At my school, it's a graduation requirement to complete computer science I, but it doesn't even teach computer literacy. It teaches the basics of a couple scripting languages. That's it.
I have learned how to be computer literate because of my electives, not because of my actual computer class.
Technological literacy only exists in a very slim age demographic of people born from roughly 1980 to roughly 2007
Some JRWI fanart, my best work tbh
Aight y'all. Here's a lesson I learned from my wife, and I wish I'd learned it years ago:
Before you buy anything, take 5 minutes to search (preferably with a non-Google search engine like DuckDuckGo) "best [whatever] for [specific purpose if necessary]."
Make sure you look at who the reviews are from; there are a lot of bad spam sites out there, but you can find good lists on reputable sites. However, you'll get some of the best lists on Reddit.
Most of what you'll find at the top of the lists on Amazon (and Walmart) are people who have paid for that spot. You'll still have to use discernment to make sure you're picking a good review site, but I'm not kidding when i say that the last time we had to buy a plunger, I ended up on a thread on a plumber's forum where they were discussing which plunger they keep in their own bathroom. (The overwhelming winner was something called a Toilet Saber, and... it's much easier to use than the usual style of plunger, actually.)
She searches "best potato peeler" and "best pastry blender" and "best standing desk" and it seems so obvious, right, but she does it for literally everything and the average quality of things I own has gone way, way up since I started taking 5 minutes to search "best yoga socks" and "best cuticle trimmers" and then going to buy whatever it is.
Her research skills go into overdrive when it comes to big purchases; she's the one who researched our sublimation printer and found the desk I currently use. If there's an extremely passionate subreddit out there about the thing she wants to buy, she'll find it and then read half a dozen reviews.
I cannot stress enough how much she does this. About. Everything. And how much everything we own is better as a result.
It's amazing, honestly.
reblog if you’ve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. I’m trying to see something
A small animation that took WAY longer than I thought it would lmao
Song by Tally Hall, it's called Banana Man

Libraries are cool, you get free books and mine even offers a language app. Go to the library.
Charlie slimecicle says you should use your local library System.
Get a library card, use the computers, read a book on the couch, ask for help from the librarians, go to the events they host, look at the boards they have on the walls for local events, study, read a book in another language you are reading, take your kids there to meet other kids, hang out after school there, wait for a ride there, hang out before work, browse the audiobooks, and more.
There is so much you can do at a library just go and do it.

Talked about this on my main a bit, but if you haven't heard the wonderful hermit Jevin has been struggling with viewership and may have to get a second job to cover his bills. Jevin is such an incredible guy and he sticks to bits so hard. He puts an amazing amount of time and effort into his content and it's heartbreaking to see him possibly have to cut down his time on hermitcraft to be able to support himself.
So, if you're looking to start up Hermitcraft OR if you want to start a new Hermit OR if you want to help out a fella in need, watch Jevin! Watch his s10! Join me!
I'm coining the tag #Jevin Marathon 2025 for anybody that wants to join me. I'll be picking up his POV and watching back all of his s10 over the next few weeks. I'm making it a marathon for myself. If you follow along, let me know! Watch his content!
Post fanart, fics, hype posts, ANYTHING and slap on this tag so I know theres people out there that want to help! Get people interested in his content!
It can be something as simple as putting his videos on in the back while you work. Get his viewership up so YouTube promotes his content to more people.
Send me stuff! Tag me in stuff! Send Jevin requests!
Here's Jevin in a jar. I'll let him out when irl Jevin can pay his bills with the job he already has.
