I've talked about this here before, but my experience as a journalism instructor is that Grammarly makes students' writing worse. This was true even several years ago, pre-GenAI hype. The mushy, even incoherent sentences it created were what caused me to start warning them off it.
(I was with the historical society -- but we sit next to JACL a lot XD)

My kids never adjusted to the last time change and were creeping into my room at 6:30am all winter, so I for one welcome the change back!! XD
I feel like these days I'm constantly yelling at people about how a secure messaging system is only as secure as the human on the other end, so they need to stop worrying about ~hackers~ and start worrying about if they know people who use Face ID

I keep having nightmares about something coming for my children. How strange and unrelated to real world stressors!
(One night we were pursued thru the Shining hedge maze. Another night it was creepy dolls--a very big doll and *her* baby doll, which was coming at us upside-down. Do not recommend)
I am almost finished reading an ARC of this novel right now, and it is so well written, such a fascinating piece of world building (I have a guess where it is actually set but might be wrong), vivid characters, incredibly engaging. Recommended.
I want my brain BENT, I want to come out of a book DISORIENTED and GLEEFUL
Oh I've been looking forward to this one! Nearing the top of my TBR XD
