@NomadWarMachine @wentale @dogtrax @telliowkuwp @niall_barr That is pretty neat! We start my children's literature class with Wittgenstein, define a game, then children's literature...same results

@wentale @NomadWarMachine @dogtrax @telliowkuwp @niall_barr Maybe if we teach enough poetry I will never have to read a research article full of metacrap like "In this article I will. In this section I will...." or worse false objectivity "In this article the researchers will"..... ....see previous message.....show not tell
@wentale @NomadWarMachine @dogtrax @telliowkuwp @niall_barr Adding a lesson on temporal words for kindergarten or using domain specific language in your analogies in high school.. Both outcomes possible when lesson is, "look at this picture and write a poem" Learning to show not tell is a writing lesson one must master in all subjects
@wentale @NomadWarMachine @dogtrax @telliowkuwp @niall_barr If "Why Cant I" isn't generalizable beyond poetry I don't know what is. A question both shallow and deep where all learning usually begins. Why poetry is one instruction where I don't start with standards. The lessons too universal. I teach poetry the same From k to college
@SenBlumenthal @CTMirror The bill is also written in a way to stop child predators....This is deliberate @SenBlumenthal wants to give AG Barr the ability to spy on people.. You oppose the affront on the first and fourth amendment, you must support child molesters....what about the children??
@SenBlumenthal @CTMirror The bill, while not using the word "encryption" would effectively empower "best practices" to enforce companies to break encryption or risk losing section 230 copyright protections. Big stick to bash encryption. @SenBlumenthal is giving William Barr just what he wants.
@SenBlumenthal @CTMirror The bill also removes section 230 privileges to those who do not conform to government sanctioned "best practices" speech. They dangle protections while removing freedom of speech. Tell @SenBlumenthal his bill must die
@SenBlumenthal @CTMirror First @senblumenthal has the bill enforce yet to defined "best practices" attacks your free speech. ...You really want Barr and Trump defining "best practices online" Tell @senblumenthal his bill must die
If a citizen of Connecticut you need to know @senblumenthal trying to erode your first amendment rights and fourth amendment protections with the EARN IT Act. This bill is SO bad for the web, call him and oppose bill cc @ctmirror
#smallpoems #clmooc Amazing how fast meaning shifts stating "I can't" So definite. Yet add a Why meaning flies When "Why can't I" rolls off the tongue unlimited possibilities untwist from time Power fed to the powerless All in three letters W-H-Y
Why can't I sleep why can't I cry? why can't I pee why can't I concentrate Why can't I burp, sneeze, find a job, poop? Why can't I sleep at night Maybe I shouldn't ask all these questions
I can't sleep I can't breath I can't stand the rain I can't I can't drive 55 I can't help myself I can't wait I can't stop loving you I can't get no satisfaction Why Can't I?
@wentale @telliowkuwp and if you think one show a week is too much wait until you learn about the two day online poetry festival we are all going to plan for the end of the month.......
