I'm more complex than my profile suggests, and I would think that you are too.

Some people might be curious.

Also, I've been back tracing writing advice to the originators and some of it is WILD. Some of it has so warped from where it came from it's hardly recognizable from what it mutated into. We should be demanding citations for this reason. Repeated advice is often bad advice compared to the original.

김윤미 Kim Yoonmi (Surname First) @kimyoonmi.bsky.social · 16h

Writing advice that cites no source for the advice shouldn't be trusted. It's usually a poor approximation for the original author and you need to know the how and why of the theory, rather than a hammer of it it's "always true" to navigate its usefulness to you. #WritingAdvice #WritingCommunity

I could not find a single study or #academic paper on the conditions in #Regency England for interracial marriages, but did find this one Cambridge paper to show they did exist. I can't believe, however, that there was only "one" in the entire history given the surnames of Indian origin.

Now if they would tell me where I could legally put the bed... we could stop this back and forth.

So I called up the housing department once and this woman starts saying ridiculous things, so I asked for her supervisor and then I called recently since their system didn't seem to be working and they'd installed "your call may be recorded for quality assurance" Maybe a win?

Oh I screenshot this, so if you make a poor response, I'll 100% record it as you acknowledge rescinding your stance on genAI as precariously Pro and put you in the Pro-AI category.

김윤미 Kim Yoonmi (Surname First) @kimyoonmi.bsky.social · 1d

How about, Novlr promised to not be pro-GenAI and then sold out soon after partnered with ProWritingAid which uses GenAI. I can rewrite that as, "Use Scrivener and YWriter instead who never sold out and were both started by writers before Novlr existed and kept their promises."

Anti-AI stance (last post) here: https://www.threads.com/@novlrofficial/post/C_immJrotiC Earlier thoughts on AI here: https://www.novlr.org/the-reading-room/ai-and-you-emerging-technology-and-what-it-means-for-writers/ Unfortunately they are still partnered with ProWritingAid, which is pro GenAI.

This puts it into neutral ground. When they kick out ProWritingAid, then they can be anti. BTW, they aren't the only platform that is/or was owned by writers...

Talk is cheap, proof is in the pudding and the pudding failed. This leans them more pro-genAI than they know.

And you're calling out other people with this level of media literacy. Try again. Fact check when you can because even Dunning-Kruger should have been fact checked sooner. You sure posted a lot with a ton of confidence for someone with very little information.

김윤미 Kim Yoonmi (Surname First) @kimyoonmi.bsky.social · 1d

OMG, why do we have to have peer reviewed articles. OMG, but they have fact checkers that failed previously. But OMG, I can use wikipedia with a 40 year gap and no adjustment for the type of population that immigrates~~ OMG, I can't read statistics, why are you asking me to read statistics.

김윤미 Kim Yoonmi (Surname First) @kimyoonmi.bsky.social · 1d

Media literacy is lousy, but I didn't expect it to be this lousy in you. Always fact check when you can and I'm saying their reliance on ONE source and their cultural fluency AS A CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGIST isn't coming up pretty in the article.

김윤미 Kim Yoonmi (Surname First) @kimyoonmi.bsky.social · 1d

OMG, I don't have to fact check because NPR is always correct and never makes errors.

*I call you on it and show where they made a major error.*
They don't have to cite their sources on audio files!
*They do cite their sources on audio files.*
OMG, not like thatt~~~

You're losing credibility fast.

김윤미 Kim Yoonmi (Surname First) @kimyoonmi.bsky.social · 1d

NPR does mention the title of studies by name in other articles, so fact checking does mean looking at original peer reviewed studies, but they didn't link it.

Dude, you're coming off really lazy and too trusting.

김윤미 Kim Yoonmi (Surname First) @kimyoonmi.bsky.social · 1d

There is, it's called The Atlantic. NPR is mostly patronized by middle class white people. And I am 100% sure they didn't fact check the Monkey pox article because I read the original study. So no, I get to fact check their sources. They should link the original study by mentioning it by name.

김윤미 Kim Yoonmi (Surname First) @kimyoonmi.bsky.social · 1d

When you make an assertion, you have the burden of proof. And your burden of proof is at most Wikipedia where the findings vary widely by 40 years and doesn't account for the data I asked for. You really have issues with understanding data which weakens you positions on this page.

김윤미 Kim Yoonmi (Surname First) @kimyoonmi.bsky.social · 1d

YOU called it a study. I corrected your assumption. If you want to be trite with yourself, go ahead, talk to your past self and don't call it a study in the first place. As I said, Wikipedia is not a study and the dates provided are all over the place. Your proof is, therefore, invalid.

As a child, I always thought it was because people threw eggs, and it was like a "I dare you" moment, but that turns out to be a wrong notion. The original was "Edge on" but has a basis because the etymology for "edge" sounds similar to "egg." It's an eggcorn. lol Shouldn't it be an edgecorn? ;)

김윤미 Kim Yoonmi (Surname First) @kimyoonmi.bsky.social · 2d

So I found this etymology hilarious, to "egg on" really has nothing to do with "eggs" but has to do with edges. www.etymonline.com/word/edge#et... #WritingCommunity

Edge - Etymology, Origin & Meaning

Originating from Old English ecg, meaning "corner, edge, point" or "sword," derived from Proto-Germanic *agjo and PIE root *ak- "be sharp." As a verb (late 13c.),...

But what do you think adoptees/FFY, for those who watched it?

김윤미 Kim Yoonmi (Surname First) @kimyoonmi.bsky.social · 2d

However, I did like the whole, this doesn't diminish the adoptive family message by doing a reunion. It's not a tear in loyalties and wasn't made to be that way either. Also that surrenders can happen at any age. Not just teens.

On the other, I'm not thrilled with it being a "But we need your organ moment" which they did try to cut in half given the intro to the episode... I felt iffy about that. It's better than it was in the past in other shows, I can smell the effort.

On one hand, I liked they didn't show only one dynamic. And they didn't make the adoptee eternally pining for their birth parent(s), which is true in particularly men given up as babies (stats). So it felt somewhat researched?

Watson dropped a new season episode and the first episode had an adoptee🥚 element. They didn't portray the adoptee poorly, but I still felt 50/50 on the episode. Not sure if other adoptees watched it. Would love to discuss it, though.

That's also abuse though... That would make Dumbledore also an AH. Also Social services should have gotten involved somehow.

also centered around gay areas and clinics. Then failed to report the bias. So absolutely because I can freaking read scientific papers I want that thing linked to double check they aren't making up crap again. NPR, while leaning liberal, also has a white bias. Absolutely fact check when you can.
