It’s widely known (and, I think, pretty uncontroversial) that learning requires effort — specifically, if you don’t have to work at getting the knowledge, it won’t stick. Even if an LLM could be trusted to give you correct information 100% of the time, it would be an inferior method of learning it.

Oh my god that is the worst possible answer

The trans community’s trust in the NHS’ new puberty blocker trial is low and I can’t help but wonder whether they could have prevented that by involving ANY trans people in its design or operation, and maybe not involving several people who have attended conferences of anti-LGBTQ hate groups

It's Trans Day of Remembrance. They won't ever be able to get rid of us, no matter what. No amount of hateful legislation can change the fact of our existence.

Pleased to report that 30 min of daily drawing my current favourite shithead while listening to his four-song playlist is starting to pay off. #captainthekla #overworkedasusual #butweregettingcloser #ravenorseries

The Calgary Medical Students Association and the U of A Medical Students Association have written an open letter to the Smith government “imploring” them to reconsider 2 tiered healthcare in Alberta. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Finally, about five years later, my kids and I are going out to buy our own Christmas tree! 🙌🎄 In last years, I've borrowed one or trudged out to the mountains to cut one down (with permit) Buuuut we all agreed sweeping up needles is no fun, and we want one of our own!

"Get his ass” Is so unreasonably funny to me. A huge win for the English language. Today's version of "seize him" imo

Saskatoon berry grunt or blueberry grunt is literally one of my favorite desserts to make and eat, and especially to serve I never tire of the baffled look visiting friends give me when I say we're having Grunt for dessert 😂

It isn't perfect, but I made this piece for my lil lassie for her birthday. I finally managed to finish it this week. (The creative block is brutal, but anything for my kids will keep me plodding through it) #embroidery #crafting

"But it's not only the letting go — there's also the rejoicing of how we can break the system that created the trauma and the division between us and the original caretakers of the land."

Thank you to The Mountain Goats for helping me cry this morn with their new Rocks In My Pockets song I remember once cataloguing a good luck charm for a soldier, that came home the exact same way. Oh how we make meaning out of little things that keep us moving, until we don't. Uh so yeah thanks 😭💜

Hey guys, if u haven’t heard of them yet Feeding America is a wonderful resource to help provide American families facing food insecurity fresh meals! For a single dollar they provide TEN meals to families that need them! I donated and even if you give just a dollar it helps a lot of families!

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse. I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Two firms that invested far less are getting $238 million. Taxpayers face more such hits. thetyee.ca/Analysis/202... #Alberta #abpoli

This is why I regularly let people know how awesome I think they are. We often think that awesome people must naturally know they’re awesome, but they don’t. And letting them know could be the little push that they really needed that day.

Hell yeah, get it Queen 👑 Live your best life 🐄 (one of my little joys is rooting for these gals while drinking my morning tea)

I worked at the regional HG of the LA Co. Public Library for a while. Baker & Taylor shipments would come through and I'd process them out to everybody in our region. It's a robust system. Private equity is the enemy.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Why are OSINT accounts having to be the ones spreading facts and countering lies from Congressional leadership and the White House? Where the hell is the media?

“The Dominion Society of Canada celebrated the coverage. Their goal is to normalize the concept of mass deportations of non-Europeans, and Tyrie says he wants to make Conservative Party of Canada leader Pierre Poilievre use their word for it (remigration) by the end of the year.”

You’ve heard of Duo Lingo, but I found Uno Longo.
