I remember it from one of the Bedford guides to teaching writing. Elements of teaching writing by Gottschalk and Hjortshoj. I use that metaphor all the time

Being yourself, finding your way through a sea of language and information is an absolutely worthwhile process to take your time with.

Use your voice until you can hear how beautiful it is, far more beautiful than anything a LLM can produce.

Treasure your voice even in small ways. Its precious

Yeah it’s a bit of a hot take so I’m just looking at the pull quote. If it’s meant to capture the core argument, then it seems more like a tell on how cable news operates than a novel argument.

I’m sure there are some #teamrhetoric or #writingstudies folks out there with good ideas

My dog is the same way but he attempts and often succeeds in waking the whole house with his snorting and grunting before going back to sleep by himself :).

Thanks for this. I’m not so much looking for resources to teach sustainability as a topic but more at what makes teaching itself (and our courses and curricula) sustainable.
