Another super informal poll! If you are a scholar, regardless of your relationship ship to academia (student/university employee/working outside academia), do you use Google apps like Docs, Sheets, & Slides?
Hi there! This morning the outdoor temperature is 44F. When I pick my kid up at 3 pm it will be 80F. Welcome to central North Carolina!
I’m curious: if you are currently or have ever been in a graduate program, are you familiar with the concept of “personal knowledge management”?
π Read Plan to rewrite NC teacher licensing could also raise pay, but it’s too early to say
Educators, what do you think? I’m not sure about the options for evaluation, but I like the idea of teacher leaders getting paid for their leadership work.

Studying up on Learning Experience Design & Research. Feeling it out for a potential career pivot in 2024.
Eventually I will get so annoyed with websites that are not responsive that I’ll start cold-quoting companies offering to fix that for them.
Took the Be Bright Studios Brand Quiz & it says mine is a “Generous Knowledge” brand which, yes.
Super informal survey but hey library workers, what would a professional organization that worked for YOU look like?
Chatting with Casey about D&D this morning and I’m thinking about constructivist pedagogy and how the DM can create a gradual release of responsibility to the player.
I’ve been feeling a need for increased witch vibes, so I slipped this pink agate in my pocket and drew a card from Visions in the Liminal Space this morning. You may never know the answer, so “Live the questions now,” as the deck’s guide quotes Rainer Maria Rilke.
Having big feelings because my favorite witch store’s owner moved away, even though the store has been online-only for a couple of years & I hadn’t seen the owner for a year or so before that. Just felt good knowing she was in town.
Sat on my foot and now it’s numb, really missing AIMs circa 2002 from Kelly O’Shea reminding me not to do this.
Bless the people who create prefilled Easter baskets because this mom who usually loves filling her kid’s basket does NOT have the bandwidth this year.
Gonna write a romance where one love interest has Hashimoto’s and has to bail on a date due to low spoons & the other love interest is like, “Cool, let’s hang at home” and then later they get married and whoops it turned into my life.

One last merch design for today: I PhDID IT!
