No YOU’RE developing a Super Why TRPG ruleset in your head because your almost-3-year-old is getting into collaborative storytelling.

I want the cut where @julieklausner plays Pumbaa.

I always miss theater. Let’s put on a show.

A little light summer weekend reading.

TFW when you’re reading Gee’s list of teaching features of video games and you just want to go home and play video games.

M’s teacher: I was talking to [other teacher] about crystals and M. said, “My mama has crystals!” and I said, “Yeah, that makes sense.” (Hi, I’m Kimberly, and I’m a millennial cliche.)

🔖 Gee, J. (2005). Semiotic social spaces and affinity spaces: From the age of mythology to today’s schools. In D. Barton & K. Tusting (Eds.), Beyond communities of practice: Language, power, and social context (pp. 214–232).

Much of what Gee has to say here is similar to what he said in his book in 2004. He adds here the designation “semiotic social space” to name the types of spaces he described in his book. He emphasizes that generators create signs that make up the content of the game. These signs can be viewed as internal, the original content itself and its design, or external, the individual and social practices surrounding the content and how people “organise their thoughts, beliefs, values, actions and social interactions in relation to the signs made available” in the content (p. 219).

   Instant Pot Chicken Tikka Masala with Cauliflower and Peas - Skinnytaste

   I've created a lightened up, dairy-free Chicken Tikka Masala with Cauliflower and Peas in the Instant Pot to satisfy my craving for Indian food! This mild curry is made with boneless chicken thighs cooked in a tomato base, with lots of spices and coconut milk. You can serve this with garlic naan or basmati rice on the side (cauliflower rice would work too to keep it low carb!)
