For their first project, my Kids and Society students have to create an infographic clarifying a common misconception about "kids these days." I'd prefer that they not use AI to create their projects, so I made my own infographic explaining why : )

Infographic titled "AI Isn't a Ticket To an A," explaining how chatbots work, what the data show about the prevalence of these technologies and how they're used, what we know about the quality of their output, and what we know about the impact that frequent use of these technologies has on their users and on content creators, low-wage workers, and the environment.

My drawn statement on Ai as standalone from my now finished minicomic as syllabus for new liberal studies class! As promised this is shareable, printable - all from my site, feel free to make use of it, cite me & let me know how it’s received. Share away all here! spinweaveandcut.com/fall-2025-sy...

a snippet of a mini-comic, at top - straight line stretches from point A to B. Immediately below, same dot at A, then becomes a curving, meandering line that winds through the page and ends at a point with rays and a question mark emanating from it. Text reads: "Nothing can do this for you - that robs you of experience and conflates answers with learning. Rather, it's all the decisions you make along the way, the mistakes, struggles, and surprises! These pathways you create - this is learning.

Been listening to the latest @blindboyboatclub.bsky.social and got wasps on the mind in the ‘wasps-are-being-pricks-again’ season…

Colossive Press @colossive.com · Jul 22

Since researching his Colossive Cartography, Spheksophobia, @petermorey.bsky.social has learned to love wasps. Sort of.

He's now donating all royalties (£1 per copy) to The Wildlife Trusts to help protect, restore and stand up for nature. Yes, even wasps.

#ProcreateDreams ANIMATION EXPERIMENT, a character from ANIMAL SPIRITS doing a run, skid stop, SLASH, then deep pondering what he’s just done (the character is called HANDSOME LAND PRINCE or HLP for short, and he is the old flame of SWEET SEA PRINCESS the shark)

BREAKING: Silksong will be out on September 4. Two weeks from today. Really.

Often, games that take 7+ years to make are plagued by mismanagement and painful burnout. But for Silksong? Team Cherry was having a blast. They still are.

This is their story: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

Why ‘Silksong’ Took Seven Years to Make

The highly anticipated indie game has been in production for so long that it’s become an internet meme
