Unreasonably omnicidal whenever I see someone incorrectly write "ageing" .
Why?
Why are you choosing to be wrong?
We are not TAKEING things
We are not WAKEING war
We are not MAKEING things
We are not BAKEING things
So fucking *STOP IT*
#BasicLiteracy please.

We're designing the future of learning, but 1 in 6 adults still struggles with basic reading. Before we perfect the AI tutor, shouldn't we ensure everyone can actually engage with what it's teaching? Literacy isn't retro - it's revolutionary.

This is such a fantastic book! The drawings are so cute and the dry sense of humour balances the book perfectly. It has a bit of a dark ending... Once you get into this author you will want to read all his books, and he has a few!
