seemed like the most embarrassing thing that would ever happen in politics at the time and now he’s to the left of every elected Republican and a few Democrats and just makes videos going “young men, my fadda was a Nazi and he was a contemptible loosah”

for everyone losing their shit in the notes: the movie is called Junior (tvtropes link) and arnie is the pregnant one.

I think the folks who support the use of AI in education are missing the point of essay assignments.

Like you are not trying to educate the teacher. You are not trying to demonstrate your ability to produce an essay.

The ENTIRE POINT of Essays is to demonstrate that you understand the material. And you cannot do that if you are not writing the essay yourself.

As a teacher, I would also say, the entire point of the essay is to prove you know how to craft an argument. You can find data, confirm that data is correct, and organize it in a way to show that you know you understand the data you found. If it's really good: you've proven you can be convincing.

These skills help you discuss, debate, and understand things (both facts AND misinformation) far more.

They help you become familiar with crafting an argument, practicing the physical skill of writing, and using formal language that you might need when talking to someone in a position of authority in the future.

At the end of the day, I never cared if my students could remember a historical fact or figure. I cared if they understood the concepts and the practical skills that they could then use in their future careers.

AI will never help with that. Because it keeps the student from ever understanding how to understand in the first place.
