This article is genuinely insane. I learned to read at the same time and it was completely different. I was taught to sound out the words and if I came across a word I didn't know, they did suggest we use context clues to figure out the meaning, but it was also made clear that that was not a perfect solution and the best option is always to look it up. But seriously, just a memorizing? That is inside.
I taught English as a second language for over ten years. In order to become a proficient reader in English, most kids will need to be explicitly taught phonics. To become proficient in Japanese, you need to learn radicals.
Three-cueing is essentially crutches that help you get by but let you down eventually. It's very common when learning a foreign language, I misread kanji sometimes because I pattern-recognize based on context instead of really looking. The solution is to do some proper studying, but I don't wanna.
It's also interesting that this sort of contexual confabulation and pattern-recognizing is how LLMs work. Not sure what to do with that.
Absolutely fantastic article, but I do want to say that this...?
... Is absolutely terrifying in the context of all other anti-intellectualism happening right now. This guy is STILL pushing his 'observations' while denying evidence that it doesn't work.
#the part where he says it doesnβt matter if a child reads horse instead of pony bc the meaning is the same is.. particularly dire π#itβs immediately obvious that this doesnβt work as soon as books donβt have pictures in them ???
Good thing that there aren't any texts where subtle differences in meaning are important or anything like that.
quick question why does your cat command you to print something on the printer
he really likes to watch the printer print. It seems like he thinks thereβs some kind of creature in there that I have the mysterious power to summon that he can then hunt for sport?
he sticks his entire arm inside the printer and breaks it if I donβt put some kind of physical burrier between him and the printer but like he purrs so loud when it starts printing and will beg harder for people to print things than he will for treats.
he just loves hunting the printer so much. he even tried to climb inside the place the paper comes out of the printer when he was a kitten.
No matter where he is in the apartment if the printer makes a noise he sprints full speed. He also knows which button to press to get the printer to print like the ink levels info and alignment sheet, so you have to make sure itβs off or locked up or he will print nonstop himself and then attack the printer and jam it.
is it inconvenient that my cat is obsessed with the printer? yes, but damn if itβs not also adorable.
I donβt actually have a ton of photos of him sticking his whole arm in there though because stopping him from jamming the printer is usually a task that involves all of my arms and also all of my roommates arms.
Thinking about the post because I had to unplug the printer today because he broke into the closet and printed the info sheet 3 times in a row and did bite me when I tried to stop him
The face of a boy who is sulking because I expelled him from the printer closet.
the good news is that my cat is so happy, the bad news is that my sticker cutting machine that I got recently instils the same curiosity and lust for violence in my cat that my printer does so no matter what I do I will not know a moments peace.

No longer able to put up even the weakest opposition to the strange charge, local man Dylan Barwell was reportedly too tired and defeated Tuesday to fight a new $14.99 fee on his phone bill. βOh great, now I have to pay this?β said the utterly broken 33-year-old, ground down from years of customer service calls and failed refund attempts to the point that it scarcely crossed his mind to take action against the unexplained charge.
okay but mangaken's james x james art made me think of it. what if instead of (or along with?)meeting maria as a creeyp sexy reminder of his sins james also met a creepy sexy past james as a reminder of his sins. would love to see that ficcy if it inspires you
(@mangaken's incredible James/James Silent Hill 2 fanart)
I am thrilled to have an excuse to write weird James Sunderland selfcest; thank you for the prompt!

Thereβs someone leaning against the railing in Rosewater Park.
James tenses up every time he sees something moving here, expecting another monster. But thatβs β thatβs a human, isnβt it? βExcuse me, Iβm looking forββ
The stranger turns around, and James forgets what he was about to say. Itβs a man, heβs β familiar, James canβt put his finger onβ
βCan I help you?β the man asks, smiling.
Thereβs something familiar about his voice, too. Have they met?
It hits James an instant later: this man looks like him. He knows that face; heβs seen it in the mirror. Itβs justβ
He hasnβt seen himself smiling for a long time.
βIs something wrong?β the man asks, his smile fading.
βIβmββ This stranger isnβt commenting on their resemblance. Has he not noticed? Would it seem strange to bring it up? βIβm β sorry, Iβm looking for my wife, my name is James, she β she died three years ago, but she sent me a letter, andββ
Heβs too disconcerted to think clearly; heβs not presenting this information in any order that makes sense. The manβs expression is rapidly approaching concern, and thatβs familiar, thatβs familiar in a way thatβs almost painful to look at.
βDo you need to sit down?β the man asks.

Jamesβs duplicate is called Joseph, apparently. He steers James onto a bench, listens to his story, nodding thoughtfully. James has never...
Heβs never talked about it in so much detail before. It feels easy to talk to someone who looks like him. Like itβs safe, like no oneβs really listening. Like heβs just talking to himself.
A lot of the details are blurred, in his memory. Maryβs illness, Maryβs death, it feels like a lot of it is hovering just out of reach; he guesses itβs been a traumatic time. At one point, Joseph asks what heβs been doing since she died.
The question makes him uncomfortable. He doesnβt want to think about this. He doesnβt need to think about this; itβs not relevant. βIt doesnβt matter.β
-
βWhy are you here?β Joseph asks at last.
It startles James. Isnβt it obvious? βMary could be here.β
βMaybe,β Joseph says, βbut this town is full of monsters. I know youβve noticed.β He nods at the plank James has propped against the side of the bench. βItβs not worth your life, is it? The fact that your wife might be here?β
βI have to see her again,β James says. βI have to say...β
He canβt think of exactly what he has to say. But something, something important. That he loves her, that heβs...
βYou have to look after yourself,β Joseph says. βYou didnβt get sick; youβre still alive. Youβre the one whose needs still matter. Right?β
James stands up, sharply. βDonβt talk about her like that.β
βLike a dead person?β Joseph asks. βFrom what youβve told me, it sounds like she was gone long before she died.β
James hits him across the face.
βSorry,β Joseph says, laughing. βI guess I went too far.β
It doesnβt feel right, the laughter. When did James last laugh?
-
βHow are you feeling?β Joseph asks, oddly gentle. Stooping over him.
Why is Joseph here? Whereβ βWhere are we?β
James is on a bed. Why? He canβt take the time to rest, he needs to find Mary, but β but he feels terrible, exhausted and ill, his lungs burning with every breath. How long has he been awake?
Why canβt he remember getting here?
βWeβre in Brookhaven Hospital,β Joseph says. βYou breathed in the spray from one of those monsters. Itββ He seemed so casual before, but now heβs pale, he looks worried. βIt was bad.β
βHow bad?β James asks. It takes an effort.
Joseph leans down to kiss him. It feels strangely natural in the moment; itβs only an instant later that Jamesβs mind kicks in, starts to questionβ
Alarmed and disturbed by the sudden shift in tone, living room sources confirmed Thursday that local mother Jeanine Weaverβs remembrance of Sam Neill had taken a lewd turn. βHe was a terrific actor, one of my favorites to watchβand mm, mm, what a man he was,β said the 62-year-old woman who got a faraway look in her eyes that suggested to sources that Weaver had forgotten they were even standing in the same room.

Hello, tumblr! I saw something on here the other day that worried me, so I decided to Do Science about it. But I can't do it alone: I need your help to build the dataset!
Here's what I need you to do:
If you see a post with a "mature content" label, and it's 2026, DM me a link to the post.
Yes, that's really it.
I am hoping to collect several thousand such posts, so that I have a decent sized dataset. I do not care what the post is about; if it's labeled as "mature content", I want to add it to my dataset.
If I get 10,000 posts in my dataset before August 31st 2026, I will post my preliminary findings then. I won't feel comfortable calling my findings "settled" before 2027, unless I get over 50,000 posts.
