10 hours agoPeople who grew up being told they were too sensitive didn't become less sensitive. They became editors. Every reaction now passes through a filter that decides whether the feeling is proportionate enough to be allowed out, and that filtering process is so automatic they genuinely believe they're calm when they're actually curating. - Silicon Canals
Sensitive children often suppress their emotions, leading to automated behaviors that mask true feelings.

2 days agoPeople who remember exactly what you ordered last time, what song you mentioned once, and which side of the bed you prefer aren't just thoughtful. They grew up scanning rooms for shifts in mood and tone, and the attentiveness everyone admires was originally a surveillance system built for survival. - Silicon Canals
Social attentiveness often stems from childhood survival mechanisms rather than inherent generosity or thoughtfulness.

I got rid of my social media account. After a couple stints of temporarily deactivating my account, last summer I made the decision to delete my account for good. I haven't looked back. I realized I was craving connection and validation and decided to pursue that in the real world instead.

3 days agoPsychology suggests if you still write things down on paper instead of your phone you aren't resisting progress - you've found something that works and are practicing the increasingly rare skill of not replacing it simply because something newer arrived, and that skill, applied consistently, turns out to predict a surprising number of other things about how you make decisions - Silicon Canals
Handwriting enhances cognitive engagement and memory retention compared to typing, leading to better decision-making and creativity.

Librarians have been actively collaborating and talking about it almost every day, whether it's creating tutorials and digital learning objectives or thinking about the conversations to have with instructors. It can feel like cognitive dissonance to be actively working with AI on a regular basis and also saying we're constantly thinking about the harms and the biases.

Framing intelligence as a metered utility service risks shifting it from a cultivated human capacity to an external commodity, potentially weakening the cognitive habits and judgment-building processes developed through personal effort and experience.

2 months agoHow reading patterns have changed
I want to revisit the age old question about "button placement", to see how UX may have shifted, and how the technology we have now may have changed the way we consume content. And how that, in turn, impacts how buttons and UI elements are placed. If we read from left to right, where should the primary button go: left or right?

I don't read that much these days. I am lucky now if I read one novel a month. I am ashamed to admit that my current book has been open for six weeks. This isn't me. I am a lifelong devoted reader: the kid who hauled home a bicycle basket full of books from the public library every Saturday, and the teenager who found solace in reading myself into other lives.
