How do you notice yourself changing how you express yourself in different situations, particularly on social media? Do you feel like those changes or expressions are authentic to who you are, do they compromise your authenticity in some way?
I feel like the way that you change yourself based on the people that you are with. Personally, I am very different between my family, friends, peers, teachers, etc. I don’t believe that I am pretending to be someone else in most of the scenarios, it’s just that I am different in those environments. In a way, they might compromise my authenticity but overall, it is just the way I perceive myself in those situations since I still have underlying traits that make me who I am.

The hills across the valley of the Ebro were long and white
The imagery of the white hills introduces the story’s central symbol.he “white hills” evoke both purity and sterility, foreshadowing the central tension surrounding fertility and the possibility of abortion. The opposing imagery of “white” hills and the “brown and dry” land mirrors the dichotomy between life and barrenness, reflecting the couple’s emotional divide and the choice they face.

Without proper support, new teachers are sometimes forced to develop their own instructional strate- gies through trial and error. This process can last for many years before it yields effective strategies. In many cases, teachers who use the trial-and-error process either revert to strategies that reflect how they were taught
Proper support is very important on the development of new teacher. Without guidance new teachers fall back.

Public archaeology seeks to promote awareness of what archaeology is, how it is done, and why it matters amongst members of the general audience
The tapestry likewise functions as an early form of “public history,” designed to make elite political events visible to a broad audience. It translates conquest into spectacle promoting awareness not of archaeology, but of ideology. Like public archaeology, it mediates between expert creators and lay viewers, teaching through visual narrative.

Although it is increasingly recognised that the tools we use to examine our objects of study change our relationship to them, this is not an area that has been studied in any great detail within Digital Archaeology beyond perhaps discussions of the effects of different categories of software (the impact of GIS or database applications, for instance, or the effect of enlarged access to open data sources) on how we organise and understand the past. I have suggested elsewhere that through understanding how these technologies operate on us as well as for us, we can seek to ensure that they serve us better in what as archaeologists we already do, and help us initiate new and innovative ways of thinking about the past (Huggett 2004; 2012a). This entails going beyond the relatively commonplace reflections on specific software applications and their context of use: the tools we create, adopt, refine and employ have the effect of augmenting and scaffolding our thought and analysis, and consequently I have argued that they need to be approached in a considered, aware, and knowledgeable manner.
it is highlights how the digital tools we use do more than organize data—they actively shape how we think about and interpret the past. He suggests that technologies “operate on us as well as for us,” meaning they influence not only the results of our research but also the cognitive processes that produce those results. This idea connects directly to my project on Tang poetry and emotion. When I use computational methods such as Voyant Tools and SnowNLP to analyze the emotional vocabulary of poems from the Tang dynasty, these tools shape the patterns I see and the questions I ask. For example, frequency counts or sentiment scores may emphasize some emotions while downplaying others that are culturally embedded in Chinese language and history. Therefore, as Huggett proposes, I must approach these technologies consciously and critically. They can scaffold my thought by helping me visualize large poetic patterns, but they can also reshape my understanding of the texts I study. This awareness encourages me to balance quantitative data with close reading and historical sensitivity, ensuring that the digital analysis deepens rather than distorts my interpretation of Tang emotional expression.

summary - The authors present a theory of dreaming and sleep that I resonate with, that sleep is a time in which the brain performs unconscious processing of memories, consolidating them by taking advantage of consciousnesss down time to perform massive parallel processing to connect memories together. - dreams are seen as a small conscious byproduct of the massive parallel processing task, and their meaning may have value depending on how we interpret them.

How can wake experiences be direct reflections of the sensory world at that moment while comparable dream experiences are created by the brain based on novel combinations of fragments of memories from the past? The answer must be that our experiences are always constructed by the brain; the very same processing that gives us dreams gives us waking experiences of reality.

for - key insight - paraphrase - adjacency - memory consolidation - sleep - massive unconscious parallel processing - From a memory perspective, - sleep can be understood as critically important for normal memory function, - given the lasting ramifications of consolidation. - Consolidation is the establishment of new connections - anchoring recent memories within relevant knowledge networks - While consolidation happens, some conscious experience (the dream) may be synthesized as the memory processing unfolds - Dreams reflect a storyline generated to make sense of a subset of activated memory fragments. - Consolidation that wires new connections happens across the entire cerebral context, without the constraints that come with conscious experience. - Unconscious processing during sleep takes advantage of massive parallel processing to connect all these thoughts together. - Dreams reflect a small portion of overnight memory consolidation work.

The critic in a critique must engage deeply in the substance of the problem a designer is solving, meaning the more expertise they have on a problem, the better. After all, the goal of a critique is to help someone else understand what you were trying to do and why, so they can provide their own perspective on what they would have done and why. This means that critique is “garbage in, garbage out”: if the person offering critique does not have expertise, their critiques may not be very meaningful.
I partially agree with this statement. From a professional perspective, it’s true that having a critic with expertise in the subject often leads to more meaningful and targeted feedback. Experts can identify deeper design issues, point out technical limitations, and suggest informed improvements that align closely with the problem being solved. Their insights usually help refine the project at a more advanced level. However, I also think that feedback from non-experts can still be valuable, even if it doesn’t directly address the substance of the problem. Sometimes, people outside the field can highlight user experiences or emotional reactions that experts might overlook. For example, in a UX design project, a non-expert user might not understand the interface logic or find a certain feature confusing. While this feedback might not tackle the technical side of the design, it still reveals accessibility or clarity issues that are crucial for improving the user experience.
-
Intuitive. Human beings are not born with much innate knowledge. What people mean when they use this word is that someone can infer from the information in a design what the purpose or intent of something is, based on all of the prior knowledge they’ve acquired in their life, including encounters with a long history of user interface conventions and domain concepts. That is not “intuitive,” but rather, closely mapped to someone’s knowledge.
I agree with this explanation of what intuitive is supposed to mean. There have been so many times where I've heard people say that "this product has such an intuitive design", and I've always wondered what that meant. I always thought intuitive meant easy to use and explicit, but I guess it doesn't. Information is only made sense of easily if the person understanding it has some level of previous knowledge that shapes their perception of the design. This part of the reading changes my perspective. I no longer think "intuitive" is a useful way of describing design because it's too vague and doesn't actually reflect what people are trying to say. Instead of saying a design is intuitive, I may use a different principle or explain what makes the information so easily understandable.
-
In many ways, being critical is easier than being generative. Our society values criticism much more than it does creation, constantly engaging us in judging and analyzing rather than generating and creating things. It’s also easy to provide vague, high level critical feedback like “Yeah, it’s good” or “Not great, could be improved”. This type of critique sounds like feedback, but it’s not particularly constructive feedback, leading to alternatives or new insights.
I personally think this kind of shallow criticism is mainly due to the heavy influence of social media. Platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok encourage quick, surface-level reactions, likes, emojis, or short comments, rather than thoughtful, in-depth feedback. People are trained to respond instantly, often prioritizing attention or social approval over meaningful engagement. This environment promotes brief, generalized judgments such as ‘cool’ or ‘not my vibe’ instead of nuanced suggestions or creative insights, which can make it harder for individuals to practice giving or receiving constructive criticism in more substantial contexts.

StrucciMovies. FAKE FRIENDS EPISODE ONE: intro to parasocial relationships. August 2017. URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3vD_CAYt4g (visited on 2023-11-24).
I find this video very interesting because it explain how authentic parasocial relationships can feel. These relationships can seem just as emotionally real as actual friendship by providing a sense of connection through posts, stories, and livestreams, even though we don't truly know the people online. For example, when someone leaves a comment for an influencer, and the influencer replies, it can give the person a false expectation that they've established a real friendship. In reality, this emotional connection is one- sided. I think it is very important to understand influencer culture. Platforms often encourage this dynamic to keep people engaged, making these interactions less about genuine connection and more about marketing. I think it is important for people to stay rational and aware when using social media, so they can enjoy the content without confusing the parasocial relationships.

The need to trust other people is obscured by the many institutions that we have created. Institutions have ways, sometimes, of getting around human whims and surprises.
This is something I haven't considered. We have systematically limited the trust humans need to have in each other and yet we still search for reasons not to trust or to trust each other.

Authenticity is a rich concept, loaded with several connotations. To describe something as authentic, we are often talking about honesty, in that the thing is what it claims to be. But we also describe something as authentic when we want to say that it offers a certain kind of connection. A knock-off designer item does not offer the purchaser the same sort of connection to the designer brand that an authentic item does. Authenticity in connection requires honesty about who we are and what we’re doing; it also requires that there be some sort of reality to the connection that is supposedly being made between parties.
This concept definition really resonated with me and made me think about the reality of the old and new twitter, specifically the verified tag. People used to listen and authenticate people online based on their verification tags, such as celebrities. Nowadays, that aspect is taken away because the verification tag can be bought now so it removes that barrier from fake/real.

Next, in step four, you generate sub-questions from your main question. For instance, “During the 19th century, what were some of the competing theories about how life is created?,” and “Did any of Mary Shelley’s other works relate to the creation of life?” After you know what sub-questions you want to pursue, you’ll be able to move to step five.
Breaking down these questions are like pieces, and when you put them all together, they help you see the full picture

In other words, you want to answer a question that you (and other people) have about the world. This is one of the most basic reasons for performing research.
researching a topic is you trying to solve a mystery and answering common questions

The concept of “AI-friendly” writing, with clear structures, explicit arguments, and well-defined concepts, will gain prominence, and of course will be assisted by AI.
Incentive for repetitiveness that would go beyond a human’s patience

I feel honored to be included in a group of books that can train AIs that I now use everyday. I feel flattered that my ideas might be able to reach millions of people through the chain of thought of LLMs.
You would not want to use an LLM that was trained on material that people came up with only to train an LLM, given the economic incentives.
-
The authors (and their publishers) will pay in order to have influence on the answers and services the AIs provide. If your work is not known and appreciated by the AIs, it will be essentially unknown.
At that point you aren’t doing authorship, you’re doing - SEO? Propaganda?

You're pretty goddamnsmart, I bet."Then he looked directly at me, just for a minute. "I ain'tsmart," he said. "If I was smart, I'd have reached for a pistol along time ago."
It’s ironic that Sonny got arrested, while the drifter was fine.
-
That's right.
I’m curious about why the man would do that. Was he kicking Sonny when he’s down?
-
He mustwant to die, he 's killing himself, why does he want to die?"He looked at me in surprise. He licked his lips. "He don 'twant to die. He wants to live. Don't nobody want to die,ever.
I thought Sonny was destroying himself because he wanted to die, but this line shows the opposite. It’s shocking that even through self-destruction, Sonny is still fighting to live.
-
For, whilethe tale of how we suffer, and how we are delighted, and howwe may triumph is never new, it always must be heard.
It’s troubling because it reminds us that suffering never disappears; people keep reliving pain through their own stories. The line suggests a cycle that’s hard to break.
-
Sonny's fingers filled the air with life, his life. But that lifecontained so many others.
It’s surprising how the narrator realizes that Sonny’s music expresses not only his own pain but the shared suffering of others. This shows a moment of understanding and connection between the brothers.
-
But now, abruptly, I hated him. I couldn't stand the way helooked at me, partly like a dog, partly like a cunning child. Iwanted to ask him what the hell he was doing in the schoolcourtyard.
Interesting because the narrator’s sudden hatred isn’t really about the boy but his own fear and guilt about Sonny, showing how deeply conflicted he feels inside.

you must also use confidence in your claim. Phrases such as “I feel” or “I believe” actually weaken the readers’ sense of your confidence because these phrases imply that you are the only person who feels the way you do. In other words, your stance has insufficient backing
You should make your point directly and confidently, without using those phrases because they can make your argument sound less convincing.
-
The tone is authoritative and takes a stance that others might oppose.
Your writing should be assertive and sure of itself, even if your viewpoint challenges what others think.

Your thesis statement should be in your introduction because you must make sure that the audience is aware of your paper’s intent so that there is clarity from the outset.

The textbook Successful Writing explains that writers need a thesis statement to provide a specific focus for their essay and to organize what they will discuss in the body of their writing. A thesis statement is an argumentative central claim in a paper; the entire paper is focused on demonstrating that claim as a valid perspective. Your thesis statement should be in your introduction because you must make sure that the audience is aware of your paper’s intent so that there is clarity from the outset
writing says a thesis statement helps you stay on track with your topic and keeps your ideas organized. It’s basically your main point, and putting it in the intro lets readers know what your paper’s about right from the beginning.
-
Readers might wonder, “Why are they not paid enough?” But this statement does not compel them to ask many more questions. The writer should ask himself or herself questions in order to replace the linking verb with an action verb, thus forming a stronger thesis statement, one that takes a more definitive stance on the issue:
The use of linking verbs creates more questions for the reader that should already be answered.

-
The best way to revise your thesis statement is to ask questions about it and then examine the answers to those questions. By challenging your own ideas and forming definite reasons for those ideas, you grow closer to a more precise point of view, which you can then incorporate into your thesis statement.
question your thesis until its fully supported
-
In addition to creating authority in your thesis statement, you must also use confidence in your claim. Phrases such as “I feel” or “I believe” actually weaken the readers’ sense of your confidence because these phrases imply that you are the only person who feels the way you do. In other words, your stance has insufficient backing.
confidence strengthens thesis, using "I feel" or "I believe" weakens the power of the claim you are attempting to make.
-
A thesis statement must concentrate on a specific area of a general topic. As you may recall, the creation of a thesis statement begins when you choose a broad subject and then narrow down its parts until you pinpoint a specific aspect of that topic.
thesis helps concentrate a general topic to smaller narrow sections

Cleaning Type Slugs Fast ! Removing Clogged Dirty Ink Typewriter Service How to Shine Those Faces by [[Phoenix Typewriter]]
Duane cleans type slugs by draping the typewriter with cloths and then using a metal bristle brush and lacquer thinner. Small picks or an X-Acto knife can help to remove gunk from the interiors of the closed letters.
He also uses tape to cover up the red paint on the word "De Luxe" so that the lacquer thinner doesn't damage it.
He finishes off with a small shot of Nu-trol, which is a degreaser with some lubrication, and then follows up with a shot of compressed air to thin it out.

The slugs are the metal pieces at the ends of the assemblies that start at the tops of the keys and go through the key levers attach to the segment (the semi-circular metal comb-like part in the "basket") via the typebars. The slugs are the ones that have the backward characters on them and when they hit the ribbon cause the letters to be applied to the paper. Over time the small loops of the characters can get filled with dust, dirt, ink, and bits of ribbon and as a result the type on your page isn't as crisp and good looking as you'd like.
Here's a handful of videos with a variety of methods for cleaning one's slugs: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2s8tE6P0YMQ - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgSAS45WGI0 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKGipBLA5Eo
You'll notice that for the day-to-day cleaning that people are using kneadable erasers, silly putty, or products like Bergeon Rodico 6033-1 as cleaning compounds for pulling ink and dust out quickly.

Psychologists call this the productive struggle: the idea that working through difficult problems builds resilience, confidence and deep understanding. Canadian-American psychologist Albert Bandura, a pioneer in motivation research, called it mastery experience – the boost in confidence that comes from figuring something out on your own.
I love the idea of a "productive struggle". I was told that if something is hard then that means you are learning something. For me, working through something, like a tough math problem, builds confidence and understanding. I lose that experience if I let AI solve that for me. I liked this detail because it reminded me why struggling is an important part of developing intellectually and becoming more resilient.

If you’ve ever used a GPS or satnav and realised later that you have no idea how you got to your destination, you’ve experienced automation-induced cognitive decline in action.
I've felt this before when driving somewhere familiar and realizing I don't know the street names. I rely on visual cues but not actual directions. Maybe I'm not "bad at remembering street names", and it's actually the result of a small habit, like turning on GPS, that can change how I think and remember things.

Is there anything you notice in this essay that you might liketo try in your own writing? What is that technique or strategy?When do you plan to try using it?
I found the concept of considering the context of a written work to be something I will use in my own writing. I often forget that I need to think of the author's intentions while reading and taking notes. I will try to use it both while reading for the upcoming essay when considering the sides people are taking, but also when reading for pleasure to understand the author's goal for the work.

They are not necessarilythe right questions to ask because there are no right questions.
This is an important point to make because oftentimes we will look at our questions and believe they are wrong or not-beneficial to our understanding of the work; while they are actually incredibly helpful.
-
Do you know the author’s purpose for this piece of writing?
This is an important question to ask yourself as it prepares us for our own writing by analyzing past examples of writing as a model. It also helps us to question what the author wanted to convey to the readers.
-
It’s pretty normal to get confused in places while reading, especiallywhile reading for class, so it can be helpful to look closely at the writ-ing to try and get a sense of exactly what tripped you up.
This is something I do personally. I use a notebook and write down specific quotes and placement in the text to go back over them and re-read and analyze for understanding later on.

At first, beginning teachers may find it difficult to fit into the broader school community, especially if the faculty is primarily composed of experienced teachers. Because of this, the mentor should strive to make sure that staff members generally include and accept the beginning teacher.
This is especially challening for the Early Childhood teachers beacuase we are typically in a seperate part of the building and often don't interact with the whole school as much.
-
However, a mentor should also offer extra information to a begin- ning teacher that gives the mentee an insider’s perspective on school operations. If a school memo states that after-school meetings end at 4:30 p.m., but in reality, meetings usually run until 4:45 p.m., share this information with the beginning teacher. Likewise, help the beginning teacher understand the school’s philosophy on classroom management. This can include sharing the school and district discipline guidelines, policies, and procedures, as well as informing him or her about unwritten expecta- tions, such as which discipline concerns a teacher should handle and which concerns the administration should handle. Information regarding parental support and involvement can also be important to relate to a beginning teacher. Talk to the beginning teacher about how to communicate with parents appro- priately, which can include sharing stories of interactions with both supportive and difficult parents.
This is so important to help the new teacher have in "insiders" perspecitve. I do not work in the building my mentee is teachering at so I have met with her principal and another lead teacher to help support her with some of these things.
-
Toward the end of the year, beginning teachers usually need institutional support again during the reflection phase of first-year teaching. Institutional support can help beginning teachers reflect on the school culture from the previous year and anticipate what it might look like in the next year and beyond. As the beginning teacher establishes new networks with colleagues and reaches out to the broader school community, the mentor can assist in facilitating a professional vision. 61
This is a good reminder to revisit needs at the end of the year too! Reflection and planning for the next year.

Where do you see parasocial relationships on social media?
I think this is very common these days. Influencers often like to share their daily routines or emotions through posts, stories or livestreams. Fans might feel that they have a strong emotional connection with the influencer because they know them very well, even though the relationship is entirely one-sided. People might even leave comments asking influencers to post more videos. I think Parasocial relationship can feel authentic in some ways, because watching influencer's video can be relaxing and joyful. However, they can also become dangerous if people become too obsessed and develop false or unrealistic expectations about the relationship.

Con 1
Cons: Can cause mass unemployment by robots taking over jobs. AI can give misinformation and make people lazy. Using AI bots to do everything for you, research, write your papers, and answer problems. Students are undermining education goals by using AI, which they will eventually suffer from. Increased laziness and lack of motivation since AI makes their choices for them. Dangerous privacy risks with things like being watched without your knowledge with facial recognition. Following the shopping patterns of people.

Pro 1
Pros: Can make life more convenient. It can make work easier, especially for students. AI did not take away reading or writing; it can create personalized content based on their interests. Give resources, videos, and activities that fit the student. Help with ways to study, help with task management. It can even help people with disabilities navigate the internet and everyday life.

Despite such precautions, experts noted that many of the new standards would be difficult to enforce, especially as new concerns and controversies over AI evolve almost daily. AI developers, for example, have faced criticism for using copyrighted work to train AI models and for politically skewing AI-produced information. Generative programs such as ChatGPT
Even with precautions, it's hard to enforce. AI programs like ChatGPT claim they give original information, but they break copyright laws, so now they need permission to use some information like Encyclopedia Britannica.

The central goal for curriculum in the 21st century is a focus on the construction of knowledge that encourages students to create information that has value for them and helps them gain new skills. Developing curriculum that is based in the real world also encourages student participation and supports them in understanding the knowledge rooted in the core subjects. Additionally, this will provide students with the opportunity to develop civic, financial, environmental, and health literacies as well as global awareness.
This is so promising! This makes updating rigorous teacher pre-service training increasingly important. I wonder how the rest of the world can follow this path? There are countries where the education system is still relatively backward, even as the world becomes a big village. Will technology make education accessible to everyone, wherever they are, with or without trained teachers? I believe this is feasible, and I cannot wait.

n this model, the receiver is actively involved in finding an innovation to solve their own unique problem. The model is flexible enough to encompass all types of innovations, including materials, methods, and groupings of learners.
I find all three approaches enriching, but I have a preference for this one. It might be because I am used to this project in development project proposal writing, but having the receiver's input is key to me. Identifying the need and getting receiver involved adds to the potential for relevance and success.

Loving something means caring enough to critique it, and we need the courage to do so on the dashboard’s home turf: the feed. Accept cringe and lower metrics in service of a higher purpose.
you don’t understand distortion power

And here’s the problem: Dashboard Culture has reigned supreme without any meaningful critique — not because we embraced it, but because so many abandoned the field to go Camo. Fifteen-second debate “owns” are the closest we get to public intelligent deliberation nowadays — but it’s just “critique” designed for and by the dashboard. No depth or sustenance. Just empty calorie spectacle.
that is not why

Camouflage Culture is the dinner party you’re not invited to, Substack paywalls, algo-speak, double meaning emojis, linguistic drift and slang, Chatham House Rules, three hour podcasts, IYKYK, ephemerality, anonymity, vibes, group chats, off-off-broadway, Yondr phone-locking pouches, the One Piece flag, deep-fried memes, Skibidi, niche subreddits, members-only clubs, and printed zines.
do we just want to believe this matters

Noise. Sensationalism. Spectacle. Reptilian-brain inducing pageantry.Does it register as a metric on the dashboard? If so, good.If you are not loud, you do not exist culturally, politically, or socially.
pressure to amplify
-
Today, with the immediacy of our digital networks and global participation, reflective distance has collapsed.There’s no room to wink online.No space to deeply criticize.No opportunity for friction.No time for aging.
there are these things but not in your feed

Kitsch says “this is genuinely beautiful to me,” while Camp says “this is so bad it’s good.” The crucial difference here is distance. The gap between the sincere gnome’s owner and its liberators is where Camp lives.
thought there was more here
-
Susan Sontag defined Camp as “failed seriousness,” the ironic appreciation of something striving and missing.“Camp sees everything in quotation marks.”
