Translating, restraining kids, teaching multiple grades at once: Alberta teachers describe complex classrooms
Data rarely tells the full story. So when CBC News emailed a questionnaire to tens of thousands of Alberta teachers this January, we invited them to share stories to illustrate what classroom complexity actually looks like for them. More than 4,000 teachers participated.

Happy Publication Day! My translation of "Damnatio Memoriae" by Chilean author I. A. Galdames is out today in Neon Dystopia!

This dark science fiction story explores memory and loss on Día de los Muertos in future under constant surveillance.

"In a groundbreaking step to combat rising #antisemitism and further the education of #Judaism’s universal values, #German #publisher #GütersloherVerlagshaus, a subsidiary of #PenguinRandomHouse, is #translating The #Book of #Jewish Knowledge by the Rohr Jewish Learning Institute (#JLI) into German, with an expected release in #bookstores by June 2026.

This encyclopedic resource spans nearly 500 pages and covers 4,000 years of Jewish #history, answering 1,200 questions on Judaism—from fundamental inquiries like “What is Judaism?” to practical matters of daily Jewish life. It delves into #archaeological insights, #Midrashic parables, #Kabbalistic diagrams, and practical #holiday guides, making complex material accessible to general readers, students, and scholars alike.

The #translation project has received the full endorsement of Dr. Felix Klein, Germany’s Federal Commissioner for Jewish Life and the Fight Against Antisemitism."

While most of the news coming about AI is almost universally bad, there are a few good things that AI is actually well suited for, such as transcription of ancient texts:

www.medievalists.net/2026/01/32000-medieval-manuscripts-transcribed-using-ai/

It's worth reading through the article to see how they trained the dataset very narrowly and optimized it for energy usage. Given the decreasing numbers of young scholars going into these disciplines, I have been excited to see how AI affects translation and transcription efforts. While I don't think AI should be used for really...much of anything at all, I think this particular use is a very good one.
