  1. Book lovers, better sit down...

    pbs.org/newshour/show/post-lit

    Probably not a surprise for teachers, parents, & book lovers of a certain age, having spent much of life in the "pre-AI" age.

    I'm concerned about what can happen in schools - and in homes too, not to mention book stores attention span, & print #media writ large.

    People are not "reading for pleasure"! Not in the numbers we did, in our childhoods.

  3. I also speak about studies done by @kidsbooksirel and National Literacy Trust which indicates a decline in young people's reading for pleasure and why I think books formatted like #MagicalBountyHunters could help with this.

  9. I just discovered a great little charity in Ottawa ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ called StoryBook.

    They give books ๐Ÿ“š to children in lower-income neighbourhoods to help foster an interest in reading & to improve literacy skills.

    As an avid reader, I would love to help pass on a passion for reading to at least one child! ๐Ÿ“–

    Check it out here & please consider donating a couple of bucks if you can:

  15. RE: amicale.net/@franceinfo/116618

    A bit of context, to understand the decline of #eu #softpower :

    2024, #senegal
    Import from UE โ‚ฌ3,773 billions
    Export to UE โ‚ฌ0,713 billions

    EU sent 337 millions in #financial support.

    97,2% of the population is #muslim and #literacy (age 15+) ~50.4%

    This can give ideas on how much soft power EU can exert and how culturally effective it can be.

    Of course, if EU was providing #IT and #socialmedia and controlled key technologies in Senegal, soft power would be greater. Kind of as #US with EU.

  21. Truly at a loss for words here. This is funny in the most sad way possible. The ignorance on display is staggering. And she keeps finding new ways to be loudly and proudly wrong in the comments.

    This is going to be an Internet Hall of Famer.
