Not surprised that the wise @molly0xfff is one of the people taking the lead in moving away from Substack.

She also made one of the best choices in my mind to go for an independent home, self-hosting Ghost. And managed to do it with minimum impact for existing subscribers.

I do know this is not for everyone, but also know that you don’t necessarily need a VPS to host Ghost, there is managed hosting available – and many more options than the quite expensive official one.

“Texas is the only one nationwide to suppress [outlaw] students’ interactions with elected officials in class projects, according to researchers at the free expression advocacy group Pen America.
Practically overnight, a growing movement to engage students in real-world civics lessons evaporated.”

When you write longhand, you write slower than typing. Because it takes longer, you spend more time with what you’re writing. When you spend more time with what you’re writing, you remember and learn more. Typing shortcuts memory by shortcutting time.

@SergKoren I wholeheartedly agree and point that out in the "Where's the Evidence?" https://mgblog.org/2024/03/07/learning-something-anew.html I am now taking notes by hand and I find myself remembering more stuff from what I take notes on, and being able to apply it and recall it in conversation. That's a BIG benefit for me. It's also kinda ironic given my role as an edtech advocate who switched from writing cursive to typing early on in life, only to return after 30 years. 🙂
