Just watched this video and see that @emilymbender put it more succinctly:

"I do not see the point of writing essays as producing the form of an essay. If students are turning to some fallback (...) GPT or another human, the problem was upstream."

A little known feature of #Mastodon is the ability to create your own personal notes about an account.
This is a great way to potentially remind yourself why you follow particular accounts (or just about any other reason you can think of).

Also, these notes are private. The account does not know what you have written down, nor the fact that you have even made these notes.

Please #boost to help spread the knowledge around your networks. ☺️

This is your daily #wellness reminder to ***keep a small circle***
Make friends with people who want the best for you, ignore haters, and stay away from toxic people. Keep in mind that toxic behavior usually comes from fear and pain, and that toxic people are already paying the price for their behavior by living a life of misery.
You can go “goblin mode,” but I’m going to go “hobbit mode”: walking around barefoot in a comfortable home, eating more than three meals a day, splitting my time between tending my garden and writing, and occasionally getting pulled into an adventure by an old wizard.
Don't make me tap the sign
It’s interesting that the biggest communication challenge facing Mastodon communities is explaining that it’s basically a protocol and a network of independent, interconnected servers, which is what the Web, e-mail, even DNS and most of the fundamental services we use on the internet are, and always were.
It just illustrates just how much ‘Big Tech’ proprietary social media platforms swallowed up and walled off, if it’s now difficult to explain what the internet actually is!
