psalva Makes sense. Θαλλασα (thalasa) is the Greek word for sea. This is a new one for me though. 1w

Code-Dependent: Living in the Shadow of AI | Madhumita Murgia

moonela Definitely, is easier “talk” with AI, you never discuss, you never disagree, you don‘t see faces, feelings. But we need to, but at the same time sometimes is difficult, because the people, us, don‘t know how to disagree. 2w

Purpleness @moonela Definitely, and we won‘t learn by “talking” with AI 2w

Maybe not that weird, but I had to look it up when I came across it earlier in this book.

The Perils of Lady Catherine de Bourgh: A Novel | Claudia Gray

Texreader One would hope so! 😃 4w

rwmg “The Duchess was very angry. 'This is unheard of. I may not leave my quarters unless chaperoned by an older woman and a man of my family whose rank may not be lower than that of marquis. To do otherwise would be unseemly.' And so the duchess burned to death in the name of seemliness.“

Creation (Revised)

Purpleness @rwmg Ah, but it seems due to her tragic end, she was unable to publish her etiquette book, so her scruples appear to have died with her;) 4w

Purpleness @Texreader Well, I certainly would 4w

Purpleness @rwmg Also, that is hilarious (as well as tragic). Thanks for sharing. 4w

The Annethology: A Collection of Kindred Spirits Inspired by the Canadian Icon | Judith Graves

So, I went into this more or less blind, for some reason expecting essays on the impact of Anne of Green Gables, and boy was that first short story not what I was expecting! The second one, however, was not bad, and did include this gem of a word; bibliocuriosity. The third one is bittersweet; hopeful but not syrupy. Still on the fence as I move on to the fourth.

#truthandreconciliation #orangeshirtday Reading this over the Truth and Reconciliation long weekend. Already some thoughtful perspectives I hadn‘t considered.

ShyBookOwl That line definitely pulls me in! 2mo

MariaW I am using this first line currently as an ad to get students to borrow it from our student‘s library. 😂 2mo

Purpleness @MariaW Yes, that‘s awesome! At a previous job I used to do a first-chapter read-aloud to try to get kids to check out the book if they wanted to find out how it ended. 2mo

Purpleness @ShyBookOwl Absolutely! It does its job well 2mo
