#School in the age of #AI
It cannot be about sorting children into achievers and nonachievers anymore.
Because that will be about who is best with #ChatGPT.

If you want an answer without chatgpt, it has to be written or oral.

If you want materials that cannot be copypasted, they need to be in print.

And if we want motivation, school has to be about tasks that make a difference in the world.

School needs to manufacture #critical #thinking, not proficiency with tools.

I'm personally bothered by the rise of #antinatalism, because I know I definitely want to have #kids.

I want to give them the #unconditional #love and #respect that I didn't get enough of #GrowingUp. I want to do my best to raise them with respect for #nature and their #community, and to be #critical but #compassionate and #OpenMinded. I know the #world is broken and it isn't on them to fix it, but I know that the last thing our world #needs is fewer #children in it.

Massive expansion of Italy’s Piracy Shield underway despite growing criticism of its flaws

Walled Culture has been following closely Italy’s poorly-designed Piracy Shield system. Back in December we reported how copyright companies used their access to the Piracy Shield system to order Italian Internet service providers (ISPs) to block access to all of Google Drive for the entire country, and how malicious actors could similarly use that unchecked power to shut down critical […]

I only just started this book but I fucking love it. Please read. Thank.

osupress.oregonstate.edu/book/

but no srsly, thank you for considering it. It feels like talking to a friend who Knows how fucked up your family is.

You've been away for a while, so you're shielded from the worst of their damaging tantrums, but uncompromising bare facts of the situation still sober you up somehow.

osupress.oregonstate.eduIndigenous Critical Reflections on Traditional Ecological Knowledge | OSU PressWith more than fifty contributors, Indigenous Critical Reflections on Traditional Ecological Knowledge offers important perspectives by Indigenous Peoples on Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Indigenous value systems. The book aims to educate and inspire readers about the importance of decolonizing how Indigenous Knowledges are considered and used outside of Native communities. By including the work of Indigenous storytellers, poets, and scholars from around the globe, editor Lara Jacobs and chapter authors effectively explore the Indigenous value systems—relationships, reciprocity, and responsibility—that are fundamental to Indigenous Knowledge systems and cultures. Indigenous languages and positionality statements are featured for each of the contributors to frame their cultural and geographical background and to allow each Indigenous voice to lead discussions and contribute critical discourse to the literature on Indigenous Knowledges and value systems. By creating space for each of these individual voices, this volume challenges colonial extraction norms and highlights the importance of decolonial methods in understanding and protecting Indigenous Knowledges. Indigenous Critical Reflections on Traditional Ecological Knowledge is an essential resource for students, academics, members of Tribal, state, and federal governments, Indigenous communities, and non-Indigenous allies as well as a valuable addition to environmental and Indigenous studies collections.   Contributors include: Melinda M.

#UnitedHealth is positively #fucking #EVIL for intentionally denying #critical care and services to autistic #children for #profit. They know *exactly* what they are doing.

This damning #ProPublica article highlights UH's strategy via secret playbook to deny children care. Absolutely eye-opening.

As an #actuallyautistic #human who #parents an #autistic #child, this is horrifying and utterly reprehensible.
