Whelp, it’s official. My aunt has COVID. Which means it’s very likely it’s in my household as well as she and my sister see each other every day at school. And so we are self-quarantining. Hopefully that and the end of finals means I’ll have more time for art.
A piece I did in class today. We covered reinforcement vs punishment and one thing I can't get out of my mind is that this is the first time I'm hearing that reinforcement is more effevtive than punishment in teaching desirable behaviors. In an upper division college level psychology course.
More people should be learning this type of thing in high school. Not all teacher, coaches, and mentors are going to take a class like this one. Definitelly not all parents are going to take such a course because many do not go to college or choose to pursue psychology. But so many children are punished harshly, where reinforcement would better obtain the desired result and would refrain from harming the child or their current or future mental state.
I don't know, it's just some thoughts I had.
“Your art isn’t valued by the number of notes you get” okay but. If you spent 6 hours baking a cake for a party, but no one at the party eats your cake, it’s still disappointing.
hey writeblr’s! what chronic illnesses do you wish were represented in fiction more often? i know that as someone with a whole load of chronic illnesses, there are a few i try to actively put in so…what do you wish was seen more often?
for me, it’s
*vision issues in young people
*fibromyalgia or any kind of chronic pain
*dyslexia (i don’t have it, but i think it really needs to be shown in characters more often)
*memory issues caused by an illness
*any kind of neurological disorder
add to the list, let’s get more things in fiction!
