LITERACY QUOTE OF THE DAY

Tuesday, April 23, 2024

“…in Afghanistan, the women refer to their illiteracy as blindness. When I asked them what they meant by that, one woman explained: ‘I couldn’t read, so I couldn’t see what was going on.’ In fewer than a dozen words, she described a system that men in power have relied on for centuries-keep women uneducated so they won’t know what’s going on.” – Sally Armstrong, Uprising: A New Age is Dawning for Every Mother’s Daughter

Saturday, June 10, 2023 Growing up, the "would you mind" question was the nice way of telling us to do something without telling us.

My younger sister said "no" the first time she was "asked" and was SO CONFUSED when dad got annoyed.

I don't remember how I reacted the first time I was "asked", but I completely understood her confusion.

I could have gone all day taking screenshots of this thread, but you get the point.

GET TO THE POINT!

LITERACY QUOTE OF THE DAY

Thursday, March 14, 2024

“To be scientifically illiterate is to remain essentially uncultured. And the chief virtue of a cultural activity–be it art, music, literature, or science–is the way it enriches our lives.” – Lawrence M. Krauss

LITERACY QUOTE OF THE DAY

Thursday, April 25, 2024

“The gulf between science and education has been harmful. A look at the science reveals that the methods commonly used to teach children are inconsistent with basic facts about human cognition and development and so make learning to read more difficult than it should be. They inadvertently place many children at risk for reading failure. They discriminate against poorer children who could have become successful readers. Many children who do manage to learn to read under these conditions wind up disinterested in the activity. In short, what happens in classrooms isn’t adequate for many children, and this shows in the quality of this country’s literacy achievement. Reading is under pressure for other reasons, but educational theories and practices may accelerate its marginalization.” – Mark Seidenberg

LITERACY QUOTE OF THE DAY

Tuesday, January 9, 2024

VIDEO GAME QUOTE OF THE DAY

Tuesday, January 9, 2024

“Unfortunately, we live on a planet with many limitations — genetic, mental, physical, etc — and on top of that, we have our memory erased at birth, which I believe to be a very diabolical thing, even though many spiritualists see it as a positive thing. So in a way, being delusional does provide more comfort, which is why many people want it. Why think about growing old when I can just play video games and forget about it? And why not waste my time with as many distractions as possible?” – Dan Desmarques

STUPIDITY QUOTE 2 OF 3

Friday, November 17, 2023

"Some people believe that arrogance is a forgivable sign of confidence. They do not understand that arrogance makes them unteachable. It comes from fear. Fear of not knowing. Fear of being stupid. Fear of being wrong. Arrogance is a protection—a faulty one." – Donna Goddard, Geboor: Spiritual Fiction

Sunday, July 23, 2023 For cleaning the Keurig, we needed 10 oz. of cleaner. My partner was pouring into the measuring cup:

Me: That's not ten. Him: It's ten. Me: That's not ten. Him: It's close enough.
