I hate ‘self-taught’.

I hate ‘self-taught’. You’re not self-taught, you’re community taught. Self-taught is erasing all the work that allowed you to learn from freely available materials and people.

It’s a poor phrase for the idea that you are degreeless. And there’s nothing wrong with skipping formal education.

@maaretp "community-taught" erases all the work I put into finding my way without guidance or resources
