"Who taught you how to be media literate???"
"YOU, ALRIGHT?? I LEARNED IT FROM WATCHING YOU!!!"

When our son was 10 he would ask questions about whatever narrative we were consuming together and it took one talk like "those questions you're always asking are called the story and if you're patient you'll find that they get answered eventually" and a lot of the internet needs that refresher.
"WHY'S SHE DOING THAT?? WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT, I'M BORED" well the cool thing about following a narrative is that eventually if you keep watching or reading or listening, magical bits of information are doled out

Finding your voice is fun as hell. Essay writing is fun is hell when you find your voice. I write with the intent of making myself giggle. Usually the people who read it also giggle. Who ever started "academic is dry" is a boring person.
It is kind of ironic that schools have spent so many years trying to convince students that academic writing should be completely devoid of any personal voice and are now in a state of crisis trying to deal with students using generative AI to write assignments that completely take away their voice.

Gimme like....two weeks with any quirky arcade racer and I could probably at least be An Obstacle in local or regional tourneys.
Been thinking about the idea of “pro” gaming lately and like outside of obvious e-sports actual professionals, I feel like most ppl who play video games have one game they’ve played enough to be a pro. Like I’m not a great gamer usually but I do think I could do regional Mortal Kombat tournaments

I've noticed that every time I level up in school a bunch of people in my life decide to as well.
Bunch went for the first time when I got my AA. I got my BA a bunch went and got second degrees or finished abandoned degrees. Got my MA and a few went for pro degrees. Started PhD and 2 are applying.
