    (Attributed)

  6. I'm thinking as an alternative to social media, I'll send hand-written notes along with a couple of printed photos to certain friends and family members. It might be only a few times a year, but still. I also have sent stickers to my anarchist / activist friends via snail mail in the past, which was greatly appreciated! (And I gave human artists some income in the process). Yeah, stickers and photographs. That's the way to go...!

  11. So, a few years ago, one of my nieces bought me a calligraphy kit (I used to do it a long time ago). When contemplating how to keep in touch with friends and family post-social media, a friend suggested I start writing letters again. I like that...! Also, I do write personal notes in my holiday cards, so I suppose that counts.

    On a related note, this workshop shows I'm not the only one who wants to revive the nearly lost art of #LetterWriting (sorry folks in #Denmark ).

  16. While waiting for my friend to arrive, I found a secluded picnic table and wrote in my diary. I haven't written in a diary in years! Not a physical one, anyway. I would sometimes write me-only posts on FB, but of course, those weren't really me-only, and now FB locked me out. It felt good to write down my thoughts and feelings, surrounded by trees, with the sounds of the nearby ocean, sea birds, and children playing at the beach.

  21. What Do Students Lose When They Stop Writing?

    Educators are worried that many students can no longer write essays without #AI . And it’s costing more than just grammar skills.

    By Dana Goldstein
    Aug. 17, 2026

    Excerpt: "A growing number of educators are alarmed, and insist that students should write without A.I. These teachers are returning to #handwriting, #BlueBooks and proctored, in-class essay tests — all attempts to prevent students from outsourcing their writing to #chatbots.

    "This is baffling to tech industry leaders, who see A.I. rejection as a form of educational malpractice. They point out that writing is already the leading use of A.I. in the workplace, and argue there is no need to continue suffering through the task without help. After all, they say, chatbots now exceed the ability of most human beings to produce fluent prose.

    "All this points to some questions about writing itself: Why work so hard to learn it? And what do students stand to lose when they stop facing down a blank page, alone with their thoughts?"

  41. The Blue Screen of Death

    An overreliance on technology means that invariably a writer will be left hanging when said technology breaks. I have become so used to the screen that I spent the last several days moping around, unable to work on my latest novel.

    My plethora of notebooks is a testament to how I used to write. Why is it so difficult for me to write without technology now? Pencils break, but there is always a pencil sharpener.

    And another pencil.

    Ink pens run out of ink, but I have plenty more in reserve. Paper never breaks. It can brown or get damaged, but I’ve had these notebooks for a LONG time.

    So it is a reminder to me that while technology is a helpful tool, it can also be a handicap.

    I put pen to paper.

    Lesson learned.

    Maybe.

  44. The Blue Screen of Death

    An overreliance on technology means that invariably a writer will be left hanging when said technology breaks. I have become so used to the screen that I spent the last several days moping around, unable to work on my latest novel.

    My plethora of notebooks is a testament to how I used to write. Why is it so difficult for me to write without technology now? Pencils break, but there is always a pencil sharpener.

    And another pencil.

    Ink pens run out of ink, but I have plenty more in reserve. Paper never breaks. It can brown or get damaged, but I’ve had these notebooks for a LONG time.

    So it is a reminder to me that while technology is a helpful tool, it can also be a handicap.

    I put pen to paper.

    Lesson learned.

    Maybe.
